Scientific paper

It is argued that the conventional local standard of rest (LSR) is not the most appropriate standard to use for large-scale studies of galactic rotation. Three major deformities in the present picture of the Galaxy are removed if a rotational standard of rest (RSR) is adopted, relative to which the LSR moves with a velocity of approximately 11 km/sec directed towards approximately 130 deg.
