This accomplishment contributes significantly to the Ural Federal University’s academic prestige

It was reported that the journal "News of the Ural Federal University. Series 2. Humanities” was included in the authoritative search platform Web of Science (Emerging Sources Citation Index). The platform combines abstract databases of patents and publications in scientific journals, including databases that take the mutual citation of publications into account.

‘This is the third journal of the Ural Federal University’s Ural Institute of Humanities, which managed to get into such a prestigious database,’ Vladimir Kruzhaev, UrFU Vice-Rector for Research, commented on the UrFU humanities scholars’ achievement. ‘The journal publishes quality articles by Russian and foreign authors, and our university will continue to support it. Such achievements make a significant contribution to the university’s academic reputation. I think now even more people from other cities and countries will choose to be published in it, and this will contribute to the growth of new scientific contacts for our scholars.’

Vladimir Kruzhaev also notes that as of today, seven UrFU journals are included in the WoS and Scopus databases. The national project "Science" considers this indicator, and the Ural Federal University is one of the leaders according to this factor.

Mind you, the “News of the Ural Federal University” journal publishes scientific articles, scientific reviews on topical issues of history and archeology, linguistics and literature, art history and history of culture. The journal provides information about scientific conferences, international contacts, new books published at Ural Federal University, anniversaries of leading scientists and pages for the UrFU lecturers’ creative writing. The editorial board of the journal consists of leading world-class experts.
