The goal of present study is to investigate the problem of using scientometric indicators in Ukraine to evaluate the results of scientific activity on the example of a specific scientist, namely, academician of the NAS of Ukraine V.I. Starostenko. Particular attention is paid to the labour of the scientist as a reviewer and editor-in-chief. A formal and informal evaluation of his scientific activity was carried out. His most important achievements and publications are highlighted, as well as his role in the preparation of highly qualified personnel in the field of geophysics is marked out. Quantitative indicators from the profiles of bibliographic databases Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection are presented. The list of scientific publications for the last thirty years is shortly analyzed according to the Scopus scientometric database, and more detailed one for the last five years (2015—2019) have been done. A comparison is made of the number of scientific papers regarding an earlier stage of a scientific career. It is shown that the publication activity of the studied scientist did not decrease with age. He publishes about ten scientific papers a year. However, only three of them are indexed in Scopus and four did so in WoS. The author explains this by the fact that these bibliographic abstract databases are focused primarily on English-language publications, and articles and monographs in other languages (Ukrainian, Russian) are not indexed correctly and adequately. The paper argues that the practice of evaluation of the scientific achievements of Ukrainian scientists (especially the older age), based only on scientometric indicators of international citation databases, is generally inappropriate and erroneous. Some problems were deduced that hinder the correct calculation of publications and links of domestic authors. The improper use of impact factors provokes the editors of journals to give the preference to the top-rated fields of science to the disservice of the publication of important results in other fields. Issues related to the differentiation of the contribution of each of the co-authors to the overall result are also considered. It is proposed for scientific journals published in Ukraine to use the CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) to describe the role and contribution of each participant in publications with a large team of authors.
