Prospects for the creating of the image of a highly rated Russian language economic journal

The article is devoted to the topical issue of the prestige Russian economic scientific journal’s Future. The problems of publishing the scientific research’s results by Russian economists in prestige citing scientific journals are identified. The former official vector to index domestic economic scientific journals in Abstract and Citation Databases (Scopus, Web of Science) without a guaranteed state financial support for the original (in Russian) and translated versions of the journal is criticized. The data on the leading Russian economic scientific journals are compared at the intersection of two lists of scientific journals of the Russian Higher Attestation Commission (main and additional /Abstract and Citation Databases), a list of new scientific specialties of the Russian Higher Attestation Commission, two topics of the NEB elibrary “Economics. Economic Sciences” and “Organization and Management”, as well as the QS subject ranking “Social Sciences & Management”. It is concluded that the model of the Russian economic scientific journal, which is adequate to the current moment, under the conditions of Western sanctions, is not implemented at all. This model involves the publication in the original version in Russian with a translated version, and provides access to them for Russian researchers on unlimited publication topics and for publishing the results of dissertations for the degrees of Candidate of Science, Doctor of Science. The measures of the protectionist policy to keep domestic economic journals with founders-universities are substantiated.
