| description | A modification of the PageRank method based on link ranking is proposed to
evaluate the research results of subjects of the scientific space, taking into account selfcitation. The method of reducing the influence of self-citation on the final evaluation of the
results of research activity of subjects of the scientific space is described. The evaluation of
the results of research is calculated using the modified PR-q method, taking into account
self-citation as a solution of a system of linear algebraic equations, matrix of which consists
of coefficients determined by the number of citations of publications of one scientist in the
publications of another scientist. The described method can be used for the task of evaluating
the activity of the components of the scientific space: scientists, higher education institutions
and their structural units.
For the task of evaluating the research activity of subjects of the scientific space, a method
based on link ranking (PageRank method for web pages) and taking into account the selfcitation of scientists is proposed. The latter allows for an adequate assessment, taking into
account the abuses associated with the authors’ excessive self-citation.
The essence of the constructed method lies in the construction of a system of linear algebraic
equations, whose coefficients of the matrix reflect the citations of some scientists by others
in the citation network of scientific publications. The value of the coefficients of the matrix
of such a system of linear algebraic equations is subject to certain restrictions, which allow
to reduce the influence of the factor of excessive self-citation of the author on his overall
assessment of research activity.
The described method can be used to calculate the complex evaluation of the components
of the scientific space: the scientist, the institution of higher education and its separate structural units. Evaluating research results provides an opportunity to verify the relevance of
the research process to the goals identified at the planning stage and, if necessary, to adjust
the progress of those studies. Also, the calculation of research evaluations of the components
(objects and entities) of the scientific space is a powerful tool for managing research projects. |
