Abstract

The article presents the development of bibliometrics as a tool for assessing scientific activity. The term “bibliometrics” has various formulations and applications: the development of a discipline, the citation of scientists, the study of affiliations of scientists. The transformation of this tool from analog to digital format is also presented. The bibliometric data was first used in the 1920s, however, the method gained popularity after the creation of the Science Citation Index. The controversy of using this method lies in the methodology of the studied object (for example, whether citation is an indicator of scientist productivity, whether it is possible to consider mobility as relocation, affiliate change, or co-authorship with scientists from other universities and research organizations). The study presents an algorithm for generating, processing and analyzing bibliometric data, the need for development of which is dictated by the current situation.
