Polytechnic Scientists Improve Their Skills Of Working With Web Of Science

From June, 2 to June, 5, and from June, 8 to June, 12, the scientists improved their skills on using the Web Of Science platform which is intended for formal evaluation of scientific activity results and includes certain scientometric indicators.

In particular, the Web Of Science allows to determine the number of documents published by a scientist, an establishment, a country, the number of quotations and the editions they were made in, and automatically calculate the h-index and average quotation rate. There are also tools to help determine how these data look in comparison with average world levels, and whether the works are quoted more often, what kinds of cooperation are more successful, what establishments are more productive and efficient in joint projects realization, why a certain establishment has better scores, what experiences should be borrowed etc.

The organizers of the webinars were the Clarivate Analytics Company. Iryna Tykhonova, an expert in informational and analytic sources and teaching of the company, became the lecturer for the course. Registered participants could receive certificates after meeting the main requirement, that is to be present at 90% of the lectures.

Online classes were held in such topics as:

  • - The possibilities of the InCities analytical tool;
  • - What will we see in the new interface of the Web Of Science Core Collection;
  • - The criteria and procedure of gathering the publications for the Web Of Science Core Collection;
  • - The account of an establishment in the Web Of Science: how to create, edit and use it;
  • - Publications in international editions.

The academic staff of ERIAC became the participants of the webinars, among them were the Director of ERIAC, PhD in Engineering, Associate Professor Oleksandr Zyma, PhD in Engineering, Associate Professor of the Department of Architecture and Town Planning Iryna Usenko, the Head of the Department of Descriptive Geometry and Graphics, PhD in Engineering, Associate Professor Oleh Vorontzov, PhD in Engineering, Associate Professor of the Department of Reinforced Concrete and Stone Constructions and Strength of Materials Anton Hasenko, PhD in Engineering, Associate Professor of the Department of Highways, Geodesy, Land Management and Rural Buildings Lina Hasenko, PhD in Engineering, Assistant of the Department of Metal, Wood and Plastic Constructions Serhii Hudz, Assistant Professor of the Department of Descriptive Geometry and Graphics Vladyslav Boiko, PhD in Engineering, Associate Professor of the Department of Descriptive Geometry and Graphics Olha Kodak, PhD in Engineering, Associate Professor of the Department of Metal, Wood and Plastic Constructions Andrii Dmytrenko, PhD in Engineering, Associate Professor of the Department of Descriptive Geometry and Graphics Valerii Usenko, PhD in Engineering, Associate Professor of the Department of Reinforced Concrete and Stone Constructions and Strength of Materials Nataliia Pinchuk, PhD in Engineering, Associate Professor of the Department of Metal, Wood and Plastic Constructions Pavlo Mytrofanov, PhD in Engineering, Professor of the Department of Metal, Wood and Plastic Constructions Oleksandr Shkurupii, PhD in Engineering, Associate Professor of the Department of Construction Technologies Rasulula Ahmednabiev, PhD in Engineering, Associate Professor of the Department of Architecture and Town Planning Olena Filonenko, PhD in Engineering, Associate Professor of the Department of Architecture and Town Planning Nataliia Mahas, PhD in Engineering, Associate Professor of the Department of Architecture and Town Planning Alina Zyhun.
