Model of classification of scientists as a measure of the significance of scientific associations, events and publications

Alexander Prutzkow

Abstract


The significance of scientific associations, events and publications is determined by the significance of their participants. The significance of a scientist is determined by the significance of his research. Determining the significance of scientific research without peer review is not always possible. However, significance values are necessary to identify directions for its increase. A measure of the significance of scientific associations, events and publications is proposed through a model of classification of scientists. The classification model involves identifying factors that influence the assignment of a scientist to a class, and classes with acceptable values of factor rules. Comparison and addition operations are defined for the measure. A specification of the classification model is proposed. Factors influencing the classification of a scientist into a class are the extent of acquaintances in the scientific community; the number of authors who cited the scientist’s publications over the past 3-5 years; membership in the NAS as an academician or corresponding member; fame or limited fame for his scientific discoveries to the general public. There are 8 classes: researcher, vast contact researcher, highly and extremely-highly cited researcher, corresponding member and academician of the National Academy of Sciences, famous and local famous researcher. We carry out three experiments to measure the significance: associations – the teaching staff of the university faculty, events – participants in a scientific conference, publications – authors of works who cited articles in a scientific journal. The experiments results show the applicability of the measure for measuring the significance of scientific associations, events and publications. We introduce a method for calculating the significance of a scientific journal, which consists of summing up the measures of significance of the editorial board, authors of articles and authors of publications who cited articles in a scientific journal. The reproducibility, adequacy and labor intensity of the proposed measure are substantiated.
