Abstract
The study is accomplished to develop the strategy to reveal publication and patent activity leaders in the Russian Federation based on the data provided by Scopus, Web of Science and Derwent. The study task is to analyze various approaches to selecting these leaders on the basis of primary machine-readable data in XML format generated by Scopus, Web of Science and Derwent. The authors have examined the ratings of Leiden (fractional estimate method), QS World University Rankings and Academic Ranking of World Universities (weighed indicator per one researcher, selecting a quality rating method). They conclude that these methods do not comprise any integrated index for comparable Scopus and Web of Science bibliometrical parameters, and leave the number of patents granted out of account. The authors examine the necessity for comparing institutional leaders of publication activity and patent activity leaders.
The study is accomplished within the state order of the RF Ministry of Science and Higher Education “Developing the system of strategic and content monitoring of science, research, technological and innovative activities as related to the target and supplementary indicators of programmatic documents (Strategy of the scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation, Science National Project, National Program “Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation”) (730000F.99.1.BV16AA02001); (730000F.99.1.BV16AA02001).
