Abstract

The author assesses the state of Russian economic studies in 2016-2020, based on Web of Science Core Collection data. The dynamics of the publication productivity of Russian scientistseconomists is characterized, and a qualitative citation analysis of their works is carried out. We show that many Russian economic articles, published in the journals from WoS, are in Russian. The results of the citation analysis show that Russian-language publications are cited, on average, two times less often than the ones published in English. Consequently, they receive fewer references from the major international journals. The results of research allow forming proposals for increasing the visibility of Russian studies in the international space. One of the methods is a wider use of the bilingual publication model.
