The Expert Analytical Center has summarized the results of the study of publication activity of Russian universities in 2022

Publications in the most cited journals that are in the first quartile of citations in two major international databases (Web of Science, Scopus) are an indicator of a university's place in the world science. The Expert analytical center summarized the results of a study of the publication activity of Russian universities in 2022.  Among these publications of Russian universities, 8 percent were published by scientists and research groups working at the same university. Another 22 percent of the articles were written as part of an intra-Russian collaboration. The remaining 70 percent were published jointly with representatives of other countries.

Experts note an increase in the quality of publications. The number of the most cited Russian articles has grown significantly over the past two years. The Russian share in the top-1% of the most cited scientific publications in the world has increased by one third. This share has reached the level of countries such as Austria and Taiwan, surpassing Portugal and Norway.

"It is important for the Ural Federal University to evaluate the thematic section. It allows us to see the progress in the areas that are important for our world-class scientific educational center. Based on these priorities, we are focusing on advanced production technologies, new materials, urban ecology, chemical technologies, and energy innovations. As the rankings show, our positions are improving in all of these vectors. This means we are moving in the right direction. Our task is to bring the results of basic scientific research as close as possible to the needs of the economy," Victor Koksharov, the rector of the university, told the Expert analytical center.

On the occasion of the Russian Science Day we congratulate the Ural Federal University on this remarkable result and wish our scientists more successes and significant discoveries!
