Russian universities are playing a Critical Role in Supporting Russian main political and economical goals

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev: The modernization of the Russian democracy, formation of new economy, in my view, are possible only in the case, if we make use of intellectual resources of the post-industrial society. Our goal is to establish modern education system, which fits Russia in the XXI century.“Модернизация российской демократии, формирование новой экономики, на мой взгляд, возможны только в том случае, если мы воспользуемся интел-лектуальными ресурсами пост-индустриального общества. …наша задача - создать современное образование, достойное России в ХХI веке”.

The Missing Link: Russian productivity lags across 2 key metrics:

Papers/Researcher and R&D spend per Researcher The R&D expenditure per Researcher

is lower than in other large upcomingCountries.

Per researcher, Russia produces less scientific articles (in English) than its counterparts:

20% the level of output per researcher than that of Brazil 18% that of India 32% the level of Mexico and 10% that of the UK

The Contribution from Access to Content is Relatively Undervalued in Creating Innovative Research Institutions

We can collaboratively demonstrate the added value of e-Resources to a researcher’s productivity, helping better allocate scarce

resources.
