Abstract

Formation of a new economy is directly linked to the creation and use of scientific knowledge. Such knowledge represents an inexhaustible economic resource, a driver of economic growth, and the foundation of the economy of knowledge. Scientific knowledge is first of all generated by the research institutes and universities of the leading economies. Russia is a great global scientific power, which has significantly contributed to the world civilization by enriching it with unique discoveries. The current role of the na-tional science in the global scientific development can be determined by analyzing a number of citation indices. The authors hereof have analyzed the contribution of Russian scientists to the global science against the global scientific output. Data was sources from the statistics of Web of Science, an international citation database. The paper evaluates Russia’s publication indi-cators against those of the leading countries for 2010 to 2017. The publication activity of Russian scientists is analyzed with break-down by research fields, which allows us to find where Russian research is specialized. We have identified a positive trend in the knowledge growth and contribution of the Russian science to the international scientific dialog. The results of this study can be used for evaluating the developmental trends in various research fields, assessing the performance of research institutions, making general assessments of the country’s and its regions’ scientific potential; or they can be efficiently used to study the communication in pro-fessional communities, identifying the best-performing scientists in various fields, etc.
