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.
University College London study confirms strong correlation between e-journal usage, research output and funding
“Electronic Journals: Their use value and impact. Research Information Network Report “Electronic Journals: Their use value and impact. Research Information Network Report
“Doubling in downloads, from 1 to 2 million, is statistically associated with dramatic - but not
necessarily causal - increases in research
productivity”

contract income up 324%
Even stronger as downloads increase

Russia lags behind with SD usage and is expected to increase performance once ScienceDirect becomes widely available

TRADITIONAL APPROACH • Restrictive content selection• Journal-based classification• Science categorized into small number
of fields and subfields
OUR NEW PROPOSED APPROACH • Multidisciplinary, global content
selection• Reference-based classification• Science categorized into large
number of fields and subfields

And Make Decisions
Conclusions - access to content boosts research efficiency- most emerging countries are catching up - Russia will emerge while closing the content gap- Elsevier is open to develop a long lasting sustainable relationship - metric based performance management facilitates making better strategic decisions
