Comparative analysis of university publication activity by Google Scholar (on example of leading czech and Germany Universities) = Сравнительный анализ публикационной активности университетов с помощью Google Scholar (на примере ведущих университетов Чехии и Германии)

Abstract

With the help of the Google Scholar search engine, we have studied in detail the aggregated publication structure of the leading universities in the Czech Republic and Germany. We have also classified these structures and identified structural changes in them for German universities. These shifts have been observed in the Free University of Berlin and Humboldt University, and they all occurred within 5 years in the first decade of the 21st century when the major university publication activity moved from the sphere of medical research to the area of social sciences and humanities. Prospects for further research are in the comparative analysis of university publication activities with the help of Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar facilitiesyesBelgorod State Universit
