Abstract
Features of applying bibliometric indicators for scientific journals and scientists are discussed using, as examples, scientists of the S. P. Timoshenko Institute of Mechanics and the journal Prikladnaya Mekhanika (International Applied Mechanics), which is published by the institute in Russian and by Springer in English. Old and new scientific databases are described and commented on. Consideration is given to citation as the most popular parameter for bibliometric indicators, the Hirsch and Egghe indices as criteria for the evaluation of scientists, the Hirsch index, Impact-Factor, SJR, SNIP, and RIP as criteria for the evaluation of scientific journals, and a new approach to evaluation based on full-text article requests. In 1991–2011, Prikladnaya Mekhanika (International Applied Mechanics) had highest indicators among all Ukrainian scientific journals: Impact-Factor = 1.740 in 2005, SJR = 0.240 in 2006, RIP = 1.76 in 2006, SNIP = 2.45 in 2011
