Twelve Years of Access to Electronic Serials in Russia: Results and Perspectives

Abstract

We investigated collection development within the system of information support of research in Russia on the state-funded level. The analysis has been performed from the point of view of structure and research output of Russian science. We employed the method of bibliometric analysis using InCites by Clarivate Analytics. The results demonstrate that the state funded subscription provides more than 55% of total world output and meets about 70% of communication needs of Russian researchers in all ESI research areas. A strong correlation of informational support and research output is demonstrated
