Hence many problems of science and technology may be solved in less time with the help of an as-encompassing systematic information service. This need has caused the widespread appearance of numerous informational publications, such as abstracts journals giving a compact concentration of the problems dealt with in specialized literature.

As distinguished from most countries where independent abstracts journals mark the prevailing trend, the USSR issues a systematic Abstracts Journal in several series, which comprises a universal encyclopedic reference manual covering ah the latest achievements in science and technology. The Abstracts Journal series constitute only the primary stage in the processing of the entire mass of scientific information.

The annual subscription price is 480 roubles. Starting with 1958 a number of the Abstracts Journal series "Biology," "Geography," "Engineering," "Metallurgy" and "Chemistry" apart from the complete editions are also being issued in separate reprints in booklet form covering individual sections of the former.

Organizationally the Institute consists of editorial offices, scientific departments and research laboratories. The Institute has eleven editorial offices covering in their Abstracts Journal series the respective sciences However, the Editorial Office for "Chemistry" also handles the "Biological Chemistry" series and that of"Physics" the "Geophysics" series)

The bibliographical description is used for books, reference manuals, textbooks, collections, reviews and popular science articles, non-original articles on materials published earlier and certain articles on adjacent branches of science. The abstract The size of the abstract is determined by the value of the article.

If the article is in a foreign language, the bibliographical description consists of, firstly, the Russian translation of the title, and the author's family name in the Russian transcription. Neither the author's first name nor his initials are given in the Russian transcription because (unless the full name is known)

The Electric Mocleding Laboratory has been assigned the following tasks: elaboration of the theory and principles for the designing of information machines; development of the theory of new methods of electric modeling; creation of new technical means for moclelling and design of information machines. In 1957 an experimental machine consisting of magnetic elements, ferrite and capacity memory units was developed in the main.
