Yes, you can find Science facilities from the Industry window or the map, but one of the easiest ways to find citadel structures is with the Structure Browser, and through the Structure Browser there is no way to determine if a facility offers Research services.

I believe the lists of services in the Structure Browser corresponds to the services that are listed on the information window when viewing an object. However, only the 'Industry' service shows up when viewing a research station, as if that is all that counts. This however is inadequate information.

Once science related services are added as a service type, then the structure browser can also be updated to be able to filter through stations that offer science services.

This pretty obviously needs to happen. If we're to have anything resembling public player-owned facilities then discovery options need to be easy to use (and not linked to just the title on a structure).

I'm sure it will happen. I'm still a little disturbed that the alpha version of structures that we're seeing right now is so far from where it needs to be. But oh well I guess. They're out and we get to deal with iterations as they come.

...and 10 years from now, citadels have so much "spaghetti-code" of features added to them that the summer 2027 expansion is called "Fort in Space".

Not a bad idea for the engineering complexes.
