Publishing Performance Indicators by the Russian Academy of Sciences and by Russian Universities, WoS 2007-2011

摘要

The publishing activity of two major research communities, viz., the Russian Academy of Sci-ences (RAS) and domestic universities, are discussed. The data sources are the Science Citation Index-Expanded (2007-2001) and the Journal Citation Reports (2011) databases. More than 140000 domestic papers and their citation scores, as well as the distribution of these papers by subject category and by their share in internationally collaborated papers (ICP), were analyzed. The analysis showed that the highest degree of international collaboration (coauthorship) of Russian scientists is characteristic of physics, inter-disciplinary sciences, ecology, and agricultural sciences. The array under research yielded 3372 highly cited papers (the citation threshold being 30 and more times); the share of ICPs in this subarray was almost 90%.
