Transformation of Scientific Publishing Culture in Russian Higher Education: Institutional Challenges and Pedagogical Strategies (Based on the Example of Russian State Medical University)

The article considers current issues of publishing activity in the scientific training system of Russia under conditions of modern challenges. The geopolitical situation has led to the restriction of participation of Russian scientists in international scientific collaborations and access to leading world publications indexed in Scopus and Web of Science. The analysis shows that while the quantitative indicators of publication activity remain important as a criterion for evaluating the effectiveness of scientific organizations, their growth does not correlate with the improvement in the quality of research. Special attention is paid to the little-known problem of publication activity of students and young researchers. There is a lack of systematic mechanisms for accounting their scientific results, underestimation of the contribution to the academic environment and lack of elaboration of methodological approaches to the analysis of their research activities. A set of measures is proposed, including improvement of the scientific management system, optimization of organizational conditions and creation of effective mechanisms to stimulate research activity at all levels of academic training.
