Scientometric Evaluation of Sports Journals in Russia

摘要

The article is devoted to a scientometric review of Russian journals of sports science. The tops of such journals are presented for several scientometric indicators. Indicators are selected on the basis of the most used and qualitatively reflecting the actual situation. The authors conclude that the number of journals of this scientific category in the country is sufficient, but they should work towards increasing the citing mass and distribution of publications not only in the domestic area, but also on a global scale. Journals with high growth potential, but which are worth finalizing some aspects of functioning, are presented. The need for a competent editorial policy in these publications is indicated.
