Our analysis covers interdisciplinary intersections of SS&H with other fields. We’ve evaluated Russian SS&H research impact using citation metrics via Web of Science’s Core Collection and InCites tool. Notably, STEM publications declined while SS&H grew in Russia and globally. Examining research productivity using ‘citation topics,’ we found a significant link between ‘6. Social Sciences’ and ‘1. Clinical & Life Sciences’ both in Russia and worldwide for the period 2018-2022. Our data highlights a significant similarity within the top 15 topics between Russia and the global scientific community in this specific area. The citation indicators for the three selected Scientific Categories (‘Economics and Business,’ ‘Psychology/Psychology,’ and ‘Social Sciences, Multi-disciplinary’) linked with SS&H in InCites highlight a notably high value for the period 2018-2022. These values reflect the high quality of performance by Russian scholars. Over the past decade in Russia, there has been a noticeable decline in the prevalence of single authorship across all studied scientific disciplines, with varying rates of change. In the three studied fields, teams of 2 to 5 members were common. Notably, in ‘Economics’, 84.5% of teams fell within this range, indicating that 74% of international collaborative publications in ‘Economics’ involve teams of 2-5 individuals. Our data presents valuable insights into the landscape of Russian scientific research in Social Science & Humanities over a thirty-year period. These findings could curry significance for science policy specialists and the broader scientific community.
