Studies on the Russian forest industry: Bibliometric analysis


TERRA ECONOMICUS, , Vol. 19 (no. 1),

The study was aimed at bibliometric analysis of publications on the Russian forest industry, including those presented in Russian and international databases. The author implements statistical methods of data analysis and visualization. Thematic samples cover the sources from the Scientific Electronic Library eLIBRARY.ru, Scopus and Web of Science databases from 1995 to 2020. Selected publications were analyzed to identify their narrow thematic orientation and application of modern economic and mathematical methods. The main conclusion is that the segment of Russian research on forest industry is poorly associated with the international scientific market, which generally corresponds to the conclusions that were drawn previously for larger subject areas. The majority of international publications are issued by representatives of well-known research centers. Nevertheless, due to the efforts of some Russian journals to enter international databases, as well as the efforts of some teams to produce high quality research that is competitive on the world market, the number of Russian studies indexed in international databases is growing. The article proposes to follow the strategy of human resources development aimed at fostering a new generation of researchers capable of immediate integration into the global scientific community.
