“SEISMIC TECHNOLOGIES” IN THE CONTEXT OF RUSSIAN JOURNALS ON EARTH SCIENCES: AN EXTENSIVE 10-YEAR BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS

Abstract

The paper presents a ten-year bibliometric study of “Seismic Technologies” journal published by Trofimuk Institute of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics. In the study we used both generally accepted  bibliometric methods including citation analysis, detection of a share of uncited papers, distribution of citations per  years, analysis of the level of internationalization of the journal, as well as rather new approaches for  analysis of publication activity and geographic distribution of editorial board members. The obtained  findings related to “Seismic Technologies” were compared with relevant indices of the most ranked Russian  journals on Earth sciences to reveal the journal’s position among other Russian serials and to detect its possibilities to be selected in international citation databases.
