Monitoring of downloads of Belgorod State University (Russia) scientists' publications by scientists from other countries

The article presents a review on the functioning of the ResearchGate network and the growth of its popularity both from the literary data and from the experiments in the Google Scholar search engine. It describes a unique weekly monitoring experiments of downloads of Belgorod State University (Russia) scientists' publications by scientists from other countries (starting on 11.01.2015 through 20.12.2015), and it is shown that scientists from the United States (about 10,000 downloads in 2015) and China (about 6,000 downloads in 2015) are most interested in these publication

Aggregate ranking of the world's leading universities

The paper presents a methodology for calculating the aggregate global university ranking (Aggregated Global University Ranking, or AGUR), which consists of an automated presentation of the comparable lists of names for different universities from particular global university rankings and a simple procedure of aggregating particular global university rankingsyesBelgorod State Universit

Multicriterial threshold binarization of clustered matrices as exemplified by export sector’s competitiveness of the Subsaharan African economies

The paper offers the methodology of the matrix clustering consisting of multicriteria threshold binarization of the initial matrix of states of objects and clustering the resulting binary matrix into submatrices with different densities of zero and unit elements. Using hand calculation, the methodology was fine-tuned on the export competitiveness indicators of all the Sub-Saharan African countries for the Fresh Food sector of the Trade Competitiveness Map databas

Analysis of regression relationship between the number of organisations of the Russian Regional innovation infrastructure and the university Infrastructure and the gross regional product

We took databases of the National Information and Analytical Center for monitoring innovation infrastructure of scientific and technological activities and regional innovation systems and the Web portal of innovation and business information support “Innovations and entrepreneurship”, Webometrics database according to rankings of all Russian universities, as well as the database of the Russian Federal State Statistics Service on the gross regional product for all regions of Russia as an empirical basis in order to determine the regression relationship between the number of organisations of the regional innovation and university infrastructure and the gross regional produc

Monitoramento de downloads de publicações de cientistas da Universidade Estadual de Belgorod (Rússia) por cientistas de outros países

The article presents a review on the functioning of the ResearchGate network and the growth of its popularity both from the literary data and from the experiments in the Google Scholar search engine. It describes a unique weekly monitoring experiments of downloads of Belgorod State University (Russia) scientists' publications by scientists from other countries (starting on 11.01.2015 through 20.12.2015), and it is shown that scientists from the United States (about 10,000 downloads in 2015) and China (about 6,000 downloads in 2015) are most interested in these publications. As a result we see very uneven inverse-square distribution of Belgorod State University publications by countries of the world. The total number of countries appeared to be 91.El artículo presenta una revisión sobre el funcionamiento de la red ResearchGate y el crecimiento de su popularidad tanto a partir de los datos literarios como de los experimentos en el motor de búsqueda Google Scholar. Describe experimentos únicos de monitoreo semanales de descargas de publicaciones de científicos de la Universidad Estatal de Belgorod (Rusia) por científicos de otros países (desde el 11.01.2015 hasta el 20.12.2015), y se muestra que científicos de los Estados Unidos (aproximadamente 10.000 descargas) en 2015) y China (aproximadamente 6.000 descargas en 2015) están más interesados en estas publicaciones. Como resultado, vemos una distribución muy desigual de casillas inversas de las publicaciones de la Universidad Estatal de Belgorod por países del mundo.

Zeeman effect of the hyperfine structure levels in hydrogenlike ions

The fully relativistic theory of the Zeeman splitting of the $1s$ hyperfine structure levels in hydrogenlike ions is considered for the magnetic field magnitude in the range from 1 to 10 T. The second-order corrections to the Breit -- Rabi formula are calculated and discussed. The results can be used for a precise determination of nuclear magnetic moments from $g$ factor experiments.Comment: 13 page

Methodological aspects of assessing regional publication activity and citations: the case of the RF central federal District Universities

The article focuses on calculations to assess contribution made by University publication activity and citations indicators to the regional integral indicator of publication activity and citations for Voronezh Region, Ivanovo Region, and Ryazan Region. It shows that relative indicators are more significant in calculations of this kind therefore regions with a large number of Universities have no advantage. The article offers a triangular matrix of ratios expressing how much one regional integral indicator of publication activity and citations exceeds the other, which was calculated for the RF Central Federal District regions. Ratios range up to 3.47. It is concluded that the offered triangular matrix of ratios can be useful for arbitrary rankings of items by values of some indicator.Key words: publication activity, citations, regional integral indicator of publication activity and citations, RSCI, RF Central Federal District, a triangular matrix of ratios for arbitrary rankings

Evaluation of the Innovation Potential of the Regions of the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation

The present article analyzes the current approaches to the evaluation of innovation potential of the individual territories of the Russian Federation. The technique of evaluation of the innovation potential on the example of the Central Federal District regions by means of the functional model of evaluation is given consideration to. The algorithm of the innovation potential evaluation proposed by the authors includes six groups of indexes integrating twenty-eight individual indicator
