The Financial Support of RUDN Scientific Journals: Results Are Announced
The winner of the contest is RUDN Journal of Psychology and Pedagogics. The editor-in-chief is Victoria Kurilenko - Professor, Head of the Russian Language Department of the RUDN Medical Institute, holder of an Advanced Doctorate in Pedagogical Sciences.
The journal will receive financial support for its activities in implementing the 2020 development program submitted to the competition.
On January 29, 2020, after the expert assessment, a working meeting was held between representatives of the editorial boards of 8 RUDN scientific journals of the University with leading experts of the Elsevier Russian representative office Galina Yakshonok and Andrei Mikhailov. Colleagues answered the editors' questions and made recommendations for further improvement of the editorial policy in the context of the entry in the International Scientometric Databases.
Biologists from RUDN University working together with their colleagues from the Institute of Molecular Biology of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Flax studied the genes that determine the fatty acid composition in flaxseed oil and identified polymorphisms in six of them. The team also found out what gene variations could extend the shelf life of flaxseed oil. This data can be used to improve the genetic selection of new flax breeds. The results were published in the BMC Plant Biology journal.
The soils of urban gardens and vegetable patches contain a lot of toxicants (including lead and arsenic) in high concentrations which can be harmful to the health of children and people with chronic diseases. A team of soil scientists from RUDN University suggested a remediation method developed based on data collected in a garden of Brooklyn (NY, U.S.).

A team of biologists analyzed soil samples from a pasture and a regularly mowed meadow and found out that grazing lets more carbon get into the soil than mowing. This, in turn, improves the carbon cycle and makes microorganisms more efficient.
