“…В целом, публикационная активность, по данным исследований, зависит от научных степеней и академических рангов, установлено ее возрастание с получением последних, согласно исследованиям Bentley P (2012) [21]. Как показали исследования, австралийские женщины, имеющие одинаковые с мужчинами академические ранги, обладали и схожими показателями публикационной активности [22]. Таким образом, при общей динамике роста объема научной продукции, производимой учеными НМИЦ ТПМ, за исследуемый период h-индекс значительно меньше подвержен изменениям и практически остается на одном уровне, но укладывается в рамки среднестатистического показателя этого индекса в целом по России.…”

Aim. To assess the influence of sex, age and length of service on scientific productivity (h-index in the RSCI, Scopus and Web of Science) of researchers of the National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine.Material and methods. The study sample was formed from the staff of the National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine and consisted of scientists of various ranks. The study included 147 people (women, 103; men, 44); Information was collected on their age, education, length of service, academic degree, the position held and author-level metrics — the h-index, obtained from three abstract and citation databases — RSCI, Scopus and Web of Science. All study participants were divided into groups by sex and age categories — young (≤39 years), middle-aged (men, 40-60 years; women, 40-55 years) and older (men >60 years old; women >55 years).Results. Analysis showed that 70,1% of the research team consists of women; 60% — young and middle-aged scientists, and 40% — older people. Among male researchers, compared with women, there are more doctors of science and high h-index values in the RSCI, Scopus and Web of Science. H-index value in the RSCI among male researchers is 47,3% due to the age and work duration at the National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine, and among female researchers, 42,8% due to academic degree and length of service. The h-index in Scopus in men is influenced by age, in women — by the presence of an academic degree, which explain, respectively, 19,7 and 18,1% of its variability. H-index value in the Web of Science in men is associated with the work duration, while in women, with an academic degree and length of service, which explain, respectively, 24,4 and 21,1% of its variance.Conclusion. Women and young and middle-aged scientists prevail in research team pattern of the National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine. However, male researchers make a more significant contribution to scientific productivity, assessed by the h-index in the RSCI, Scopus and Web of Science. Age and length of service have the greatest influence on scientific productivity for male researchers, while for women — presence of academic degree and length of service. It is necessary to continue research on the study of individual, motivational and institutional factors affecting the scientific productivity.

“…The mean number of citations per year by authors other than the prominent author for each article ranged from 8.62 to .57 (M = 3.36, SD = 2.23). However, an interpretation of this finding must be cautioned because the mean number does not always represent independent citations (e.g., see discussion by Gordon et al, 1984). For example, prominent authors encourage or serve as mentors to doctoral students and these students in turn cite the primary author's earlier work.…”

The purpose of this article was to identify and characterize prominent journal publications in the learning disabilities field from 1976 to 1985. Based on the frequency of citations in the Social Science Citation Index, 33 prominent articles were identified. Prominent (frequently cited) articles were compared with randomly selected articles on a number of characteristics (e.g., funding source, research design, statistical method). Implications related to the characteristics and quality of articles that influence the learning disability field were discussed.

“…Only Herbert Simon was nominated by more than half of the experts, and only David Ausubel, Jerome Bruner, and Robert Gagne were nominated by more than one third. Nine of the theorists identified were also mentioned as leading educational researchers in a recent study by Gordon, Nucci, West, Hoerr, Uguroglu, Vukosavich, and Tsai (1984).…”
