Abstract:
One way to evaluate the scientific activity of a scientist is to calculate various indicators based on the number of his publications and their citation. In this case, each co-author of the publication receives the same number of points for it. A similar ranking method leads to an artificial increase in the number of co-authors in our publications. This leads to a distortion of ratings, and to a significant decrease in the quality of thematic search. The method presented in the paper allows us to evaluate the contribution of the author to his published works. Approbation of the method was done on the data of the scientometric system IAS ISTINA.
