The authors discuss the findings of the empirical bibliometric analysis of the dynamics of 1993–2020 national and international publications on cardiovascular system (С&CVS) and medicine and health (M&H) in SCI-E database (WoS). The study revealed that by 2020, the share of Russian M&H publications was almost as twice (10.9%) as the share of the same publications in the world M&H array. The share of Russian funded C&CVS publications was growing at heady rate, from 3.0% in 2010 up to 24.9% in 2020. The citation analysis of C&CVS publications evidences that the impact of competitive financing is much higher than that of the Open Access system. The Cardiology journal leaded in the Russian publications in 2020 and in 2016 and was publishing foreign articles intensively. The Russian cardiologists were active authors in the most prestigious international journals in 2016: 7% of publications in European Journal of Heart Failure and 6.2% in Atherosclerosis journal. The findings of the study can be used for planning science policy in medicine and health.
The speedy development of the Russian vaccine, "Sputnik-V," created by the Gamaleya National Research Center (the Gamaleya NRC), attracted great attention worldwide.However, it resulted from many Russian scholar's" contributions to virology research (Kramer A., 2020).This project aims to provide insights into important research development on virology through empirical analysis of Russian publications from 2000-to 2019.The metadata was retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection and InCites (Clarivate Anal.).The search strategy was discussed with an expert on virology.The Russian research performance (RP) growth rate was significantly higher -290%, then the growth rate (190%) of the world dataset on virology from 2000 to 2019.The Dataset of Russian RP consisted of 6,636 records.A more detailed analysis was focused on the period 2015-2019.
Проанализирована структура международного научного сотрудничества российских ученых с коллегами из Ирана, Индии и Турции в 2011-2021 гг. по статистике InCites. Выбор стран обусловлен их растущей ролью на мировой научной арене и тесным сотрудничеством с Россией в последние десять лет. Комплексный анализ закономерностей сотрудничества включает выявление дисциплинарных приоритетов в предметных областях, а также ведущих организаций и моделей соавторства. Полученные данные подтверждают растущее партнерство в дисциплинах, ориентированных в основном на фундаментальные исследования в области физики и клинической медицины. В исследуемых странах ведущие сотрудничающие организации полностью или частично финансируются национальными правительствами. Библиометрические показатели свидетельствуют о высоком качестве совместных публикаций. Более распространена модель соавторства исследовательских групп от 2-х до 10 человек, их доля составила около 50%. Гипер-соавторство очень значительно в области физики - более 70%. В клинической медицине преобладают группы от 11 до 50 авторов. Результаты представленного исследования могут быть полезны специалистам, принимающим решения по научной и социальной политике, а также и финансирующим организациям. We conducted an investigation into the patterns of international collaboration (IC) among Russian scholars' publications, specifically articles and reviews, with their counterparts from Iran, India, and Turkey during the period spanning from 2011 to 2021.The selection of these countries was based on their growing role on the world science stage and partnership with Russia in the last ten years.The primary objectives of this study are to conduct a comprehensive analysis investigating the patterns of Russian collaborations with selected countries. This includes revealing the disciplinary priorities in their international collaborations, identifying the top organizations involved, and understanding the model of co-authorship. The findings indicate a growing partnership across various disciplines, with a particular focus on basic research in physics and clinical medicine.The top collaborating organizations in Russia, as well as in each of the studied countries (Iran, India, and Turkey), are either wholly or partially funded by their respective national governments. Furthermore, the values of bibliometric indicators for these collaborative publications indicate a high level of quality. Our findings could benefit decision-makers by providing evidence-based data and funding agencies.
The development of the Open Access (OA) journals system, its advantages, anddisadvantages are discussed. The bibliometric statistics on Russian research performance(RP) were collected from the Science Citation Index – Expanded (SCI-E) for the period 2008-2017. During this period, Russian researchers published about 34,160 articles in Gold OAjournals which share in the total Russian research performance (303,877 articles) accounts for11.2 percent. The usage pattern of Gold OA journals shows a stable growth rate of publications from 7.8% in 2008 up to 13.7% in 2017. Despite the high cost of OA publications, the Russian Academy of Sciences has the highest share (58.6%) of OA papers. We assume that this is an impact of a robust international collaboration of Russian researchers with the US (31%), Germany (29%) and other industrialized countries that cover the cost of collaborative publications. Among the funding organizations that aim to promote Russian participation in the OA system a critical role belongs to the Russian Science Foundation, the Russian Foundation for Basic Research as well as to CNRS (France), the US National Science Foundation and others. The international collaboration and government appropriations for research in universities had substantial impact on citations score: share of Gold OA highly cited articles amounted to 52% out of the Russian total RP. Leading Research Areas (RA in SCI-E) of Gold OA publications turned out to be entirely different compared with a disciplinary structure in total Russian RP. As an example, one of the most critical research areas in the world - Scientific Technologies ranked the third place compared to the ninth place in the total Russian RP. Russian scientists widely use the highest quality foreign journals of the Gold OA system indexed in SCI-E, the only Russian OA journal indexed in SCI-E is “Physics of Condensed Matter” which has the highest share of all Russian publications in Gold OA journals.
There is proposed a formalization of concepts «world level of researches» and «leading scientifictechnological vectors» of global science, used in program documents, defining the directions of reforming Russian science. With the example of using bibliographic index of «normalized citation in related area» for analyzing various subject areas of Russian clinic medicine, there is shown the difference degree of correspondence to the world level of some areas of exactly the same national subject area. There is noted a necessity of developing national methodology of Russian science audit, considering its Russian language aspect, to which cannot be applied world used and recognized methods.
