These journals are chosen as the object of analysis due to the fact that the Science Index calculation is now performed according to the new methodology with normalization according to the RSCI core. The authors focus on the positioning of socio-humanitarian journals within the national publishing competition, taking into account theoretically possible and actual changes in scientometric indicators in dynamics.</p><p>The study is based on the data of the analysis of publication activity of more than 130 Russian journals presented on the elibrary.ru platform from 2012–2021 before and after the change in the methodology of Science Index integral index calculation and subsequent recalculation. In the course of the study, the journals were ranked according to both the current 2021 indicators before and after the change in calculation methodology, and the retrospective indicators predicted using three time-series forecasting methods (ARIMA, nnetar and ETS) before and after the change in calculation methodology. The results of this study form an idea of the “attention demanding” impact of the implementation of the new Science Index calculation methodology, which significantly limits the number of journals considered for citation calculation, on the positions of individual publications and scientific fields and changes in the balance of the Russian scientific world as a whole.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Целью данного исследования является оценка степени влияния новой методики расчета интегрального показателя научного журнала Science Index на изменение позиций российских социально-гуманитарных научных журналов, индексируемых в международных базах данных Web of Science и / или Scopus, относительно прошлых результатов и тенденций. Данные журналы были выбраны объектом анализа ввиду того, что расчет Science Index теперь производится по новой методике с нормировкой по ядру РИНЦ. Авторы сосредотачиваются на позиционировании социально-гуманитарных журналов в рамках национальной издательской конкуренции, учитывая теоретически возможное и фактическое изменение наукометрических показателей в динамике.</p><p>Исследование базируется на данных анализа публикационной активности более чем 130 российских журналов, представленных на платформе elibrary.ru, в период с 2012–2021 гг. до и после изменения методики расчета интегрального показателя Science Index и последующего перерасчета. В ходе исследования журналы были проранжированы, учитывая изменения методики расчета, как по текущим показателям 2021 г., так и по спрогнозированным. Прогнозирование показателей проводилось по ретроспективным данным с применением трех методов прогнозирования временных рядов (ARIMA, nnetar и ETS). Результаты проведенного исследования формируют представление о влиянии внедрения новой методологии расчета показателя Science Index, которое в значительной мере ограничивает количество журналов, учитываемых для расчета цитируемости, на позиции отдельных изданий и научных направлений, а также влияет на изменение баланса в российском научном мире в целом.</p><p>Статья написана по материалам доклада, представленного на 11-й Международной научно-практической конференции «Научное издание международного уровня – 2023: достижения, реалии, перспективы», которая прошла 23–26 мая 2023 г. в Российском государственном аграрном университете – МСХА им. К.А. Тимирязева (РГАУ – МСХА).
