INTRODUCTION 

TIvs bibliography is the result of a request made by participants of a WHO-Sponsored 
Workshop for Strengthening of the National Nutrition Research Programme, organised 
by the Medical Research Institute in April, 1988. There has been no documentation of 
writings on food, nutrition and related topics, although these subjects have been researched 
on for over a century. Many of the present-day researchers are unaware of .what has 
been done before. There is also duplication of work in several laboratorise because of a 
lack of awarences of research in progress elsewhere in the country. 

Publications indexed here are those on food, nutrition and on the relationship between 
nutrition and health, agriculture, economics and education, and on food and nutrition 
policy planing, by Sri Lankans and non-Sri Lankans working in Sri Lanka, and by Sri 
Lankans on research done outside Sri Lanka. 

ARRANGEMENT 

The bibliography consists of a subject section and an author index. Under each 
subject heading entries are listed in chronological order according to the year of publica­
tion. Subject indexing has been done according to title and, in some cases, after examina­
tion of the text. References have been listed under broad headings as far as possible. 

The bibliographical elements included in each entry are listed in the following 
order': 

For books, monographs, reports : 

author, title of publication, place of publication, publisher, year of publication, 
pagination. 

For periodical articles: 

author, title of article, journal title or abbreviation, volume number, 
year, pagination. 

A few entries have been incorporated without complete information on pagina­
tion. 

METHOD 

All available medical periodicals and non-medical science periodicals have been 
indexed. References were obtained by scanning publications, by requesting lists of 
publications from researchers and from the existing bibliographies on medical science. 

1 



Only full length publications have been indexed, abstracts of communications to 
learned societies and references to presentations at meetings and seminars (without sub­
sequent publication of the paper), and newspaper articles, being excluded.
