НАУКОМЕТРИЧЕСКИЕ ПОКАЗАТЕЛИ ПУБЛИКАЦИОННОЙ АКТИВНОСТИ РОССИЙСКИХ УЧЕНЫХ В ОБЛАСТИ ЭКОЛОГИИ (2016-2020 ГГ.)

Abstract

The article presents the results of scientometric analysis of the Russian document flow in the field of ecology over the past 5 years (2016-2020) based on scientific citation databases (Web of Science Core Collection (WoS CC), Scopus, Google Scholar and RSCI), special attention is paid to WoS CC and Scopus. The leading positions in the number of publications were identified (the first 3 positions are considered): authors, affiliated organizations, funding organizations, branches of science, types of documents, publications. The data on the scientometric indices of the publication activity of Russian scientists in the field of ecology are considered in more detail especially according to such indices as the number of publications, the number of citations, the Hirsch index and the percentile for the RSCI core. The article presents dynamics of the publication activity of Russian researchers in the field of ecology on the considered databases of scientific citation, as well as it gives a comparison of indices and the years in which the largest number of publications are recorded. The study revealed a possible correlation of the international and national events with a surge in the publication activity of Russian researchers. It is noted that the scientometric analysis of the industry document flow allows the solution of following tasks: to identify the most productive authors, to identify organizations whose employees are actively publishing in the area, to highlight the organizations participating in the funding of scientific research in the area under consideration, to determine the branches of science in which scientific research is developing in the area.
