Introduction
The issue of scientific knowledge openness is urgent worldwide, but for Russia it is particularly crucial for two reasons: open access policy is still not accepted by government and the most cited academic journals are poorly accessible. Solution for this issue is proposed by means of the gold-oriented method which is implemented in the project of open access repository called as CyberLeninka. It is designed in order to improve scholarly communication, promote science and research activities, control research papers quality and increase citation/download rates of journals in Russia and CIS.
