Университеты играют значительную роль в региональной экономике, поскольку они предоставляют образовательные услуги и принимают участие в научно-исследовательской работе. Это особенно важно для России, где регионы существенно различаются с точки зрения как социально-экономического, так и технического и инновационного развития. Традиционно сложилось, что многие региональные университеты в России занимаются только преподаванием, не уделяя должного внимания исследовательской деятельности. Данная статья анализирует влияние научной деятельности университетов на экономическое и инновационное развитие регионов. Для достижения этой цели была проведена оценка различных спецификаций модели с фиксированными эффектами на основании панельных данных по регионам России за 2010-2016 гг. Для анализа региональной научной деятельности в модель был включен показатель количества публикаций университетов на одного исследователя на субнациональном уровне. Анализ важных социально-экономических характеристик регионов позволил выявить, что связь между публикационной активностью университетов и инновационным развитием региона остается значимой, в то время как взаимосвязь между экономическим развитием региона и научной активностью университетов полностью исчезла. Проверка правильности расчетов продемонстрировала, что результаты статистически значимы только тогда, когда в качестве объясняющей переменной выступает относительное количество публикаций, проиндексированных в международных системах цитирования (Scopus и Web of Science). При этом публикации, проиндексированные в российских списках источников и базах данных, а также публикации в региональных научных организациях, не являющихся университетами, не способствуют инновационному развитию региона. Результаты исследования могут быть применены для планирования финансирования исследовательской деятельности в университетах и формирования целевых показателей для университетов., Universities play a crucial role in local economies, providing educational services and participating in research and development. This is particularly important for Russia where regions are highly differentiated in terms of both socio-economic development and technological progress and innovations. However, many regional universities in Russia have traditionally focused primarily on teaching, with less emphasis on research activities. In this paper, we aim to deepen the understanding of the impact of scientific activities of universities on regional economic and innovative development. For this purpose, we estimate different specifications of a fixed-effects model using panel data from Russian regions for 2010-2016. We aggregate the number of universities’ publications per researcher at the sub-national level to incorporate regional scientific activity in our model. Considering other important socio-economic characteristics of regions, we revealed that the association between the publication activity of universities and innovative development of the region remains significant, while the relationship between economic development of the region and the scientific activity of universities disappeared completely. A number of robustness checks demonstrated that statistically significant results remain only when the relative number of publications indexed in international citation databases (Scopus and Web of Science) is used as an explanatory variable. Simultaneously, the publications indexed in specific Russian lists and databases as well as publications in regional scientific organisations that are not universities do not contribute to innovative development of the region. The results can be used for planning the funding of research activities in universities and setting performance targets for universities.

In the Ukrainian education and science systems globalization and European integration processes have raised the issue of visibility for Ukrainian scientists. Having the articles in Scopus and Web of Science indexed journals is becoming of particular significance for scientists' authority rise and universities` prestige. Despite the appropriate state of the educational policy, the publishing activity of the majority of Ukrainian Higher Education Institutions’ academic staff still remains insufficient, and to date, a very few empirical research has been carried out to determine reasons for that. The aim of this study was therefore, to investigate how such factors as corporate culture of Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University, academic career, research and language skills, personal development, financial support etc. contribute to and prevent successful publication activity of University`s academic staff. Two groups of academicians were interviewed. The results showed that it is necessary to create the conditions for the research culture development, develop the research competence, provide systemic monitoring of publication activity, and improve the mechanisms of financial rewards.

