Presentation of Ukrainian Science in Scientometric Superstructure SciVal elsevier Corporation

Abstract: The article analyzes the state of representation of the Ukrainian science in scientometric superstructure SciVal Corporation Elsevier. The given analytical tool is based on the data of Scopus and has rich functionality which makes it useful for planning and analysis of scientific activity of a separate organization and a country. Offering a wide range of indicators which are generally accepted in the field of scientometrics, the superstructure SciVal allows administration of the institution to obtain a comprehensive assessment of scientific activity of an individual organization or a country, to identify promising trends and to visualize the analytical data which have been received. However nowadays there is incomplete information on the national science in SciVal, in comparison with the existing one in the Scopus system. Therefore, the use of scientometric superstructure SciVal for analyzing the state of national science, can not provide an objective picture of its condition in the statistical aspect. It seems appropriate to monitor the replenishment of data in the SciVal with the data represented in Scopus, and to raise the question about the use of the considered analytical superstructure in scientometric studies after having reached a certain executive level.

Keywords: bibliometric, scientometrics, scientometric database, estimation of scientific activity, SciVal, Scopus.
