Forecast of the Development of Russian Scientific Journals: Indexing in International Citation Indexes (Web of Science Platform)

Ольга Москалева

Mark Akoev

Abstract: This article is the first in a series of articles representing the development forecast of Russian scientific journals. Based on the analysis of the dynamics of many bibliometric indicators of Russian journals presented in various databases on the Web of Science platform, a forecast is made for the development of journals by field of science using the OECD classifier. Proposals are made on the necessary measures to increase the bibliometric indicators of Russian journals in the natural sciences, forecast of in… Show more

The article analyzes Russian open access scholarly journals in the context of improving the presentation of the results of scientific research of Russian scientists. The advantages and problems of supporting open access publications are considered, taking into account the analysis of the interests of the stakeholders of scientific publications, examples of state policy for supporting open access publications are presented, and options for adapting the open access model in Russia are formulated. The analysis of the representation of information on the terms of open access for Russian journals is carried out. The citation rate of open access journals was investigated in comparison with the citation rate of traditional subscription publications taking into account the types of open access and the country of the author of the publication. Proposals for adjusting the editorial policy in order to promote Russian journals, improve their quality and accessibility are presented. The final conclusions are made for the entire series of articles devoted to the forecast of the development of Russian journals.

Scientific reviews are a publications type, which is very important for the world scientific community. This article considers reviews positions in the world publication flow (within the database «Wed of Science Core Collection» (WoS CC) array) for six natural sciences research areas (physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology, biology, computer science) during the period 2010–2019 for the leading countries of the world and Russia. The article considers additionally this type documents citation specialties depending on the research area.By means of the WoS CC database, bibliometric parameters of publication flows of scientific reviews for the six mentioned research natural sciences areas were determined: the number of records, it’s percentage in the total publication flow, the place of Russian reviews in the world flow, the average citation rate, the proportion of not cited records, the period of active citation. The dynamics of changes for these parameters over time (2010–2019) is considered.The article establishes the following features of scientific reviews, as a specific publication type:the percentage of reviews in both the world and Russian information flow is relatively small, it significantly depends on the research area, but over time it increases for all research areas;the trends of changes for the Russian reviews flow over time and in all research areas, follows world trends;Russian reviews occupy places, in terms of quantity, from 6–9 to a place in the fifth ten in the world array of WoS CC documents (depending on the year and research area), but they show a large spread in average citation terms. Sometimes, Russian reviews average citation is approaching and even exceeds the world average citation for some years and some research areas (and sometimes significantly);the non-cited reviews publications share is significantly lower than even for articles (the most cited type of publications);the reviews active citation period reaches 9–10 years and is significantly longer than (from some publications opinion) for scientific publications in general.

Choosing a publishing model is crucial for an academic journal which aims to increase international visibility, cover a wide readership and strengthen its position in international scientometric databases. The article investigates the publishing models of Russian economic and sociological journals indexed in Scopus. The methodological basis of the study is the general principles of scientometric management. The methods of content analysis and citation analysis were used. The information base covers the data retrieved from the Russian Science Citation Index and international scientometric databases Scopus, Scimago Journal & Country Rank. We propose an approach that helps establish a correlation between Russian articles’ citation rate in the international environment and their publication language. In the course of the study, we analyse 30 journals and carry out a quantitative and qualitative assessment of their citations. The paper provides a typology of publication models and categorises them into nine groups according to the share of English-language articles, their publication frequency and specificity in relation to the Russian-language content. Having analysed the journals’ citation indicators, we identify the models that do not impede the journals’ integration into the international environment and are most effective in achieving high citation rates and reaching a wide international readership. Publishing two Russian and English parallel versions of the same journal is recognized as the best practice. The findings can be of use to research institutions and editorial offices in designing journal promotion strategies and strengthening their positions in international scientometric databases.
