In 2025, the reading club "Co-Author Reading" (conducted as part of the project "Science in Publications") established itself as a space for public scientific expertise, where the text ceases to be a "finished product" and becomes a reason for questioning, clarification, and continuation of thought. A reader in the club is not an audience member but a co-participant in the research: asking questions about the design and interpretations, recognizing limitations, discussing the applicability of the results in practice, and together with the author, clarifying the boundaries of the conclusions.
Over the past year, the Club held seven meetings, during which 26 authors of scientific articles participated in discussions. More than 650 participants from over 170 settlements across Russia and friendly countries registered to take part in the discussions. The geography of the Club is an indicator of how scientific conversations are becoming increasingly multivoiced, contextual, and diversified.
The themes of 2025 have formed a panorama of applied scientific agenda — from evidence-based practices to subtle diagnostic solutions:
- evidence-based prevention of deviant behavior in minors within institutional settings;
- diagnostics of the skills of younger students with ASD (using the "Navigator Compass" methodology);
- cognitive stimulating therapy (CST) for elderly and senior individuals;
- research on children’s and adolescents’ perceptions of Good and Evil;
- emotional intelligence assessment (using the "Emotions Vocabulary" methodology);
- psychodiagnostic tools for assessing the individual psychological characteristics of learners;
- self-control in written activities among young students with dysgraphia.
You can explore all the project’s events held in 2025 here.
A separate milestone of the year's discussions was the roundtable of the journal "Language and Text" on the role of written text in the history of the country — a reminder that reading remains not only a skill but also a cultural technology of thinking.
All meetings are available in the “Co‑Author Reading” playlists on the Rutube, the VK, and on Zen.
In 2026, "Co-Author Reading" will continue its work, giving articles a vibrant post-publication life — through questions, objections, clarifications, and new conclusions. We invite authors of articles from 15 scientific journals of the Moscow State University of Psychology and Education (MSUPE) to present the results of their research and developments to a wide audience, and together with the audience, to keep "reading" the articles until the ideas and results are fully clear.
The "Co-Author Reading" club congratulates readers and authors on the upcoming holidays — New Year 2026 and Christmas! May the new year bring more texts that you not only want to read but also genuinely discuss!
