Sources were the Science Citation Index-Expanded for 2007-2011 and the Journal Citation Reports, 2010. More than 141,600 records and their citation scores were analyzed by broad subject categories, organizations, source of publications and share of internationally collaborative papers. Despite huge financial inflow in HES in the last seven year, RAS performance is still much stronger. The RAS is responsible for 56.3% of the research output, the HES for 42.6%. Research portfolio is focused on “hard sciences”. A significant involvement of RAS in collaboration with HES was observed. Its share of collaborative papers with HES increased from 26.6% in 2007 up to 33.8% in 2011. Federal Universities and National Research demonstrate more strong collaboration with the RAS....
