Introduction. Improvement of medical technologies that increase the quality of life and life expectancy of a person is provided for by national projects of Russia. One of the markers for proper scientific support of these technologies is the publication scientific rating on rehabilitation in international databases.

Aim. Analysis of the Russian publication scientific array against the background of the world in the direction of medical rehabilitation in the Web of Science database and forecast of its change in the short term.

Materials and methods. Data of three hierarchical levels of the Web of Science database are analysed: all base and the section “Sciences about Life and Biomedicine” (Life Sciences & Biomedicine) for 1991–2018, the subsection “Rehabilitation” – for 1975–2018. The forecast of change of publication rating of Russia was carried out by creation of the polynomial line of a trend of the second degree.

Results. In 1991 Russia in the publication scientific rating in the subsection “Rehabilitation” was in the third place, unlike the section “Life sciences and biomedical” (22nd place) and the database as a whole (41st place). However, in the post-Soviet period there is a significant decline in the publication rating in the subsection “Rehabilitation”, while in the section “Life Sciences and Biomedical” and the database as a whole, Russia’s position in the world publication rating has improved. These trends continued until 2014. The forecast of the change in the share of domestic publications on rehabilitation taking into account the information of 1991–2018 showed that the achievement of the highest level of the share during this period (1991), while maintaining the growth rate of publication activity of Russian scientists, is expected by 2028.

Discussion. The decline in Russia’s publication scientific rating since 1991 compared to the achievements of the Soviet period is due not only to the decrease in the publication activity of Russian scientists and the increase in the world volume of publications, but also to the increase in the number of countries represented in the database.
The loss of Russia’s high position was facilitated by large-scale political and economic changes that affected domestic science. The increase in the number of Russian publications in the period 2014–2018 was facilitated by the measures taken by the state to stimulate the publication activity of domestic scientists.

Conclusion. Modeling the growth of the share of domestic publications on rehabilitation in high-rating databases for the near future, taking into account the information of the Web of Science database for the period 1991–2018, allowed to estimate the prospect of achieving high indicators in 1991: at the current rate of growth of publication activity of Russian scientists this is possible by 2028.