В данной исследовательской статье оценивается воздействие государственной программы повышения конкурентоспособности российских университетов (Проект «5-100») на публикационную активность Тюменского государственного университета. Публикационная активность измеряется количеством статей, опубликованных в журналах, индексируемых базой данных Web of Science. Гипотеза исследования заключалась в том, что между количеством опубликованных сотрудниками ТюмГУ статей и участием вуза в Проекте «5-100» наблюдается положительная причинно-следственная связь. Поскольку в рамках проведенного исследования ТюмГУ являлся единственным университетом – участником Проекта «5-100», влияние последнего на публикационную активность данного вуза оценивалось экспериментальным путем: ТюмГУ выступал объектом воздействия, а группа других вузов использовалась в качестве контрольной. В контрольную группу были включены классические высшие учебные заведения России (всего 31 вуз). Используя контрфактические сценарии, автор устанавливает количество статей, которые сотрудники ТюмГУ опубликовали бы, не войди он в Проект «5-100». Полученные результаты показали, что несмотря на невыполнение Тюменским государственным университетом задачи вхождения в 200 лучших университетов мира по предметному рейтингу на стыке экологии и сельскохозяйственной биологии, участие данного вуза в Проекте «5-100» оказывает благотворное воздействие на публикационную активность этой образовательной организации: количество опубликованных статей, особенно в журналах первого и второго квартиля, в ТюмГУ растет быстрее, чем в контрольной группе вузов., The aim of the study is to estimate the effect of the Russian academic excellence project (Project 5-100) on the publication activity of the University of Tyumen, measured by the number of articles published in journals indexed in the Web of Science database. The hypothesis of the research is that there is a positive causal relationship between the number of published articles and the University’s participation in Project 5-100. This impact was estimated empirically for the University of Tyumen while the other university participants (31 universities) were taken as a control group. Counterfactual scenarios are used to find the number of articles that the university employees would have published in the absence of Project 5-100. Thus, it is shown that, despite the failure to meet the goal of entering the top 200 of world universities in the ranking for ecology and agricultural biology, the University of Tyumen benefited from its participation in Project 5-100: its number of publications, especially in journals of the first and second quartile, has been growing faster than in the control group of universities.

The materials presented in the article do not only reflect the scientific contri-bution of the leading specialists but also show methodological and paradigmatic tendencies of development of the Russian science on the whole. Specifically, it has been found that the scholarly rating scores of the psychologists, as a rule, are higher than those of the pedagogues. It is also interesting that the high publishing activity and citation are typical of the scholars working in the sphere of special psychology and pedagogy. Science-metrical ratings may be calculated not only for concrete scholars but for research teams or scientific institutions as well. Thus, the materials under consideration show that the absolute majority of the specialists with a high h-index work at academic institutes and leading metropolitan universities (Insti-tute of Psychology of the Russian Acad-emy of Sciences, Russian Academy of Education., В статье представлены материалы библиометрического анализа публикационной активности и цитируемости современных педагогов и психологов, основанные на данных Российского индекса научного цитирования (РИНЦ).

The research article analyzes the gradual achievement of target scientific activity indicators by members of dissertation councils and by the organizations wherein dissertation councils are based. The purpose of the article is to analyse the compliance of dissertation councils with the criterion requirements imposed by the Higher Attestation Commission under the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia both to the indicators of members of dissertation councils’ scientific and publishing activities effectiveness and to the indicators of universities and scientific organizations which are the basis for dissertation councils’ work. To achieve this goal, there were analysed performance indicators obtained within monitoring the dissertation councils’ network activities during 2015–2018. The target performance indicators of the state system of scientific certification were determined by the Roadmap Plan approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia on 23rd August 2016. The results of the analysis showed that the 4-year period of the «roadmap» measures implementation had seen a steady tendency to improving the indicators of the members of dissertation councils’ publication activity compliance with the criteria of the Higher Attestation Commission. However, the overall level of the entire network of councils’ compliance with these criteria in 2018 reached only 82.7 %, and the demanded 90 % benchmark was not achieved. As a result, the analysis showed that administrative measures aimed at achieving the benchmark are not enough, and it is necessary to amend the regulatory framework governing the activities of the state certification system. When preparing proposals for changing the regulatory framework, it is necessary to study the experience of the work of the dissertation councils created on the basis of the organizations, which have received the right to independently award academic degrees. The presented analysis of the indicators of the members of dissert, Статья является исследовательской, в ней представлен анализ поэтапного достижения целевых индикаторов результативности научной деятельности членов диссертационных советов (ЧДС) и организаций, на базе которых действуют диссертационные советы (ДС). Целью статьи является анализ соответствия ДС критериальным требованиям, предъявляемым ВАК при Министерстве науки и высшего образования Российской Федерации (Минобрнауки России) как к показателям результативности научной и публикационной деятельности ЧДС, так и к показателям университетов и научных организаций, на базе которых действуют ДС. Для достижения поставленной цели был проведен анализ показателей результативности, полученных в ходе мониторинга деятельности сети ДС за 2015–2018 гг. Целевые индикаторы результативности государственной системы научной аттестации были определены Планом мероприятий (дорожная карта), утвержденным Минобрнауки России 23 августа 2016 г. Результаты анализа показали, что за четырехлетний период реализации мероприятий дорожной карты наблюдается устойчивая тенденция к улучшению показателей соответствия публикационной активности ЧДС критериальным требованиям ВАК. Однако общий уровень соответствия ЧДС всей сети советов в 2018 г. составил 82,7 % и контрольный показатель в 90 % достигнут не был. Как следствие, проведенный анализ показал, что одних административных мер, направленных на достижение контрольного показателя, недостаточно. Необходимо внесение изменений в нормативную базу, регулирующую деятельность системы государственной аттестации. При подготовке предложений по изменению нормативной базы необходимо исследовать опыт деятельности ДС, создаваемых на базе организаций, получивших право самостоятельного присуждения ученых степеней. Представленный анализ показателей соответствия публикационной активности ЧДС критериальным требованиям, представленным в дорожной карте, является базовым ориентиром практики университетского менеджмента при формировании состава ДС.

