Note
The National System of Researchers provides for the creation of an overall ranking and a separate ranking of young researchers by scientific field. The ranking takes into account the results of researchers’ scientific and scientific-technical activities, including publications and citations, participation in grants, patents, international collaboration, training of young researchers, and other achievements. In the NSR’s open, interactive dashboard, you can search for a researcher by full name, view their position in the relevant ranking, the number of points earned, their percentage relative to the leader in that field, and their status regarding eligibility for a state scholarship. The system also allows you to filter information by institution, region, field of research, and other parameters.
