Citation prediction of Russian journals articles in psychology in WoS by articles parameters and eLibrary and PsyJournals altmetrics

The study identifies citation predictors of Russian scientific publications on psychology in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) and compares them with citation predictors in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI). Four groups of indicators of various types are considered: formal attributes of the article (12 parameters), article visibility parameters on the eLibrary (3 parameters) and PsyJournals (2 parameters) internet portals, showing the availability of the article text to potential readers, and attributes of the author’s method of scientific citation (3 parameters). Special attention is paid to citation attributes as qualitative characteristics of the author’s way of working on his own scientific text and constructing a dialogue (in the form of citation) with other researchers.
