| Summary: | It is demonstrated that the share of meeting abstracts and proceeding papers accounts for 20% of publications indexed in Web of Science Core Collection. There has been carried out an evaluation of the Russian scientific community’s inclusion in generating publication flow, formed using meeting abstracts and proceeding papers, indexed in Web of Science Core Collection. It is demonstrated that the accumulative share of Russian conference content in the overall volume of documents of this type, indexed in WоS CC in 2014, equals 1,56%, which places Russia 15th in the world rating. The relative share of Russian meeting abstracts in the global cohort of WoS CC is 0,98% (22th in the global rating), and the share of proceeding papers is 2,32% (10th in the world). The article analyses the effect of publications from international conferences, held in Russia, on the national publication flow, indexed in WоS CC. Attention is drawn to the fact that more than half of international conferences, organized by Russian Academy of Sciences, do not fulfil their function in internationalising outcomes of fundamental research, completed in Russia.It is concluded that such content as publications from conferences is poorly used by the professional Russian scientific community for translating new scientific knowledge and increasing the volume of national publication flow, indexed in international bibliometric databases.
