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

"Clarivate has confirmed continued 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 times of war," the message says.

Elsevier also confirmed continued 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 current international publications and use modern analytical tools.

In addition, universities and scientific institutions in Ukraine 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 department said.

The Ministry of Education emphasized 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 work even in conditions of full-scale war.
