Abstract
The approach, methods and algorithms for defining the scientific level of an assigned paper array are expounded. A scientific level is defined, both with respect to specific subject areas (Web of Science Categories), and as some integral indicator with respect to the entire spectrum of topics that correspond to the papers from an assigned array. Web of Science (WoS) indexed papers as well as the most important data elements that describe specific papers (journals, in which they are published; the workplaces of authors, research funds that supported these papers, etc.) are used as initial data. The following now classical bibliometric indicators are used as initial indicators: the number of publications, the impact factor of a journal, and the aggregate impact factor of a WoS subject category. Indicators derived from classical ones are introduced. The calculation of a scientific level is based on the joint application of derived and classical bibliometric indicators. The examples of the results from calculating a scientific level are presented.
