First Time

Twenty two science Russian periodicals in informatics and library studies are selected for the bibliometrical analysis of key journal indicators, including publication activity of the same journals’ editorial staff. For the first time for domestic journals, the study reveals hidden self-citation when editorial members include links to their journal from other publications. The available instruments of scientometrical databases, including Web of Science and Scopus, and the national system Russian Science Citation Index do not enable to identify this form of self-citation. The mentioned manipulations are aimed at boosting journal rating. In several cases, intensive and unjustified citation by journals’ editorial staff in other periodicals which we consider the violation of publication ethical principles, is revealed.

The aim of the study is to estimate the effect of the Russian academic excellence project (Project 5-100) on the publication activity of the University of Tyumen, measured by the number of articles published in journals indexed in the Web of Science database. The hypothesis of the research is that there is a positive causal relationship between the number of published articles and the University’s participation in Project 5-100. This impact was estimated empirically for the University of Tyumen while the other university participants (31 universities) were taken as a control group. Counterfactual scenarios are used to find the number of articles that the university employees would have published in the absence of Project 5-100. Thus, it is shown that, despite the failure to meet the goal of entering the top 200 of world universities in the ranking for ecology and agricultural biology, the University of Tyumen benefited from its participation in Project 5-100: its number of publications, especially in journals of the first and second quartile, has been growing faster than in the control group of universities.

Publication Activity

Проведен анализ публикационной активности журнала по состоянию на 2019 г. С января 2019 г. журнал «Вестник ИжГТУ имени М. Т. Калашникова» реорганизован и имеет 3 раздела по техническим наукам: «Машиностроение и машиноведение», «Радиотехника и связь», «Энергетические системы и комплексы». С этого времени журнал публикует 9–12 статей в номере, средний размер которых составляет 16 страниц. В редколлегию привлечены 14 иностранных членов и 14 ученых из других регионов РФ. Значительно выросла цитируемость членов редакционной коллегии, в частности индекс Хирша членов редколлегии по Scopus и Web of Science составил в среднем 7. Для повышения качества статей проводится слепое рецензирование двумя рецензентами, рецензии размещаются на портале Е-library; до 20 % повысилось число отклоненных статей с низкой научной значимостью. Обновлен сайт журнала и информация о журнале в РИНЦ. Составляющая статей усилена с помощью дополнительных параллельных заголовков и надписей на английском языке: название статьи, авторы, аннотация, библиографические ссылки (References), а также подрисуночные подписи и названия таблиц. Повышены требования к информативности аннотаций и выводов, а также требования в части библиографии: не менее 15 ссылок на журнальные статьи, опубликованные в последние 3–5 лет, в том числе иностранные. До 2019 г. статьи авторов из других регионов составляли всего 10–15 %, в 2019–2020 гг. число таких статей увеличилось до 50 %. Публикационная активность журнала в 2019 г. в сравнении с 2017 г. по большинству показателей существенно выросла: двухлетний импакт-фактор РИНЦ вырос почти в 3 раза; двухлетний импакт-фактор по ядру РИНЦ – в 3 раза.

The Impact

The article presents an analysis of the current state of the Russian segment of publications on physical and chemical biology (PCB) in the international database Web of Science Core Collection (WoS CC) for the period 2000–2019. The main task of the study is to analyze the dynamics of changes in the arrays of Russian publications in the field of physical and chemical biology, including determining the average citation rate of publications; analysis of the impact of international cooperation on publication activity; identification of leaders at the level of research institutions and individual specialists. The study is based on a bibliometric analysis of publication arrays presented in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS CC) database for the period 2000–2019. It is shown that after a period of decline in publication activity, starting in 2015, previously lost positions in the share of publications in the world array were restored in Russia. However, the citation of Russian publications lags significantly behind the performance of the of the main competitor countries. It is shown that Russian publications without foreign participation are cited 3–4 times less often than workswith foreign co-authorship. Throughout the entire study period, there was an increase in the number of co-authors in publications, as well as the share of publications made with the participation of five or more co-authors: by 2019, such publications accounted for almost 64%, in 2000 there were about 40% of such publications. It is shown that the main contribution to the Russian documentary stream on physical and chemical biology is made by the research institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RI RAS) – 68% of publications and 67% of all citations. Research institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences have a significant impact on the publication activity of universities: in the period 2012–2019. The share of joint publications of universities and research institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences was 55% of the array of university documents and 62% of all citations to university publications. The article presents the ratings of Russian scientific organizations by the share of publications in the Russian array in the field of physicochemical biology, as well as scientists by the largest number of publications and the highest average citation.
