New full-text databases

New full-text databases are available free of charge to KPI students thanks to cooperation with the EIFL-Ukraine Consortium (national coordinator – State Scientific and Technical Library of Ukraine – SSTL of Ukraine).

Mathematical Sciences Publishers (MSP) Journals – a collection of 20 peer-reviewed journals in mathematics, mechanics, engineering, and related sciences.

Resources from Edward Elgar Publishing – one of the largest independent publishers of academic journals and books in the fields of law, business, and social sciences.

Open collections:

Development Studies & Environment e-books – more than 1,800 monographs, reference books, and encyclopedias on development (finance, economics, innovation, infrastructure, politics, migration, etc.) and ecology (energy policy, transport, corporate responsibility, law).

Elgar Advanced Introductions: Law – 84 textbooks covering key areas of international, comparative, public, and private law.

Journals – full access to 19 journals published by the company.

We remind you that thanks to the EIFL initiative, Igor Sikorsky KPI already has access to:

• the ACM Digital Library,
• standards and technical information on the ASTM Compass platform,
• Cambridge University Press and Oxford University Press journal collections,
• IOPscience journals from the Institute of Physics Publishing.

Access to these databases is available from all local IP addresses of the university.

International scientific information resources for KPI students: Research4Life

Electronic resources are an integral part of researchers’ work, as they provide quick and convenient access to verified scientific sources. Igor Sikorsky KPI has access to a number of international databases that support learning and research. Today we will talk about the Research4Life platform.

Research4Life brings together scientific, technical, natural science, medical, and socio-political literature from the world’s leading publishers. Ukrainian universities have access to over 18,500 journals, 129,000 books, and a number of databases.

Remote access is available with a login and password, which can be obtained upon request.

Also available through Research4Life:

• Cambridge University Press – over 420 peer-reviewed journals in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences;
• IOPscience – publications from over 100 journals in the fields of physics, engineering, medicine, and related sciences;
• Oxford University Press – over 500 academic journals in various scientific fields from the world’s largest university press.

Director of the KPI Library Yevheniia Kulyk took part in the IV International Conference “Open Science and Innovation in Ukraine 2025”

Director of the KPI Library Yevheniia Kulyk took part in the IV International Conference “Open Science and Innovation in Ukraine 2025.”

She presented a report entitled “KPI Open Science Model: How to Build a University System of Openness in Science” on how Igor Sikorsky KPI is creating a comprehensive open science system that brings together people, data, institutions, and ideas.

The presentation covered the key elements of the model, practical steps for implementation, and KPI’s experience in developing a culture of openness in the scientific community.

We are proud and continue to work.

Publications included in the TOP 10 most cited in their fields

The scientific achievements of Igor Sikorsky KPI include publications that are among the top 10 most cited in their fields. This is not surprising: our researchers work on complex fundamental problems that have practical significance for modern physics and engineering.

One example is last year’s article by Vyacheslav Gorshkov, professor of the Department of General Physics and Modeling of Physical Processes, in the Journal of Sound and Vibration. This publication is included in the highest SJR quartile in the field of applied mechanics and acoustics, and the article itself has already become one of the most cited!

What makes this work unique? It investigates how acoustic waves propagate in multilayer structures with periodic insertions. This is important, for example, for creating materials with specified sound insulation properties or for the latest sensor systems. The authors have constructed a complex analytical model that allows them to accurately describe the behavior of waves and simplify engineering calculations when designing such systems.
