Accounting and Control: does a paper here count for EB-1A and O-1?

Electronic Scientific and Practical Journal "Accounting and Control" (VAK)

In short

Accounting and Control - on the VAK list (category K3), in RINTs, not in Scopus or Web of Science (per the eLIBRARY.RU card, Sep 25, 2026). For the scholarly-articles (authorship) criterion of EB-1A and O-1 a paper here works if it is yours, scholarly and peer reviewed, but VAK and RINTs mean nothing to a USCIS officer - you will have to explain them in the petition, and Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed weigh far more. More in the scholarly-articles (authorship) criterion and in what VAK journals mean to USCIS. An article about you, not by you, is a different criterion: published material about you.
