Abstract

Using the EconLit database, the purpose of this paper is to position the place of economics in Ukraine and its scholarly visibility at the international level. The analysis covers the affiliation of contributing authors, the gender composition, the patterns of collaboration between Ukrainian and foreign economists and a review of the different thematic treated in the articles. Results show that Ukrainian authors have a general profile of co-authorship similar to western practices, a significant proportion of publications from governmental circles, a low female representation and a small number of Ukrainian authors having published in journals also included in the S.S.C.I. database.