The purpose of this study was to compare the results of the research work of specialized medical research centers and medical universities in Russia by evaluating the number of significant scientific products. The study included 20 largest medical universities in Russia according to the number of scientific and pedagogical staff and 22 scientific medical research centers (SMRC), formed by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. The largest medical universities and SMRC were ranked according to a number of bibliometric indicators (the number of publications, citations and Hirsch index values according to Scopus, Web of Science and the Scientific Electronic Library), with further comparison of the data obtained. Within the study, which included the indicators of all SMRC approved by the Ministry of Health, there was found out a correlation between the Hirsch RISC index and Scopus (Pearson Ratio 0.589 with p < 0.01). Our previous research led to the conclusion on the absence of such correlation for medical universities in Russia. There were also compared certain scientometric indicators of SMRC and medical universities in Russia. The results of the analysis show that both universities and SMRC produce a comparable amount of scientific products included into Scopus database. Despite the fact that the SMRC were financed to conduct scientific research and thus to make leaders of scientific directions, the universities’ scientific products, though insignificantly, exceed those of the SMRC in yield and demand., Целью данного исследования стало сравнение результативности научно-исследовательской работы узкопрофильных научно-медицинских исследовательских центров и медицинских вузов России путем изучения количества произведенной значимой научной продукции. В исследование были включены 20 крупнейших по числу научно-педагогических сотрудников (НПР) медицинских вузов России и 22 научных медицинских исследовательских центра (НМИЦ), сформированных соответствующим приказом Минздрава России. Было проведено ранжирование крупнейших медицинских вузов и НМИЦ по ряду библиометрических показателей (количеству публикаций, цитирований, значению индекса Хирша по данным баз Scopus, Web of Science и Научной электронной библиотеки) и проведена сравнительная оценка полученных данных. При проведении исследования с включением в расчет показателей всех НМИЦ, утвержденных приказом Минздрава России, была установлена корреляция между индексом Хирша РИНЦ и Scopus (коэфф. Пирсона 0,589 при p<0,01). Ранее нами было установлено отсутствие такой корреляции у медицинских вузов России. Был также проведен сравнительный анализ некоторых наукометрических показателей НМИЦ и медицинских вузов России, на основании которого можно сделать вывод о том, что и вузы, и НМИЦ производят сопоставимое количество цитируемой в базе Scopus научной продукции. Таким образом, несмотря на декларированную задачу формирования лидеров научных направлений, на базе сформированных НМИЦ, для которых были выделены и направлены финансовые средства на проведение научных исследований, объемы производимой и востребованной научной продукции вузами, хоть и несущественно, но превышают таковые в НМИЦ.

Studies have continuously shown that fewer women than men achieve leadership positions in academic medicine. In the current study we explored gender differences in clinical position among academic physicians at three university hospitals, each in a different European country. These countries, Sweden, the Netherlands and Austria, differ in terms of gender equality. We analyzed whether the number of children, working hours or publications could explain gender differences in physicians' clinical position. In this cross-sectional questionnaire study 1333 (54% female) physicians participated. Physicians were asked about their gender, age, number of children, working hours and clinical position. We used structural equation models to explore the influence of gender on the physicians' clinical position in each of the three countries. We explored whether the association between gender and clinical position could be explained by number of children, working hours or publication activity. The analyses revealed that at all three university hospitals gender influenced clinical position. These gender differences in clinical position could be partly explained by gender differences in publication activity. Female physicians as compared to male physicians were likely to publish fewer articles, and in turn these lower publication numbers were associated with lower clinical positions. The number of children or working hours did not explain gender differences in publication activity or clinical position. Therefore, factors other than unequal allocation of household labor, such as the academic working environment, may still disproportionately disadvantage women's progress, even at universities in countries with high rates of gender equality such as Sweden.

