The letter to the Editor refers to the controversial research evaluation practice in Ukraine and which is based on counting the number of publications in journals included in selected citation databases, for instance Scopus. I have selected fifty journals in which Ukrainian scholars have written the largest number of articles and reviews for 2015–2019 (Scopus data). I found that 78% of these titles are journals of Ukrainian publishers, or Ukrainian translated journals. Accordingly, current Ukrainian evaluation practice leads to the higher chances of state recognition and funding being received mainly by institutions whose journals are already presented in citation databases, without assessing the scientific impact of research outputs.

有争议的国家期刊论文奖励做法

给编辑的信提到了乌克兰有争议的研究评估实践，该实践基于计算选定引文数据库（例如 Scopus）中包含的期刊的出版物数量。我选择了 2015-2019 年乌克兰学者撰写文章和评论数量最多的 50 种期刊（Scopus 数据）。我发现这些标题中有 78% 是乌克兰出版商的期刊，或乌克兰翻译的期刊。因此，当前的乌克兰评估实践导致更高的机会获得国家认可和资助，主要是那些期刊已经出现在引文数据库中的机构，而没有评估研究成果的科学影响。
