Abstract

Semerikov S.O. Pototskyi V.S., Slovak K.I., Hryshchenko S.M. and Kiv A.E. Automation of the Export Data from Open Journal Systems to the Russian Science Citation Index.
 It is shown that the calculation of scientometric indicators of the scientist and also the scientific journal continues to be an actual problem nowadays. It is revealed that the leading scientometric databases have the capabilities of automated metadata collection from the scientific journal website by the use of specialized electronic document management systems, in particular Open Journal Systems. It is established that Open Journal Systems successfully exports metadata about an article from scientific journals to scientometric databases Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. However, there is no standard method of export from Open Journal Systems to such scientometric databases as the Russian Science Citation Index and Index Copernicus, which determined the need for research. The aim of the study is to develop the plug-in to the Open Journal Systems for the export of data from this system to scientometric database Russian Science Citation Index. As a result of the study, an infological model for exporting metadata from Open Journal Systems to the Russian Science Citation Index was proposed. The SirenExpo plug-in was developed to export data from Open Journal Systems to the Russian Science Citation Index by the use of the Articulusrelease preparation system.

Highlights

  • The formalized accounting of the scientist’s productivity according to the published results is an important component of the evaluation of his activity, the activity of scientists and scientific institutions ‒ is carried out with the help of scientometric databases

  • The main source of information about the publication is their annotations and other metadata posted on the website of the scientific journal

  • The use of standard protocols for metadata exchange promotes a better calculation of scientometric indicators of the scientist and of the scientific journal itself [3; 5; 6; 8; 16]

Summary

Introduction

The formalized accounting of the scientist’s productivity according to the published results is an important component of the evaluation of his activity, the activity of scientists and scientific institutions ‒ is carried out with the help of scientometric databases. Internet-accessibility of the scientific publication for today is one of the toppriority requirements for its inclusion in any scientometric databases. The main source of information about the publication is their annotations and other metadata posted on the website of the scientific journal. The use of standard protocols for metadata exchange promotes a better calculation of scientometric indicators of the scientist and of the scientific journal itself (primarily its impact factor) [3; 5; 6; 8; 16]. Not all leading scientometric databases have the possibility of automated metadata collection from the scientific journal’s site, which actualized the conduct of an appropriate study
