On the level of coverage and citation of publications by mechanicians of the national academy of sciences of Ukraine in the Scopus database.

The paper analyzes the level of coverage and citation of publications by mechanicians of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU) in the Scopus database. Two groups of mechanicians are considered. One group includes 66 doctors of sciences of the S. P. Timoshenko Institute of Mechanics as representatives of the oldest institute of the NASU. The other group includes 34 members (academicians and corresponding members) of the Division of Mechanics of the NASU as representatives of the authoritative community of mechanicians in Ukraine. The results are presented for each scientist in the form of two indices—the total number of publications accessible in the database as the level of coverage of the scientist’s publications in this database and the h-index as the citation level of these publications. This paper may be considered to continue the papers [–] published in Prikladnaya Mekhanika (International Applied Mechanics) in 2005–2009 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
