Abstract

The object of this study is the processes related to the assessment of the closeness of publication ties among scientists and taking into account their productivity related to scientific activity. This is necessary to increase the efficiency of management of research projects. To this end, the PR, TWPR, TWPR-CI methods for calculating scientific productivity estimates of scientists were described. In particular, the TWPR-CI method gives preference to those scientists whose works were more intensively published and cited during the last period of time, which is important for the formation of the composition of the executors of scientific research projects. The method for calculating the closeness of publication ties among scientists or average asymmetric tie strength was also described. The verification of dependence between the evaluation of the closeness of publication ties among scientists and their scientific productivity was carried out based on the analysis of the citation network of scientific publications and the network of scientific cooperation. The networks are built on the basis of the open access Citation Network Dataset (ver. 14). The dataset contains information on more than 5 million scientific publications and more than 36 million citations to them. The correlation analysis revealed the presence of a weak inverse relationship between these estimates. However, the weakness of the connection allows us to state that for this case there is no established correlation between the assessment of scientific productivity and the assessment of the closeness of publication ties. That is, the hypothesis that the weak connection between scientists makes it possible to increase the productivity and innovativeness of their publications was not confirmed. The results allow for a systematic approach to the process of evaluation and planning of the results of research projects, as well as the formation of the composition of their executors
