Ranking Method of a Team of Scientists by Their Publication Activity in Scientific Journals of Quartile Systematics and Indexed in Rsci Database

The article offers a more complex and effective method of assessing the publication activity of scientists in comparison with existing algorithms for the formation of the Hirsch index and its modifications. The method involves structuring all published works of the scientist and their citations, as well as a mathematical description of the algorithm of index construction. The results of the scientist’s publication activities are structured using the matrix form of recording statistical raw data from the RSCI (Russian Science Citation Index). The index algorithm is based on summing all publications and citations, taking into account the weight of journals and the number of authors. The weight of the journals in which the articles are published and links to them are set depending on their quartiles. The method allows, with the help of the proposed complex index, to establish the ratings of scientists in their teams.
