Abstract
The most common modern scientometric indicators are described in detail. The algorithms of search and analysis of journal publications in bibliographic databases Scopus and Russian Index of Science Citation (RISC) are provided. In the field of disaster medicine (DM) in 2005-2009, search modes revealed 3112 articles in Scopus worldwide, 1366 domestic articles in RISC, including 60.9% with full texts; 359 articles (or 26.3%) were available to users of the Scientific Electronic Library for free. The greatest number of articles on DM have been published by scientists from the USA (38 %), UK (5.4 %), Japan (5.2 %), Australia (4.3 %), and Canada (4.0 %). There is a low integration of Russian scientists in the world scientific community. Russia in terms of publications on DM (33 articles ) took 12th place in the world. In the period under review, (345 ± 15) articles on DM were published annually in the world, while in Russia - (152 ±6) articles. Typically, domestic articles contained redundant group of authors, with a low level of citations. In the global sample, 56.5 % of articles were cited, with the average 4.41 citations per article and Hirsch index 44, while in the domestic articles 26.7 %, 0.51 and 7, respectively. 42.8 % of the citations of domestic articles are self-citations. Organizations, journals and authors who published the largest number of articles on DM were identified, and the analysis of scientometric indicators of their publications was performed. Measures to improve the citation level of domestic articles are outlined.
