The Proceedings of the USSR Academy of Sciences (Russian: Доклады Академии Наук СССР, Doklady Akademii Nauk SSSR (DAN SSSR), French: Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences de l'URSS [kɔ̃t ʁɑ̃dy də lakademi de sjɑ̃s də ly.ɛʁ.ɛs.ɛs]) was a Soviet journal[1] that was dedicated to publishing original, academic research papers in physics, mathematics, chemistry, geology, and biology.

Today, it is continued by Doklady Akademii Nauk (Russian: Доклады Академии Наук),[2] which began publication in 1992.

A number of translation journals exist which publish selected articles from the original by subject section; these are listed below.

[4] Doklady Akademii Nauk SSSR-Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences de l'URSS, Seriya A first appeared in 1925 publishing original, academic research papers in the sciences, mathematics and technology in Russian or very occasionally in English, French or German.

[6] Some Comptes Rendus (Doklady)... articles also appear to have been published in European journals, and Reaxys/Beilstein and Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft (Chemische Berichte), Web of Science, Chemical Abstracts (SciFinder) and "Doklady" all use different transliteration schemes.

[8] SciFinder incorrectly assigned Doklady Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya A to articles published between 1933 and 1935, v.2 in Doklady Akademii Nauk SSSR and to articles published between 1935, v.3(8) to v.56(2), 1947 in Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences de l'URSS.

SciFinder records also do not consistently provide both the Russian and English, French or German pagination for the 1933–1935, v.2 articles.

Web of Science adds a further complication by incorrectly omitting (Doklady) from the journal title,[9] while Reaxys/Beilstein incorrectly gives Chemische Berichte as the journal title for articles appearing in Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft.

[11] Determining the appropriate English translation journal for articles published in ‘Doklady’ is often problematic.

One approach is to check the Russian Doklady issue contents page to identify the subject section and then determine in which translation journal the article was published.

[24] Covers geochemistry, geography, geology, geophysics, hydrogeology, lithology, mineralogy, paleontology, petrography, oceanology, soil science.

[26] The journal contained translations of the mathematics sections of volumes 244–322 of DAN SSSR (1979–end).
