Abstract
This study seeks to understand the nature of research communications during the global crisis that occurred due to COVID-19. The velocity of the current knowledge delivery patterns vs the information reliability is considered. The instruments of open science are revealed, the open access to the research results being the most important among them. The academic research networks, citizen science patterns, online and offline research conferences are under consideration as well. The existing academic communications, training, and exchanges are interconnected with the problem of massive carbon footprint. For Russia, the new principlesof knowledge dissemination carry the possibility of increasing the visibility of domestic science even while maintaining the current level of scientific productivity. In order to reach higher visibility Russia has to participate more in global scientific exchanges.
