Ukrainian higher education institutions and scientific establishments will continue to enjoy free access to key international scientometric and full-text resources Scopus and WoS in 2026, according to the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.

“Clarivate has confirmed uninterrupted access for Ukrainian institutions to Web of Science, InCites, and Derwent Innovation resources until December 31, 2026. The decision is aimed at supporting the Ukrainian scientific community and ensuring stable access to reliable scientific information in the context of the war,” the statement said.

It is noted that Elsevier has also confirmed the continuation of access for Ukrainian educational and scientific institutions to its scientific electronic resources, in particular Scopus and SciVal, in 2026, which will allow researchers and teachers to work with relevant international publications and use modern analytical tools.

In addition, Ukrainian universities and scientific institutions will have free access to full-text electronic resources on the Research4Life platform until the end of 2027.

“The Research4Life portal provides access to over 200,000 titles of books and journals from international publishers, including Elsevier, Springer Nature, John Wiley & Sons, Taylor & Francis, Emerald, Sage Publications, Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, IOP Publishing, and others,” the ministry said.

The Ministry of Education noted that continued access to international scientific resources is an important element of integrating Ukrainian science into the global research space and supporting the ability of educational and scientific institutions to operate even in conditions of full-scale war.
