  The paper presents first results of the CitEcCyr project funded by RANEPA.
The project aims to create a source of open citation data for research papers
written in Russian. Compared to existing sources of citation data, CitEcCyr is
working to provide the following added values: a) a transparent and distributed
architecture of a technology that generates the citation data; b) an openness
of all built/used software and created citation data; c) an extended set of
citation data sufficient for the citation content analysis; d) services for
public control over a quality of the citation data and a citing activity of
researchers.
