Inter-Research (IR) is a very small company, compared to the great publishing houses that own thousands of scientific journals, but maintains its independence, as opposed to numerous other small publishers who have been taken over by the major players. IR is exceptional in relying on in-house copy editing and typesetting, at a time when most science publishers outsource these tasks to inexpensive contractors in Third World countries.^{[citation needed]}
