In this paper, the city rank-size hypothesis is tested for the urban system of the USSR and the Republic of Ukraine using (1) census data for 1897, 1926, 1939, 1959, 1970 and 1979, (2) subgrouping each census year in 3 categories: largest cities (rank 1-5), middle-sized cities (rank 6-50) and smallest cities (rank higher than 50) in addition to the whole sample. Following the interpretation of the previous results, the relative changes in the ratios of the city distribution slope values from both systems are then observed and analysed for each of the specified group of cities.
The purpose of this paper is to position the place of economics in Ukraine and its scholarly visibility at the international level. Using the EconLit database, the analysis covers the affiliation of contributing authors, the gender composition, the patterns of collaboration between Ukrainian and foreign economists and a review of the different thematic treated in the articles. Results show that Ukrainian authors have a general profile of co-authorship similar to western practices, a significant proportion of publications from governmental circles, a low female representation and a small number of Ukrainian authors having published in journals also included in the S.S.C.I. database.
RÉSUMÉ
Cette étude empirique évalue l’importance relative des articles en économie industrielle publiés dans les principales revues scientifiques généralistes ou spécialisées, autant anglophones que francophones, en utilisant le nouveau système de classification du J.E.L. de 1991. Les contributions sont examinées à l’intérieur de deux périodes récentes, 1991-1994 et 1995-1998, et regroupées suivant le type d’article : analyse théorique (L100- L390); politique industrielle (L400-L590); études sectorielles (L600-L990). Un indice de progression vers la spécialisation (IPS) permettrait d’observer l’évolution de la politique éditoriale en rapport avec le thème traité, alors qu’un taux de référence multiple (TRM) révèle les caractéristiques spécifiques aux revues en fonction du type d’article publié.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
