The RSCI database is a Russian project based on RSCI public platform material. RSCI is integrated with the international Web of Science (WoS) citation database, so publications included in RSCI are automatically included in WoS. In 2018 RSCI recognized 773 Russian scientific journals in all RSCI subject areas (overall, there are about 5,000 journals). The integration of RSCI with the WoS search platform significantly increases the availability of information about our publications in the international scientific arena, significantly influences their authority and, therefore, greatly increases the likelihood of citation. Thousands of WoS platform users worldwide receive direct access to descriptions of Russian publications. Russian scientific research is displayed in the system along with publications from other countries.
According to the latest monitoring results, the Working Group on quality assessment and selection of journals for RSCI decided to include the “NSU Bulletin Series: History, Philology”. The Bulletin’s publishing team includes Vyacheslav Molodin, President of the Series Board Council, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Professor of Archeology and Ethnography at the Humanities Institute, Andrei Zuev, Editor-in-Chief of the Series, Doctor of Historical Sciences, and Director of the Humanities Institute, and Sergey Skobelev, Executive Secretary of the Series, Head of the NSU Laboratory for Humanities Studies, and Candidate of Historical Sciences.
Skobelev described what being included in the database provides,
The inclusion of the "NSU Bulletin" in this database gives the University additional points in the University rankings increasing the number of publications in the Web of Science database that also helps rankings. It also provides more favorable conditions for getting the Journal in the Scopus database and helps NSU grant applications that require publication in these databases.
The “NSU Bulletin Series: Linguistics and Intercultural Communication” was previously included on the RSCI list.
