United States Joint Publications Research Service


The Joint Publications Research Service was a United States government defense-funded organization that was absorbed into the Foreign Broadcast Information Service but its funding and personnel did not transfer. For all practical purposes it ceased its massive operations in 1970, and gradually wound down to virtually nothing under FBIS by 1997.
According to FBIS, access to current and past JPRS reports is possible via World News Connection. In 2012, Readex, a division of NewsBank, began releasing its digital edition entitled Joint Publications Research Service Reports, 1957–1994.
