Identification of Scientific Collaborations: Information Model and Quality Features

Abstract

The paper considers the problem of constructing a system for evaluating the research activities of the scientific and pedagogical staff (SPS) in a higher educational institution. The analysis of the SPS publication activity in the Nosov Magnitogorsk State Technical University is carried out. The concept of publication collaboration and its comparison with the definition and type of the graph is presented. The research revealed some signs of false collaborations and formed the structure of the array for the collaboration of two scientific and pedagogical workers. Based on the description of the array, an adjacency matrix is constructed, the components of which are its elements. As a result of applying the theory of fuzzy sets, the structure of the linguistic variable Collaboration is determined for defining the type of collaboration and built the membership function for one of the components of the variable.
