The Scout Report To Cease “Subject-Specific” Reports
The GOOD NEWS is that The Scout Report will continue!!!

The last issue of the Scout Report for Social Sciences & Humanities will be May 29, the last Scout Report for Business & Economics will be May 31, and the last issue of the Scout Report for Science & Engineering will be June 20.
