Abstract

This paper analyzes the impact of the ongoing war in Ukraine on the productivity and collaboration networks of Ukrainian academics. As a case study, we analyze the publication patterns in open-access MDPI journals using bibliographic analysis methods and compare the research output published in 2022 with research papers published in the three preceding years (2019–2021) with at least one author having an Ukrainian affiliation. A total of 2365 publications were analyzed. The identified publication trends provide an interesting insight into the dynamics of the research network of Ukrainian researchers, which demonstrated a decline in diversity of international collaborations in 2022. The findings of this study emphasize the necessity of international research collaboration in a variety of fields in order to mitigate the detrimental effects of national crises and emergencies.

国家危机对研究合作的影响：2019–2022年乌克兰作者的科学分析

本文分析了乌克兰持续战争对乌克兰学术界生产力和合作网络的影响。作为案例研究，我们使用书目分析方法分析了开放获取MDPI期刊的出版模式，并将2022年发表的研究成果与前三年（2019-2021）发表的至少有一位作者与乌克兰有关联的研究论文进行了比较。共分析了2365份出版物。所确定的出版趋势为乌克兰研究人员研究网络的动态提供了一个有趣的见解，这表明2022年国际合作的多样性有所下降。这项研究的结果强调了在各个领域进行国际研究合作的必要性，以减轻国家危机和紧急情况的不利影响。
