This review article has resulted from the discussion during the roundtable of the editors-in-chief of the international relations (IR) journals, convened by Saint Petersburg State University as part of the Congress of the IR students (November, 2022). As a result of the discussion, the participants agreed that Russian journals have passed a serious way of positioning at the international level, which is proved by the statistics of indexing journals in well-known databases. The sharp transformation of the international system is only just beginning to affect the publication activity of foreign authors and the promotion of domestic publications in the ratings. At this historical stage, Russian journals in the field of international relations are at a crossroads between full nationalization and functioning in the realities of fragmented globalization. In addition, the most important challenge that scientific journals will face is the changing market for scientific publications due to the emergence of new technologies, including the increasing use of “artificial intelligence”. The distribution of new software products allows not only to search for data for the implementation of scientific expertise, but also creates conditions for the rapid preparation of manuscripts of various volumes. This will lead to a dramatic increase in the number of scientific publications. The journals will have to be ready to create flexible publication models and verify the validity of scientific information.
