The use of modern bibliometric indicators in conducting research and evaluating their effectiveness
Russian scientists, as a rule, come across the term “bibliometry” when they need to fill out scientific reporting forms and behind-the-scenes discussions of the Hirsch index. At the same time, in developed countries bibliometry today is used with less bureaucracy and with more active involvement of experts: to understand the strengths and weaknesses in research, to determine the circle of leading scientists and their teams, as well as to select journals for publishing scientific results.
Modern bibliometric indicators allow you to answer more complex and important questions than the usual indicators of total citation of works or the Hirsch index, and also lack many methodological restrictions on use.
The webinar talks about both familiar bibliometric indicators and modern ones, discusses the main ways of their application and interpretation, and analyzes the main mistakes made by scientific administrators, managers and government officials in their application.
