Commentarii academiae scientiarum imperialis Petropolitanae
(Memoirs of the imperial academy of sciences in St. Petersburg)
The Commentarii academiae scientiarum imperialis Petropolitanae (CASP) was the first journal series published by the St. Petersburg Academy. Its publication eventaully ran to 14 annual volumes, of which Euler published in numbers 2-14.
One feature to note is that the publication lag for each journal was quite large; The years which appear as volume numbers can lag up to 10 years behind the actual year of publication. When possible, both dates are noted below.
