Abstract
The “Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases” journal is indexed in a variety of scholarly databases, including the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI), and is also included in the “LIST of peer-reviewed scientific journal in which the main results of dissertations should be published for the degree of Candidate of Science, for the degree of Doctor of Science” recommended by Higher Attestation Commission of Russian Federation (the List of VAK). At the same time, the List of VAK is structured by branches of science, scientific areas and scientific specialties, while RSCI is not. Since 2021, the indexing of a journal in the RSCI database has been equated in its value to indexing in the Web of Science Core Collection and/or in Scopus, as a criterion for the quality of a journals to be choose by an author for publishing the results of dissertation research. Thus, when preparing a dissertation work in Russian Federation, the list of publications can include those of the applicant’s works that are published in scientific journals from the List of VAK in the relevant specialty, or in scientific journals indexed in RSCI, Web of Science and/or in Scopus (regardless of whether in what scientific specialty and relevant areas of science these journals are included in the List of VAK, and whether they are included at all). Taking this into account, the editors and the publisher continue to publish articles on epidemiology (VAK spatiality code 3.2.2), infectious diseases (3.1.22), virology (1.5.10), medical microbiology (1.5.11) and parasitology (1.5.17) in the ‘Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases’ journal.
