The Russian University Excellence Initiative (Project 5−100) was initiated by the Government in 2013 to strengthen the positions of leading Russian universities at the global academic market (passive into active). We estimate the effect of this project on university publication activity with a special focus on the changes in the research output structure expressed in changes of quality and collaboration patterns. To do so, we use an econometric analysis of longitudinal data applying a linear growth model with mixed effects, with different characteristics of the research output as dependent variables. The dynamics of research collaborations were examined through university affiliations. We demonstrate that there is a significant positive effect of Project 5−100 on quantitative university research performance. That is, participating universities demonstrate a substantial, steady increase in publications measured in total numbers and per capita. We also show that the project has had a positive effect on publications in highest and lowest quality journals as well as on multi-authored publications. Participating universities have increased the number of publications (especially in high-quality journals) written in co-authorship with other organizations.

俄罗斯大学卓越计划对出版物和合作模式的影响
政府于2013年发起了“俄罗斯大学卓越计划”(项目5-100),以加强领先的俄罗斯大学在全球学术市场中的地位(被动到主动)。我们估计该项目对大学出版活动的影响,并特别关注以质量和协作模式的变化表示的研究产出结构的变化。为此,我们使用纵向数据的计量经济学分析,该模型使用具有混合效应的线性增长模型,研究输出的不同特征作为因变量。通过大学隶属关系研究了研究合作的动态。我们证明了项目5-100对定量大学研究绩效有显着的积极影响。那是,参与计划的大学展示的出版物总数和人均数量均出现了稳定的增长。我们还表明,该项目对最高质量和最低质量的期刊以及多作者出版物产生了积极影响。参与计划的大学增加了与其他组织合着的出版物(特别是高质量期刊)的数量。
