“…One of the key recommendations issued by the Commission was to identify research universities after a period of 5 years by taking into consideration also "the number of international publications and citations". In the meantime, the use of bibliometric indicators become largely diffused in Ukraine for ranking institutions [70], for distributing financial awards, and for evaluating projects [71]. According to [72], "until 2015 publication requirements for becoming associate professor and professor included only articles in Ukrainian journals.…”

Self-citations are a key topic in evaluative bibliometrics because they can artificially inflate citation-related performance indicators. Recently, self-citations defined at the largest scale, i.e., country self-citations, have started to attract the attention of researchers and policymakers. According to a recent research, in fact, the anomalous trends in the country self-citation rates of some countries, such as Italy, have been induced by the distorting effect of citation metrics-centered science policies. In the present study, we investigate the trends of country self-citations in 50 countries over the world in the period 1996-2019 using Scopus data. Results show that for most countries country self-citations have decreased over time. 12 countries (Colombia, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Malaysia, Pakistan, Romania, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, and Ukraine), however, exhibit different behavior, with anomalous trends of self-citations. We argue that these anomalies should be attributed to the aggressive science policies adopted by these countries in recent years, which are all characterized by direct or indirect incentives for citations. Our analysis confirms that when bibliometric indicators are integrated into systems of incentives, they are capable of affecting rapidly and visibly the citation behavior of entire countries.

“…Paradigm of Knowledge № 2(56), 2023 Key factors influencing the scientometric status of Ukraine's HEIs according to publication asset rating of their teaching staff were explored by K. Akbash, N. Pasichnyk, R. Rizhniak [18] in order to establish, by means of variance analysis and regression analysis, the extent of influence of for military purposes, studying the human factor in cybersecurity issues; it is accentuated that university education plays a key role in prospects of academic discourse which is currently almost separated from social practice in terms of education for cybersecurity (lack of portable education programs, teaching the classification of relevant cybersecurity issues, especially in IT classification by IRCS (Index of Relevance in Cybersecurity), methodological content of courses, cyber technologies and processes, as well as spaces for application of practical solutions for complicated and practice-related problems related to government strategies for the armed forces and cybersecurity specialists in scenarios of military strategies to organize a safe cyber space through innovative approaches in the field of education and science [23].…”

The article presents a content analysis of modern sciences and fields of knowledge such as scientometrics, pedagogical qualimetry, sociometry, bibliometrics, and cybermetrics. It suggests a set of means of informational and tecnhological services – software to organize preparations, tools for communication with consumers of educational services, and tools for educational and scientific project development. The structure of instructors' professional reputation metrics is revealed. Key words: professional reputation metrics, informational and technological service, means of informational and technological service.

“…Sin embargo, dado que la ciencia está inmersa en un entorno multidimensional y no puede ser caracterizada de manera unívoca mediante un solo indicador, es de esperar que el resultado de cualquier proceso de evaluación sea un indicador compuesto o que involucre múltiples dimensiones. Por lo tanto, existe una amplia variedad de formas para clasificar los indicadores en el ámbito científico, y a continuación se presentan algunas de las dimensiones más comunes (Moravcsik, 1989;Bollen et al, 2009;Akbash et al, 2021). a) Pasado, presente y futuro: las evaluaciones son más fiables cuando se refieren a la ciencia desarrollada en el pasado, ya que el método científico proporciona criterios unívocos.…”

La evaluación de la actividad científica ha sido objeto de estudio de numerosos investigadores. En Cuba existen insuficiencias en las formas de seguimiento y evaluación de los resultados científicos. Sistematizar los indicadores y metodologías existentes para medir la actividad científico-tecnológica a nivel internacional, así como los utilizados en Cuba, se hace necesario en un contexto donde prolifera el uso y abuso de indicadores sin tener en cuenta elementos de juicio que los sitúen en el contexto evaluativo en el que se van a usar. Se considera imprescindible contar con sistemas de indicadores que evalúen de forma sistematizada y atemperada con las nuevas corrientes esta actividad. Teniendo en cuenta el contexto de aplicación de los indicadores, habría que remarcar este tipo de evaluación en tres actores fundamentales en el desarrollo de la ciencia y la técnica cubanas: las universidades, los centros de investigación y las empresas de alta tecnología. En la actualidad, no se han establecido de forma sostenida y estable indicadores normalizados y políticas confiables y eficaces para la evaluación de resultados e impacto desde el nivel institucional. Se ha logrado demostrar que es posible utilizar la bibliometría para evaluar la actividad científica; pero sigue pendiente la construcción de una solución metodológica y una herramienta aplicable a diferentes tipologías institucionales y que sus resultados contribuyan a la toma de decisiones.
