ALGORITHM TO CALCULATE INTEGRATED EFFICIENCY INDEX OF UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC STAFF AND RESEARCHER PUBLICATION ACTIVITY

The PURPOSE of the paper is creation of an algorithm for calculating an integrated efficiency index of university academic staff and researcher publication activity. METHODS. The rating of academic staff and researchers is necessary for maintaining the appropriate university status. Its obligatory condition is research work, particularly publication activity which includes publication of articles and monographs in the journals with a high impact factor as well as registration of a patent and acquisition of a copyright certificate. The article lists all basic indices of publication activity including the total number of articles and references, Hirsch index, impact-factor, etc., which are taken from the scientific electronic library (elibrary), data bases Scopus and Web of Science. It is proposed to improve the rating system of academic staff and researcher publication activity efficiency by developing an algorithm to calculate an integrated index which is based on elibrary indices with addition of some criteria - number of monographs, intellectual deliverables, Scopus and Web of science criteria. The aspects are divided into groups for convenient calculation of the integrated index: number of publications, number of citations, Hirsch index, intellectual deliverables. CONCLUSIONS. The main advantages of the developed algorithm for the calculation of the integrated efficiency index of university academic staff and researcher publication activity are described. The article stresses its efficiency and reasonability for the comparative analysis of publication activity of individual employees as well as departments and university as a whole. It is proposed to use the created algorithm as a basis for the development of a program to calculate the rating of university academic staff and researchers according to their publication activity.
