Abstract We’ve investigated the 30-year trends in Social Sciences & Humanities (SS&H) and STEM development in Russia and global science. 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.

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. Read More Read Less

Abstract In this study, we conducted a scientometric analysis of the 100 most cited articles on biomass to gain a comprehensive understanding of the biomass research landscape. This study analysis includes an examination of annual total citations per year, top journals with high impact factors and total citations, relevant sources, author indexes, affiliations, keyword frequency, and co-authorship networks. The findings reveal... In this study, we conducted a scientometric analysis of the 100 most cited articles on biomass to gain a comprehensive understanding of the biomass research landscape. This study analysis includes an examination of annual total citations per year, top journals with high impact factors and total citations, relevant sources, author indexes, affiliations, keyword frequency, and co-authorship networks. The findings reveal trends in citation impact over time, highlighting the recognition received by articles across different years. Top journals, such as Nature and Science, are identified as influential sources in terms of impact factor and total citations. The analysis of author indexes sheds light on the productivity and impact of top authors, while relevant affiliations are identified based on the number of associated articles. Frequent keywords provide insights into key focus areas within biomass research. Co-authorship networks reveal collaborative relationships among authors, organizations, and countries. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of citation impact, source relevance, author productivity, affiliations, keyword trends, and collaboration patterns within the field of study. Researchers can utilize these insights to identify influential works, establish research collaborations, and explore emerging trends within the field of study. Read More Read Less

Abstract What happens thousands of kilometres away from us today affects our daily life and has global consequences much faster and more acutely than, for instance, 100 years ago. Ukraine and Russia have been in a military conflict since February 2014, which escalated into a full-scale Russian aggression war on February 24, 2022. In the current paper, we observe the trends in... What happens thousands of kilometres away from us today affects our daily life and has global consequences much faster and more acutely than, for instance, 100 years ago. Ukraine and Russia have been in a military conflict since February 2014, which escalated into a full-scale Russian aggression war on February 24, 2022. In the current paper, we observe the trends in how and to what extent the aspects of the Russo-Ukrainian war have reached scientific circulation. What is the circle of authors dealing with the topic, has the different geographical locations affected the focus of research, what fields of research and topics does it cover, and what is the scope of the impact of the war?
