The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has announced that the Russian Ministry of Education and Science has selected Science Classic, the digital archives of Science (1880–1996), as the first acquisition in a major project to provide national access to scientific archives. Russian students, scientists, and professors can now access 116 years of Science's archive through a local platform provided by the National Electronic Information Consortium (NEICON).
The Ministry's project, established in Summer 2011 to create a scientific archive within the Russian Federation, will provide 600 non-profit and academic institutes with access to the digital archives. Through the NEICON Consortium, Russian researchers and academics will receive access to both Science Online (1997–current) and Science Classic (1880–1996), the complete catalogue of Science content.
Science Classic, maintained and preserved by AAAS, delivers more than a century's worth of full-text news articles, commentary, reviews, perspectives, and peer-reviewed research papers from the annals of the world's largest general science journal. With every issue from 1880 to 1996 now available, Science Classic allows readers to access the PDF version of the full-text article, plus bibliographic citations, abstracts, and references.
