He led about 150 leading earth scientists from Ukraine and abroad in writing the encyclopedias.[1] The first installment of the project, the Explanatory Dictionary of Mining (Ukrainian: Тлумачний гірничий словник) was published in print in 1998 by the Donetsk National Technical University and is available online.[2]

The second phase of the project involved the publication of the three-volume Encyclopedic Dictionary of Mining (Ukrainian: Гірничий енциклопедичний словник) between 2001 and 2004. This set contains 12,700 encyclopedic articles.[1]
