Reference excerpt

VINITI Database RAS is a database provided by the All-Russian Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (VINITI). The database is devoted to scientific publications. It is described as a large abstracting database. In general, it is indexed for the natural sciences, exact sciences, and technical sciences. Included in this database is AJ (Abstract Journal), indexed from 1981 to the present day. The database is made up of published materials encompassing, conference proceedings, trade publications, thesis, periodicals, books, patents, regulatory documents, and collected scientific literature. Russian sources make up 30% of the deposited scientific works. The database produces documents that have a bibliographal description, keywords, a heading and an abstract. Primary source abstracts are mostly in Russian. Another organizational structure of the VINITI database is its divisions into 29 thematic fragments. Also, there are over 230 editions of this database. A single Polythematic database was added in 2001, which is able to combine all the thematic fragments, except for "Mathematics". In addition, the thematic fragment, "Chemistry", is updated two times per month.

Scientific literature deposited at VINITI The following is a sample of the scientific literature that is deposited at the All-Union Institute of Scientific and Technical Information (VINITI).

Peer reviewed journals Materials Science, Springer New York. Materials Science is a translation of the peer-reviewed Ukrainian journal Fizyko-Khimichna Mekhanika Materialiv. Russian Journal of Physical Chemistry A ( (Zhurnal fizicheskoi khimii). MAIK Nauka/Interperiodica (publisher). 2010. It was established in 1930.

Separate editions of VINITI The separate editions of this database are respectively entitled: "Scientific and scientific-technical journals and collections", "Overview", "Express Info", "Abstract collections", "Information Collections", "Newsletters".

Information Collections Information Collections is also a periodical which publishes detailed abstracts, and analysis on foreign documents. The foreign works are characterized as scientific, technical, legal and economics literature, focused and related to a defined area of science and technology. Information Collections publishes the following issues:

Series: 1, 2, 3. Economics and Management in Foreign Countries Crime abroad

Deposited scientific works This separate edition contains the "Bibliographic Index". The bibliographic index contains bibliographic descriptions of scientific papers, deposited at VINITI RAS and industry centers.

Thematic fragments The 29 thematic fragments, mentioned above, are broad subject fields (categories) such as the following:

Automation and electronics AB 1981 Astronomy AU 1989 Biology BI 1981 Computational Science Engineering MN 1981 Medicine MD 1998 Metallurgy MT 1981 Physics FI 1983

Subcategories These broad subject fields are each further divided into subfields. For example, Astronomy (Au) encompasses:

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with VINITI Database RAS

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what VINITI Database RAS claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to VINITI Database RAS before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about VINITI Database RAS ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of VINITI Database RAS

In research: VINITI Database RAS appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses VINITI Database RAS in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: VINITI Database RAS is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Bibliographic databases and indexes, Databases in Russia, Online databases, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for VINITI Database RAS outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
