The Algorithm for Refining a Framework of Scientific and Technological Field in Bibliometric Databases on the Example of Synchrotron, Neutron Research and Development

Abstract

To assess the publication effectiveness of the Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Synchrotron and Neutron Research and Research Infrastructure for 2019–2027 (Program), its developers proposed the special search query in Web of Science Core Collection (WoS). The purpose of the study is to determine effective approaches to adaptation of the search query providing the most complete coverage of the Program topics publications and applicable to international and domestic databases. In publications from applications for participation in the Program, we identified keywords to validate the search query. We used keyword search in WoS, Scopus, core of Russian Index of Science Citation, identification of publications by using WoS and Scopus APIs, graph building in VOSviewer, Yet Another Keyword Extractor text mining method. On the basis of empirical data, a multistage algorithm was proposed to the formation of a specific scientific and technological field collection of publications in bibliometric databases.
