Abstract
The article deals with scientometric analysis of publications by 40 wide-known Russian linguists. The linguists are ranked by h-index, the number of publications and citations according to the data of Russian Science Citation Index. This research examines the factors affecting h-index and citation rates: involvement in leading research areas, carrying out scientific inquiries in top universities and academic research institutes, high prestige of relevant journals and publishers, and publishing textbooks and monographs. The s-index (self-citation index) is proposed as an additional scienometric measuring of individual's publication record. The s-index is computed by taking the ratio of h-index to h-index calculated without self-citations. It is concluded that scientometric analysis of h-index and s-index can be one of the objective tools for evaluation of scholars. At the same time, the methods of scientometrics need to be improved, including better coordination of national databases and global scientometric sources (Scopus, Web of Science, etc.). A promising area of applied scientometrics is the use of expert assessments made by qualified specialists in the relevant field of knowledge and the expansion of evaluation parameters.
