“Region: Economics and Sociology is a rare treat in the world of modern social sciences where the name is never in accordance with the content. On the contrary, this journal is indeed a qualified and undoubtedly scientific publication, whose papers manifest the region – economics – sociology triad as a single indissoluble entity. Each article reflects the authors' viewpoints, different in their beliefs, but unified by the Scientific Truth. No wonder Region has a reputation as one of the best journals in Russia.”

A.Yu. Melentiev, Editor-in-Chief of Russian Economic Journal.

“Region: Economics and Sociology published by the Institute of Economics and Industrial Engineering SB RAS should be a handbook for regional legislative and executive authorities. It does not only contain interesting articles on the theory and methodology of regional economy, but also papers that reflect the experience and problems of Russian regions related to their systems of regional and municipal strategic planning and management, ‘best practices’ of regional development models.”

O.V. Molchanova, Doctor of Economics, Deputy Prime Minister of Novosibirsk Oblast, Minister for Economic Development of Novosibirsk Oblast

“The journal helps researchers be aware of the findings of regional science and informs of regional reality. Thanks to Region, the readers get acquainted and analyze not only success and failure of some abstract Russia spreading from the Baltic to the Pacific, but also the ones of actual regions where the Russian people live and work, where roads are being built and products are being issued, where their residents lack kindergartens, fresh water and a host of other things.”

Boris Mikhaylovich Grinchel, Doctor of Economics, Professor, Chief Researcher at the Institute for Problems of Regional Economics RAS
