Publication Activity in Infographics (Part 8): A Comparative Analysis of a Two-Year Period (2023 and 2024)

Continuing a series of studies on the analysis of the publication activity of the “Agrarian Science” journal, this paper presents the results of a comparative analysis of data over a two year period (2023–2024). The study was conducted using statistical data from the scientific electronic library eLIBRARY.RU. Key metrics characterizing the authors were analyzed: the average Hirsch index, the average age of authors, and the number of unique and new authors. A comparative ranking of the “Agrarian Science” journal within the reference group “Agriculture and Forestry” was performed, and its position among various journal groups (the Russian Science Citation Index core, RSCI, White List, and the list of the Higher Attestation Commission) was assessed. Co-authorship indicators were examined in detail, and top-10 author rankings based on various scientometric criteria are presented. Based on the findings, the strategic necessity of targeted involvement of highly qualified research and teaching staff for publishing in the journal is substantiated. This is identified as a key factor for further enhancing the scientific level of publications, strengthening the journal’s reputation, and improving its bibliometric indicators.
