POSSIBLE METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO REVIEWING RUSSIAN SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS IN ORDER TO BE PUBLISHED IN RUSSIAN SCIENCE CITATION INDEX ON THE PLATFORM OF WEB OF SCIENCE
Abstract
There had been reviewed a subject coverage and citation rating of Russian scientific-periodical journals, indexed in Web of Science Core Collection. It was demonstrated that out of 223 scientific subject areas, identified by the classifier Web of Science Categories, Russian scientific-periodical journals are represeted only in 137. Out of 152 Russian journals, included in Core Collection Web of Science, only 16 have an impact-factor, equal to 1 or more than 1. There was analysed a methodology for reviewing thousands of leading Russian journals in order to get published in the National Science Citation Index — Russian Science Citation Index in a form of a separate base created on the platform of WoS, which is used by coordinators of the project. There was suggested an alternative methodology for reviewing domestic scientific journals in order to be included in the RSCI, which is formed on the basis of establishment of quotas of journals by subject areas in accordance with disciplinary structure of world science, as well as for identifying the most productive and dynamicly developed scientific disciplines in the frames of separately chosen subject area (using an example of clinic medicine).
