Main serials that support the quality of research in optoelectronics and optical systems and their characteristics

A comprehensive citation analysis-based methodology for selecting the world scientific serials to be included in information environment for researchers in a specific natural or technical science is featured. The case study was fulfilled for serials to be included in information environment for researchers in optoelectronics and optical systems (OOS) with the use of Journal Citation Reports (JCR) data. The indices taken for serials assessment were: total citedness of a serial in the selected journals specialized in OOS; the “discipline impact factor” (Hirst 1978) i.e. the impact factor which numerator is the level of a serial citedness not by all the JCR-indexed journals, but by the specialized ones (in OOS), the denominator being the number of papers in a cited serial; the level of total citedness of the specialized journals in a serial under assessment; the “discipline susceptibility factor” of a serial (Lazarev and Skalaban 2016; Lazarev et al. 2017), i.e. the number of citations to the mentioned specialized journals made in a serial being assessed divided by the number of papers in a citing serial. The citation window is one year, the publication window is “5+1” years (i.e. 5 previous years plus the year of citing). With the application of the outlined methodology, the selection of serials believed to be necessary to implement research in OOS has been accomplished, and after application of threshold values, merging and elimination some of the data, the list of 538 periodicals has been determined. The second pair of indices reflects the susceptibility of the serials being determined to the research field represented by cited specialized journals.本研究提出一种基于引文分析的综合方法论，用于遴选可纳入特定自然科学或技术科学领域研究者信息环境的全球学术连续出版物（scientific serials）。本研究以光电与光学系统（Optoelectronics and Optical Systems, OOS）领域研究者的信息环境收录连续出版物为案例对象，借助期刊引证报告（Journal Citation Reports, JCR）数据完成相关研究。用于评估连续出版物的指标包括：待评估连续出版物在OOS领域专业期刊中的总被引频次；学科影响因子（discipline impact factor）（Hirst, 1978）：即影响因子的分子为某连续出版物并非被所有JCR收录期刊引用，而是仅被OOS领域专业期刊引用的频次，分母为该被引连续出版物刊载的论文总数；待评估连续出版物所引用的专业期刊的总被引频次；学科易感因子（discipline susceptibility factor）（Lazarev & Skalaban, 2016; Lazarev et al., 2017）：即待评估连续出版物中引用上述专业期刊的总次数除以该引用期刊刊载的论文总数。引文窗口设定为1年，出版窗口为"5+1"年（即前5年加上引文发表当年）。应用上述方法论，本研究完成了OOS领域科研必需的连续出版物遴选工作；通过设定阈值、合并与剔除部分数据，最终确定了包含538种期刊的收录清单。第二组指标用于反映所遴选的连续出版物对以被引专业期刊为代表的研究领域的易感程度。
