Abstract

This paper presents the results of the analysis of the causes for duplicate profiles in the Scopus database on the basis of a random sampling of profiles of 400 Russian authors and 400 organizations. We estimate the number of duplicate profiles and calculate the level of uncertainty that errors in bibliographic descriptions can contribute to the results of scientometric studies using the Scopus database. The analysis showed that in Scopus 76% of the organizations and 24% of the authors have duplicate profiles. In this regard, organizations lose an average of 17% of publications and authors lose 11%. The results of this study can be used in elaboration of the Scopus database and estimating the error level in the research assessment of institutions and individuals.

S？opus数据库中的错误对研究评估的影响

摘要

本文根据对400位俄罗斯作者和400个组织的个人资料进行随机抽样的结果，介绍了Scopus数据库中重复资料的原因分析结果。我们估计重复配置文件的数量，并计算不确定性水平，即书目描述中的错误会对使用Scopus数据库的科学计量学研究的结果有所贡献。分析表明，在Scopus中，有76％的组织和24％的作者有重复的个人资料。在这方面，组织平均损失17％的出版物，而作者损失11％。这项研究的结果可用于完善Scopus数据库并估算机构和个人的研究评估中的错误水平。
