An extensive survey of attitude towards scientific information of scientists in Japan was conducted in Japan. It was published in a technical report, and this survey is reviewed in this paper, with the hope that this will furnish findings important in working out the plan for promoting exploitation of mathematical talent in biomedical research. Findings are concordant with the impression of foreign visitors: (1) pure mathematicians tend to concentrate on mathematics only; (2) applied mathematics and statistics are heavily oriented toward industry; (3) mathematicians and pharmacologists are very different in their attitudes to scientific information. Based on the personal experience of the author, difficulties to be circumvented in utilizing aptitudes for mathematics and/or statistics in biomedical research are discussed.
在日本对日本科学家对科学信息的态度进行了广泛调查。该调查结果发表在一份技术报告中，本文对这项调查进行了综述，希望这能为制定促进生物医学研究中数学人才开发计划提供重要的研究结果。研究结果与外国访客的印象一致：（1）纯数学家往往只专注于数学；（2）应用数学和统计学严重倾向于工业领域；（3）数学家和药理学家对科学信息的态度差异很大。基于作者的个人经验，讨论了在生物医学研究中利用数学和/或统计学才能时需要规避的困难。
