Abstract

The subject of the paper is the scientometric data of information-analytical systems. The purpose of this paper is to analyze of existing methods for assessing academic institutions based on scientific activities and develop the approach to ranking the academic institutions using the science data of the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS CC) and Scopus, according to the peculiarities of the evaluated objects. Results. Academic rankings are an integral part of modern methods of evaluating scientific activity. Their results are used by agencies to manage the quality of activities, based on which the academic organization may receive certain preferences: funding, students, post-graduate students, research and teaching staff, academic reputation and others. Improving methods for assessing scientific activity is an urgent task. The rating assessment must be objective. On that condition, the institution may schedule appropriate measures to improve the quality of educational and scientific activities, which ensures better performance. The paper proposes the approach to the ranking of academic institutions based on bibliometric methods according to their limitations and peculiarities of the evaluated objects. Conclusions. The proposed approach provides an increase in the information base for the study of document flows; increases the objectivity of the assessment due to the use of more indicators; takes into account the limitations and disadvantages of bibliometric methods and features of the evaluated objects. The rationing approach metric can be the basis for the general institution rating after revision. The main areas for revision are mandatory accounting of the employee number of an academic institution; calculation of metrics based on the number of original publications.
