Why it’s useful & how it works
CyberLeninka is the largest open-access scholarly library for Russian-language research, hosting peer-reviewed journal articles free to read without registration. It covers every academic discipline and is the primary place to find Russian and post-Soviet scientific output that international indexes like PubMed or Crossref typically miss. You search by topic, author, or journal on cyberleninka.ru; because there is no official public API, Echo links you directly to the CyberLeninka search page so you can run your query there.
What’s inside
Millions of full-text articles from Russian and CIS scientific journals spanning all academic disciplines. CyberLeninka draws more than two million unique readers per month, making it one of the most visited open-access archives in the world.
