Academic Digest is a showcase of selected publications of academic journals of the Higher School of Economics: from economics, sociology and law to history, mathematics and art. We offer short teasers for articles that help you quickly navigate and pass on to the full text on the journal’s website. We pay attention not only to the scientific novelty and contribution of the article to professional discussion, but also to its potential to interest a wide audience that usually does not visit the websites of scientific journals. The digest is convenient to use as an entry point into the scientific ecosystem of the university — for researchers, teachers, students and all those who like to learn new things first.
