Citation analysis of publications of NASU mechanicians in the database of the Thomson Reuters Institute for Scientific Information

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

The paper performs a citation analysis of publications of mechanicians of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU) based on information tools developed by the Thomson Reuters Institute for Scientific Information. Two groups of mechanicians are considered: representatives of the S. P. Timoshenko Institute of Mechanics of the NASU (NASU members, heads of departments) and members (academicians) of the NASU Division of Mechanics. Three elements of the Citation Report (Results Found, Citation Index (Sum of the Times Cited), h-index) are presented for each scientist. This paper may be considered as a follow-up on the papers [6–11] published by Prikladnaya Mekhanika (International Applied Mechanics) in 2005–2009
