The sixteenth annual annotated catalog of book publications of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine has traditionally been formed on the basis of annual reports of scientific institutions of the NAS of Ukraine and control copies of publications submitted to the Scientific Publishing Council of the NAS of Ukraine academic institutions. The catalog includes bibliographic descriptions of books published during 2020 — scientific monographs, nonperiodical collections of scientific works, vocabulary, reference, encyclopaedic, popular science, educational publications.
The catalog contains bibliographic descriptions of 861 book editions, accompanied by abstracts in their original language. An abstract in state language is also provided for publications in English.
Descriptions are grouped into 29 thematic sections. The largest sections of the catalog are «History» (120 titles), «Economics» (95) and «Biology» (57). The remaining sections contain from four («Giography») to 47 («Physics») descriptions.
At the end of the catalog there are auxiliary indexes: the first one is of the institutions of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, whose publications are represented in the catalog, with the indication of the serial numbers of these book publications; the second one is of institutions that do not belong to the structure of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, but which are involved in the preparation and publication of printed works in conjunction with the academic institutions.
The electronic version of the annotated catalog for 2020, as well as the previous catalogs for 2004–2019, is presented at the website of the ScientificPublishing Council of the NAS of Ukraine at:
