HSE Researchers Determine Which Internet Users Are More Likely to Fact-Check
Researchers at HSE University examined the strategies employed by Russian internet users to verify unreliable information and the factors that motivate them to do so. The study found that more than half of users who encounter potentially false information online attempt to verify it by locating the original source. The likelihood of fact-checking is influenced by several factors, including age, place of residence, social status, information literacy skills, and the use of AI. The findings have been published in Monitoring of Public Opinion: Economic and Social Changes.

Panova A., Matveeva N., Sterligov I., Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology 2025 Vol. 76 No. 10 P. 1292–1307
Research funding plays a crucial role in the production of knowledge, and its nature varies considerably from country to country. Numerous studies have analyzed research funding from a bibliometric perspective. However, the role of individual authors in attracting funding remains understudied, and it may be crucial for many actors. We propose a new approach that ...

Lovakov A., Chankseliani M., Anna Panova, Scientometrics 2022 Vol. 127 No. 11 P. 6293–6313

Universities played a minor role in research. Post-Soviet higher ...

Global visibility of nationally published research output: the case of the post-Soviet region
Lovakov A., Panova A., Yudkevich M. M., Scientometrics 2022 Vol. 127 No. 5 P. 2643–2659
National journals represent an important part of the landscape in almost any academic system. Their role may vary from being mere outlets for publishing country-specific studies in local languages to hosting global research. With the process of globalization in recent decades, such journals (as well as their authors) have increasingly gained opportunities to become internationally ...

Dual-track tuition fee model in Russia and post-Soviet countries

Two closely related but essentially different political projects coexist in the post-Soviet states.

This paper addresses the under-researched issue of migrant domestic work in post-Soviet space.
