Introduction.To explore and identify further prospects for scientificcooperation with the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean states, whichhave long-standing cultural and historical ties with Russia, the authorshave analysed the publishing and patenting activities of certain countries. The article lists scientific, technological, and humanitarian studiesand identifies popular areas of cooperation with Russian institutions.Methods.When forming the array of data, we used Russian information sources, the international system Web of Science, the patent database Questel Orbit and data from the World Intellectual PropertyOrganisation. Based on the applied general scientific methods such asmeasurement, description of knowledge objects and items (qualitativeand quantitative), analysis, synthesis and scientific generalisation, wehave identified the leading and applicant countries in terms of patenting activity.Results and Discussion.We analysed the total numberof publications and their structure by quartile for the Middle Easternstates. The patenting activity analysis for the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean countries looked at the patents issued and applications (byWIPO technological areas) for inventions submitted in the countries'patent offices in 2010–2020 as well as at the applicants' countries oforigin.Conclusion.We have identified foreign scientific, educationaland other organisations and business sector institutions in certain Middle Eastern and Mediterranean states that may be considered potentialpartners of Russian institutions. |
