The objects of the study were the Russian and global publication arrays in the OpenAlex and The Lens databases in comparison with the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS CC) for the period 2014–2023, with a special emphasis on the period 2019–2023. It was found that OpenAlex has a number of advantages over The Lens, since Russian publications are significantly underrepresented in The Lens. A comparative analysis of the dynamics of the shares of Russian publications by subject categories in OpenAlex and The Lens against the background of WoS CC showed that during 2019–2023, the gap between the shares of Russian publications in the global array in these resources relative to WoS CC for most intersecting subject categories narrowed. The data on the share distribution of Russian publications in 2021–2023 in OpenAlex correlate with the indicators in WoS CC, which gives hope for high relevance of search results using OpenAlex.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Выбор наиболее релевантной платформы для проведения мониторинговых исследований российского массива публикаций на мировом фоне, включая анализ публикационных потоков по различным научным категориям, ‒ актуальная задача. Объектами проведённого исследования служили российский и мировой массивы публикаций в базах данных OpenAlex и The Lens в сравнении с Web of Science Core Collection (WoS CC) за период 2014–2023 гг. с особым акцентом на период 2019–2023 гг. Обнаружено, что OpenAlex обладает рядом преимуществ перед The Lens, поскольку российские публикации значительно недопредставлены в The Lens. Сравнительный анализ динамики долей российских публикаций по предметным категориям в OpenAlex и The Lens на фоне WoS CC показал, что в течение 2019–2023 гг. разрыв между долями российских публикаций в мировом массиве в этих ресурсах относительно WoS CC по большинству пересекающихся предметных категорий сократился. Данные о долевом распределении российских публикаций в 2021–2023 гг. в OpenAlex коррелируют с показателями в WoS CC, что позволяет надеяться на высокую релевантность результатов поиска с помощью OpenAlex.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>science in Russia</kwd><kwd>Russia’s contribution to world science</kwd><kwd>open information and bibliographic databases</kwd><kwd>arrays of publications</kwd><kwd>OpenAlex</kwd><kwd>The Lens</kwd><kwd>scientometric research</kwd><kwd>subject categories</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>наука в России</kwd><kwd>вклад России в мировую науку</kwd><kwd>открытые информационно-библиографические базы данных</kwd><kwd>массивы публикаций</kwd><kwd>OpenAlex</kwd><kwd>The Lens</kwd><kwd>наукометрические исследования</kwd><kwd>предметные категории</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Pranckutė R.
