Abstract: The article considers the problems of the implementation of international interaction of Russian scientists for the realization of joint mutually beneficial projects in the field of agricultural research. The analysis of the ranking of agricultural universities of Russia by the criterion of the number of publications and citations in international bibliographic databases of scientific journals made it possible to come to the conclusion that it is necessary to facilitate the integration of Russian researchers into the international scientific community. The statistical analysis of the survey of scientists from agricultural universities revealed the main measures of research output of Russian researchers and the main difficulties in promoting the results of scientific findings to the international level. The main obstacle to the implementation of international projects is the low level of representativeness of the research results of Russian scientists in international agricultural journals such as Scopus or Web of science. The article emphasizes the necessity to adopt Western traditions of writing scientific articles and presentation of the results of scientific research in English. The authors propose the solution to the problem of entry of Russian agricultural researchers into the international scientific community. This can be achieved by academic writing skills development in English in the course of training of undergraduates, specialists, graduates and postgraduates. The implementation of topical units dedicated to the theory and practice of academic writing in English into the academic course working programs will make it possible to develop the skills set necessary for academic cooperation with foreign peers.
