Abstract: Our study aimed to explore authorship patterns in the Russian research community and trace changes in gender imbalance based on publications indexed by the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) from 2008 to 2020.We analyzed over 480,000 records of Russian publications indexed in the SCI-E from 2008 to 2020, collecting data on 418,774 unique Russian authors and 461,226 foreign authors during this period.The total number of unique authors (Russian and foreign) nearly doubled between 2008 and 2017, but this growth was followed by a significant 24% decline from 2018 to 2020.The overall trend in authorships remained positive, with a remarkable threefold increase since 2016, surpassing 1.1 million.Our analysis revealed a significant gender disparity in the total RP, with males accounting for approximately 65% and females 35% throughout the studied period.Considerable gender inequality was observed across research areas.Our findings indicated that there are national barriers to female equity in various research areas.These data could be useful for research policymakers to stimulate efforts to achieve greater parity.
