“…A three country and three field study conducted by Hottenrott and Lawson (2017) provides some first evidence on the extent and structure of multiple affiliations, showing an increase in the three countries and scientific fields under study. Matveeva and Ferligoj (2020) reported an increase also for Russia. In this article, we expand on this prior research.…”

“…Universities in an attempt to upgrade quickly, may buy in external talent instead of building up capacity locally or restructure their activities. In Russia, for instance, a performance effect from ExIns was quickly observed, as was an increase in multiple affiliations (Matveeva & Ferligoj, 2020), suggesting that universities hired external talent. Such co-affiliations were potentially aimed at a quick increase in rankings based on bibliometric data.…”

This study provides the first systematic, international, large-scale evidence on the extent and nature of multiple institutional affiliations on journal publications.Studying more than 15 million authors and 22 million articles from 40 countries we document that: In 2019, almost one in three articles was (co-)authored by authors with multiple affiliations and the share of authors with multiple affiliations increased from around 10% to 16% since 1996. The growth of multiple affiliations is prevalent in all fields and it is stronger in high impact journals. About 60% of multiple affiliations are between institutions from within the academic sector.International co-affiliations, which account for about a quarter of multiple affiliations, most often involve institutions from the United States, China, Germany and the United Kingdom, suggesting a core-periphery network. Network analysis also reveals a number communities of countries that are more likely to share affiliations. We discuss potential causes and show that the timing of the rise in multiple affiliations can be linked to the introduction of more competitive funding structures such as "excellence initiatives" in a number of countries. We discuss implications for science and science policy.

“…Вместе с тем в России существует более широкий спектр журналов, который аффилирован с университетами, получающими/получавшими ту или иную государственную поддержку и выделенными в группу ведущих университетов Российской Федерации, что также может способствовать более эффективному их продвижению в МНБД. Помимо этого, предполагалось проанализировать журналы зарубежных университетов, являющихся участниками ИАП в своей стране, в первую очередь с точки зрения оценки существования корреляции между участием университета в ИАП и его наукометрическими показателями, прежде всего качественными, в сравнении 2 Под ведущими университетами Российской Федерации в исследовании понимаются университеты, имеющие право самостоятельно разрабатывать образовательные стандарты по всем уровням высшего образования в соответствии со ст. 11, п.…”

Исследователи рассматривают разные модели сотрудничества между высшими учебными заведениями, а также сравнивают их с вариантами сотрудничества университетов, не участвующими в Проекте 5-100 [2], выявляют стратегии университетов Проекта 5-100 по увеличению количества публикаций в журналах, индексируемых в МНБД [3][4][5][6][7].…”

The article is the result of the second stage of the study devoted to the analysis of the relationship between state support for universities within the framework of Project 5-100 and the effectiveness of promoting scientific journals affiliated with this group of universities, including through international scientometric databases. As part of the presented study, a comparative analysis of the indicators of the journals of universities participating in Project 5-100 and journals affiliated with universities supported by the academic excellence initiatives of Germany, China and Japan, as well as with leading universities in the United Kingdom and the USA, was carried out. In the course of the study, the factors that influence the increase in the visibility of journals for the scientific community and the quality of journals were identified. One of the results of the study is confirmation that the universities of Project 5-100 pay more attention to promoting their affiliated journals in the scientific and educational community, including through indexing in international scientometric databases, than foreign universities, which are also supported within the framework of some national excellence initiatives. The Scopus data show that an increase in the effectiveness of promoting the journals of universities that are supported within the framework of initiatives of academic excellence in international databases is not typical / characteristic to a much lesser extent for journals of universities that are participants in the corresponding initiatives of Germany, China and Japan. It is concluded that the results achieved by the universities participating in Project 5-100 are largely due to government support and inclusion in the Project as a mandatory event to promote journals in international scientometric databases.

“…A sample of 30 Russian universities, including participants in Project 5-100 and a control group of institutions with similar characteristics, was used. After joining the project, the participating universities increased both their cooperation with each other as well as with foreign universities and 2675-5459 research institutions of the Russian Academy of Sciences, especially in the high-quality segment (Matveeva & Ferligoj, 2020).…”

Methodology, in this research, 41 documents have been selected, carried out in the period 2016 - 2021; including: scientific articles, review articles and information from websites of recognized organizations. The keywords used in the searches were: Russian universities and COVID-19. Results, it was observed the equivalents of the Russian and the United States scale, the documents required at each educational level and the levels of the Russian educational system; the reforms of higher education in Russia were observed, in the period 1991 - 2015, with which it was sought to improve and modernize it.

Conclusions, for Russian universities, the number of international students is a great indicator of internationalization. Russian universities need to improve their collaboration with industry. Universities closed in March of 2020, during the pandemic. An important number of universities have provided jobs for students who need help. The most important institution is Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU). Russian universities are gradually achieving a better position in the world rankings, for this it is important to continue with their process of internationalization and investment in infrastructure.