Целью настоящего исследования является сравнение наукометрических показателей, полученных из разных баз данных, и изучение возможности их применения для оценки результативности научной деятельности крупнейших медицинских вузов России. Были проанализированы сведения о публикациях сотрудников 20 крупнейших медицинских вузов Российской Федерации за пять лет: количество статей, количество цитирований статей, индекс Хирша вуза. Источниками стали база данных Российского индекса научного цитирования (РИНЦ) (отдельно учитывались публикации в журналах, входящих в ядро РИНЦ), база данных Scopus и база данных Web of Science (WоS). На основании полученных данных было проведено ранжирование организаций по ряду наукометрических показателей, с помощью коэффициентов ранговой корреляции была установлена связь между различными показателями. Была выявлена корреляция между различными показателями публикационной активности в базах WoS и Scopus. Не выявлено значимой корреляции данных, полученных при анализе цитируемости публикаций в ядре РИНЦ, с данными, полученными при анализе цитируемости в международных базах WoS и Scopus. Корреляции с показателями в других базах и ядром РИНЦ также выявлено не было. Исследование было ограничено только медицинскими вузами России, результаты не могут быть использованы для сравнения показателей в других областях наук. Для анализа публикационной активности медицинских вузов возможно применение баз данных (БД) Scopus, WoS. Показатели, рассчитанные на основе цитируемости журналов, входящих как в РИНЦ, так и отдельно в ядро РИНЦ, не могут быть применены для характеристики интенсивности научных исследований на международном уровне. Следует с осторожностью использовать показатели, полученные на основе данных РИНЦ, в сочетании с показателями, полученными из БД Scopus и WoS. Вызывает также сомнение объективность рейтинга медицинских университетов, в основе которого лежит использование данных из РИНЦ. Впервые методом статистического анализа были установлены связи, The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of scientific activities of the largest medical universities in Russia on the basis of data from foreign and domestic scientific resources, and to establish the degree of correlation between the data presented in various citation indexes. The information on publications of employees of the 20 largest medical universities of the Russian Federation for last five years was analyzed: the number of articles, the number of citations of articles and University Hirsch index. The sources were the database of the Russian Scientific Citation Index (RINC) (the publications in the journals included in the core of the RINC were taken into account separately), the Scopus database and the Web Of Science database (WoS). On the basis of the data obtained, the organizations were ranked according to several scientific indicators and correlation between various indicators was established using the coefficients of rank correlation. Correlation was revealed between different indicators of publication activity in the WoS and Scopus databases. There was no significant correlation between the data obtained in the analysis of citations in the core of the RINC with the data obtained from the analysis of citations in the international databases WoS and Scopus. Correlations with the indexes in other databases and the core of the RINC were also not revealed. The study was limited only to medical universities of the Russian Federation and the results cannot be used to compare indicators in other fields of science. To analyze the publication activity of medical universities, the use of databases (DB) Scopus, WoS is possible. The indexes calculated on the basis of the citation of journals included in both the RINC and separately into the core of the RINC cannot be applied to characterize the intensity of scientific research at the international level. Carefully use indicators derived from RINC data in combination with indicators obtained from

The article looks into the interdependence between material stimulation and publishing activities of academic staff at the medical educational institution. The authors analyzed the data on academic publications by research staff of the medical university for three years. In order to evaluate the scope of the academic product original method was developed for indicator normalization depending on the type of academic product and its quality considering impact-factor and publishing house presenting the result of the research. Direct dependence between the quantity of prepared academic products and the salary size at the department. The research also found no connection between “salary” component in the unit of academic product and the size of salary at the department. Therefore one can make a conclusion on insufficiency of purely material stimulation of publishing activities and the need for identifying other factors influencing the development of academic products by researchers. Article materials can serve as the basis for creating methods of evaluating publishing activities of university academic and teaching staff., В статье исследуется зависимость материального стимулирования и публикационной активности научных сотрудников медицинского университета. Были проанализированы данные о научных публикациях сотрудников научно-исследовательских подразделений медицинского университета за трехлетний период. Объем подготовленной научной продукции оценивался путем нормализации показателей по виду и качеству научной продукции. Была установлена прямая зависимость количества, подготовленной научной продукции и размера фонда оплаты труда в подразделении. В тоже время было показано отсутствие связи между «зарплатной» составляющей в единице научной продукции и размером фонда оплаты труда в подразделении. Таким образом, можно сделать вывод о недостаточности исключительно материального стимулирования публикационной активности и о необходимости поиска иных факторов, влияющих на разработку научной продукции исследователями. Материалы статьи могут служить базой для создания методики оценки публикационной активности научно-педагогических работников высшей школы.
