COMPARISON OF THE MAIN INDICATORS OF SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY OF THE MILITARY MEDICAL ACADEMY S.M. KIROV AMONG HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS OF MEDICAL DIRECTION

One of the most controversial topics not only in Russian scientometry, but also in the daily practice of scientific medical organizations is the analysis of article lists of literature (citations) to determine the rating of a scientific institution and the rating of scientists. Scientometric indicators are increasingly used by the governing and controlling bodies of the Russian Federation to assess the quality of scientific work of organizations and individual specialists. Quantitative analysis of the success of scientific and teaching activities is able to determine the quality and efficiency of the organization of higher education institutions, the use of automated data collection and analysis systems speeds up the above process, making it easier and more objective. This article examines the indicators of the S. M. Kirov Military Medical Academy among higher educational institutions of medical direction of the Russian Federation. This is achieved by processing two groups of indicators for the entire existence of the University and for the last 5 years as of January 1 of this year. According to the main scientometric indicator - the Hirsch index, the Academy is on the 3rd place among medical higher education institutions in Russia. Scientometric indicators are citation indicators. The use of scientometric indicators in most cases allows the most adequate and objective assessment of progressive and regressive fields of science, to identify institutions that are active in research, to encourage them, and to analyze the implementation of the tasks set by various departments and ministries. The use of this method adequately reflects the scientific activities of medical schools among themselves and is a correct method of comparison.
