Overview of the Webinar on Maintaining Journal on the VAK List in 2023

The mandatory requirements for publications in the journals indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus are no longer applicable until the end of 2023. It has therefore become necessary to form new requirements for members of dissertation councils, including those with PhD and doctoral degrees, as well as for applicants for academic degrees defending dissertations in the form of a research report. In 2022, journals on the VAK List (List of the Higher Attestation Commission, HAC) were ranked, with subsequent categorisation. The journals now have account pages for the purpose of optimising and simplifying their monitoring, as well as their future ranking in 2023. On 6 March, 2023, the RIEPL together with the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia and the HAC, held a webinar dedicated to filling out the account on the Russian Scientific Journals website (https://rng.riep.ru/). The webinar addressed issues of registration, technical features of the portal, the algorithm for entering data on articles, and more. More than 1,500 people tuned into the webinar broadcast.
