Odd that I cannot find an existing report on this... Closest I found is this, but that is for a very old version. And -- it states that the science points are awarded correctly, it's only the statistics that display wrong.
I noticed that my research is going slower than expected, so I investigated... I have the following setup:
There are no modules in the labs, and their research speed is 3.5 (+250%) from research.
When I import Agricultural Science from Gleba, I would expect that the science progressed equals the number of flasks I import, but it does not (remember -- no modules). In the specific example I logged, I imported 1000 flasks from Gleba, and Spidertron was at 2052/2500. After the labs consumed the 1000x flasks, the Spidertron was finished, but the next one in the list (Fish Breeding) was only at 41/500. I would have expected that it should be finished -- what happened to my other 511 flasks?
None of the Gleba flasks turned to spoilage -- I checked.
I checked other times as well, but didn't do an explicit flask count -- only noticed that the research that should have been complete wasn't.
I have not checked if the same issue exists when I don't chain-feed the labs.

Science packs give less research proportional to their spoil timer. Make better logistics to get more out of them.

Thanks for the info.
Please could you add that information to the Factoriopedia and / or description of the science pack? Unless I'm being blind?
At the moment it simply reads: "Used by labs for research." I would suggest updating to: "Used by labs for research. Science capacity proportional to freshness."
