Abstract
Over the past few decades, quantitative methods of evaluating scientific work, including the citation index of research publications, have been finding expanding applications. The citation index underlies not only the evaluation of the efficiency of individual scientists but also the rating of scientific editions. The authors share their experience in bibliometric research based on the data of the science and technology network STN International.
