Core offering

Издательство «Наука» is the scientific publishing division of the Russian Academy of Sciences, publishing monographs, peer-reviewed academic journals in Russian and foreign languages, and reference books across all academic disciplines. Its flagship digital offering is the Electronic Archive of Socio-Humanitarian Knowledge, a web platform providing institutional access to RAS journals, monographs, and educational materials from partner institutions.

Product overview

Издательство «Наука» operates primarily as an electronic archive platform (Электронный архив социогуманитарных значений) rather than a software product. The main offering is the Electronic archive of socio-humanitarian knowledge - a digital repository platform that provides access to academic journals, monographs, and educational materials. The system allows institutional subscriptions through the Russian Academy of Sciences network and accepts submissions from partner organizations. Materials are published in HTML or PDF formats, and the platform hosts materials from journals operating on the JES technological platform. The core product functions as a searchable digital library covering socio-humanitarian disciplines with subject categories including History, Sociology, Economics, Law, Political Science, Linguistics, Literature, Psychology, and natural sciences.
