VINITI

The Institute publishes Referativny Zhurnal ("The Abstract Journal") and produces the VINITI Database RAS.

[1] VINITI is the name for the Russian, and formerly Soviet, organization, All-Union Institute for Scientific and Technical Information.

Much of the former Soviet database contained materials unique to the Eastern bloc scientific community, which was just then being made available to American, British, Western European, and Japanese scientists and researchers.

By 2002, VINITI had become a team of highly skilled professionals processing more than one million scientific publications annually.

The database contains the Abstract Journal which is distributed, subscribed to, and read by scientists in 60 countries, with more than 330 publications covering all fields of basic and applied sciences.
