Abstract:This study examines the role of foreign co-affiliations in shaping the research performance of Ukrainian universities and research institutes of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU) before and during Russias full-scale invasion. In 2023, the share of articles with foreign co-affiliations was higher for NASU (17.1 percent) than for universities (10.6 percent), reflecting NASUs research-oriented profile and strong focus on physical sciences & engineering. In 2022 and 2023, this share increased across all disciplines in both types of institutions. The largest shares of articles with foreign co-affiliations involved institutions in advanced science systems such as Germany and China, as well as neighboring Poland, Czechia, and Slovakia.
Articles with foreign co-affiliations showed citation impact comparable to internationally co-authored articles and substantially outperformed purely domestic this http URL the one hand, articles with foreign co-affiliations ensure research continuity and enhance the citation visibility of a resource-constrained and war-affected national science system. On the other hand, they distort the measurement of the national and institutional research performance, thereby hindering reform of the national science system. Reliance solely on international links cannot substitute for a strong domestic base. Evaluation frameworks in Ukraine and other countries could be improved through a two-level differentiation, distinguishing first between types of authorship and second among types of foreign co-affiliations, taking into account their duration and the extent of the affiliated scholars' actual contributions.
Although this lies beyond the primary scope of the present study, the findings highlight that the institutional divide between NASU and universities in Ukraine is not justified by research performance.
