The study task is to develop and substantiate the methodological approach toward assessing publication activities of Russian researchers in the RF regions based on Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus. The fundamental distinction of the proposed method from the existing ones is that it enables to eliminate over-estimation and under-estimation of publication activity figures. Besides, it enables to analyze all the regions at once rather than individual districts or territories. The study sustains inconsistency of the sci-tech landscape in different federal okrugs (regions) and, for several of them, lacking the correlation between the research results and available resources in the regions. The study findings would enable the government authorities to make administrative decisions at the federal and municipal levels. The study was accomplished out of the funds of the State Order of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation “Organizational, technological, research and methodological support and promotion of national journals to the international science citation databases; information and analytical support of the publicly funded subscription to international information resources in science for research and educational organizations”.
