Abstract. Significance. Analysis of publishing activity of scientific research organizations is regulated by a number of documents issued in 2009-2010 by the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Education and Science. Since 2013, publishing activity of employees of medical research institutes is evaluated according to the criteria specified by a number of documents: Presidential Decree No. 599 as of 05.07.2012, “Development Strategy for Medical Sciences in the Russian Federation through 2025”, " Federal Fundamental Scientific Research Program for 2013-2020”.

Purpose. To assess dynamics in indicators of publishing activity of research institutes according to the Russian Science Citation Index database.

Methods. The object of the study - 57 research institutes registered in the Russian Science Citation Index database, former subordinates of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. The studied phenomenon - publishing activity. The source of information - the Science Index for the organizations as of 11.25.2015

Results. 43,488 articles were published by the research institutes according to the Russian Science Citation Index database in 2009 - 2014. The number of publications increased by 9.2%. Moreover, 12 105 articles were published in the journals indexed in the WoS / Scopus with an increase by 5.8%. The share of articles in the WoS / Scopus databases out of the total number of articles in the studied period equaled to 27.8%. In five years, the number of citations of the articles published by the research scientific organizations increased by 38.7%.

57 research institutes were grouped into four clusters using the classification analysis according to the average rank values for the studied variables. It was found out that the share of articles published by the research institutes from the third cluster added up to 52%, including 55% of articles published in the journals indexed in the WoS / Scopus, and 56% of all citations.

Conclusion. The statistical analysis of bibliometric indicators of the research institutes, former subordinates of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences showed a positive tendency in publishing activity in 2009-2014.
