Integration of science and education in the mirror of scientific publications

Abstract

We analyzed the dynamics of research publications of academic institutions, universities and joint publications for the period of existence of government programs aimed at the integration of science and education, to the present. The interaction with universities is much more important factor for academic institutions, at least in St. Petersburg than for universities interaction with academic institutions. An analysis of the international co-authorship on the example of St.Petersburg showed that for academic articles level of international cooperation is practically independent of whether any publication are written in collaboration with universities . At the same time the number of university papers with international cooperation strongly depends upon participation of research institutions. Thus, we can conclude that universities actively use existing international collaboration of academic institutions to increase their own international cooperation. Collaboration between universities and research institutes of the state academies of sciences and major industry institutions contributes both increase the quantity and improve the quality of research articles.
