In science and technology, the JPRS series on Foreign Developments in Machine Translation and Information Processing, 173 issue of which have been published, has proven valuable to researchers in the field. For example, a recent Office of Technical Services special bibliography on machine translation lists 250 citations of reports and translations on the subject; 118 of these were JPRS reports JPRS charges the government agencies for which it works the same price for all translations regardless of subject matter or language.
