RUSSIAN LEGAL RANKINGS AND INDEXES There is no legal rankings and indexes in Russia

CHALLENGES OF THE RUSSIAN LEGAL ACADEMIA Internationalization of the legal education and academia Isolated nature of the Russian jurisprudence Language (English is the modern lingua franca)

RUSSIAN LEGAL ACADEMIC PERIODICALS There are three types of legal academic periodicals: University law journals Specialised journals (specific branches) General Legal periodicals

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES Closed nature Publishing only University authors National law as a subject of research Low editorial standards and ethics Lack of professional reviewing Poor quality of works in 80% of periodicals Limited use of modern publishing standards Limited availability on key international aggregators Inaccessible for the foreign audience
