Ukrainian higher 91Ƶ and scientific institutions will continue to have free access to key international scientometric and full-text resources in 2026.
The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine has held negotiations and received official confirmations from international partners – Clarivate and Elsevier – on the extension of free access for Ukrainian institutions.
Access from Clarivate
Clarivate has confirmed continuous access for Ukrainian institutions to the Web of Science, InCites and Derwent Innovation resources until December 31, 2026. The decision is aimed at supporting the Ukrainian scientific community and ensuring consistent access to reliable scientific information in times of war.
Access from Elsevier
Elsevier also confirmed the continuation of access for Ukrainian educational and scientific institutions to its scientific electronic resources – in particular Scopus and SciVal – in 2026. This will allow researchers and teachers to work with relevant international publications and use modern analytical tools.
Access through Research4Life
In addition, Ukrainian universities and scientific institutions have free access to full-text electronic resources on the Research4Life platform until the end of 2027.
Since January 2023, Ukraine has had the right to access the full-text electronic resources of the Research4Life portal as a Group A country (open access), which will continue until the end of 2027.
The Research4Life portal provides access to over 200 thousand 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.
