Abstract

Recently, Russian science studies, particularly scientometrics, have increasingly often discussed issues associated with bibliometric indicators of the scientific productivity of Russian researchers. Scientists are concerned with how fully information about the number of the most frequently cited publications is reflected, which sciences occupy the leading positions in the world and in our country, the extent to which our scientific works are included in world databases, and so on. In analyzing citation specifics, the author of the article published below proposes to introduce a new citation index for researchers.
