Russian publications in library and information sciences in Scopus

The authors applied the approach based on the dynamics of key terms in library and information studies. The authors analyzed the Russian segment of publications in the area to identify the fastest growing themes applying the terminology approach and revealing specific use of key terms in Scopus database based on SciVal. They selected 2000–2020 Scopus array of Russian publications in library and information sciences. The methods comprised: using WoS CC to select publications in the advanced search mode, classifying publications by author and author ranking; further, search by identified WoS CC authors was accomplished; their ratio and ranking in SciVal themes was derived. The themes with the most used terms were selected. The hypothesis was suggested: the more keywords with the dynamics > 0% are used in the theme, the higher the probability is that this theme is a promising and growing one, and the more key terms with the negative dynamics, the more probable is that the research interest toward the topic is decreasing. Three most prospective themes for Russian studies in library and information disciplines were identified, namely: “Intellectual Structure; Co-citation Analysis; Scientometrics”, “Hirsch Index; Self-Citation; Journal Impact Factor”, “Co-Authorship; Scientific Collaboration; Scientometrics”.
