According to data from Scopus, the world’s largest database of scientific publications, in 2025 researchers from NUST MISIS published 890 papers. Two of these were featured in journals ranked among the top 1% worldwide by CiteScore: Reviews of Modern Physics and ACS Nano.
Both journals have the 99th percentile, indicating that their citation impact — one of the most important indicators of scientific influence — is higher than that of 99% of academic journals. Scopus determines percentiles using the CiteScore metric, which reflects the average number of citations received over four years per article published in a journal. Since citation patterns vary significantly across research fields, rankings are compiled separately for each subject area.
In 2024, Reviews of Modern Physics posted a record CiteScore of 91.1, securing 13th place among more than 49,000 journals indexed by Scopus across all disciplines. By comparison, Nature ranks 22nd with a CiteScore of 78.1.
In the article Qudits for Decomposing Multiqubit Gates and Realizing Quantum Algorithms, published in Reviews of Modern Physics, researchers from the College of physics and quantum engineering at NUST MISIS — Evgeny Kiktenko, Anastasia Nikolaeva, and Alexey Fedorov — explore approaches to using qudits, multi-level quantum systems, for the efficient implementation of quantum algorithms.
ACS Nano has a CiteScore of 24.2 and ranks 297th in the overall Scopus rating. With the participation of Alexander Kvashnin, Professor at the Department of semiconductor and dielectric materials at NUST MISIS, an international team of researchers published the article SbIV, an Unusual Player in 2D Spintronic Devices, presenting the results of a theoretical study of ultrathin films of the perovskite Rb₂SbCl₆.
