Academy Edition

an especially carefully prepared edition, containing a scientifically researched text and its variants, accompanied by detailed explanatory notes and other reference material. Examples of academy editions are the most complete editions of the collected works of the classics of world literature, science, social thought—for example, the collected works of A. S. Pushkin in 16 volumes and 20 books, of M. V. Lomonosov in eight volumes, of I. P. Pavlov in six volumes, and so forth.

(2) Sometimes academy edition is used to refer to the editions of the Akademia Publishing House, which existed between 1922 and 1938, as well as to editions published by academies.
