‘Science Is Universal-It Knows No Borders
Fuad Aleskerov, Tenured Professor and Director of the International Centre of Decision Choice and Analysis at HSE University, together with his colleagues, has developed methods of network analysis in bibliometrics that have made it possible to identify patterns in the appearance and citation of publications in academic journals, as well as their influence on each other. When one or a number of studies are frequently cited by a wide range of journals, this is an indicator that the research is of high quality. By contrast, extensive cross-citation within a limited group of journals increases the likelihood of identifying a network of predatory publications.

Varieties of Alaskan Russian: The diachrony of language contact

.
Bergelson M., Kibrik A., Raskladkina M.
In press

Alaskan Russian is a language that emerged in the 18th century as a result of Russian colonial presence in Alaska, was used for everyday communication in Russian America and is still remembered by several elderly persons.  During the Russian America time, Alaskan Russian (termed as such in Krauss 1996) became the native (=first) language for the people of mixed Russian/Native origin (Creoles) residing in various parts of Alaska.  Later, some varieties of Alaskan Russian (AR) kept developing on their own, and served as means of communication, creating and maintaining cultural identity of local communities long after the end of the official “Russian period” in 1867. As a result, AR represents a specific variety of the Russian language.
