English abstract

The article presents a review of scientific papers on assessing the scientific impact of research in social sciences and humanities using bibliometrics. The review shows that in comparison with the natural sciences, the use of bibliometrics in the social sciences and humanities has its features. This is due to the fact that scientists in these disciplines actively use in their scientific work different languages, types of publications and citation practices. Researchers, managers and founders who use bibliometrics to assess the scientific impact of social sciences and humanities research should focus on specific assessment tasks and avoid the use of general bibliometric indicators.

Ukrainian abstract

У статті представлено огляд наукової літератури з оцінювання наукового впливу досліджень у соціальних та гуманітарних дисциплінах за допомогою бібліометрії. Огляд показує, що у порівнянні з природничими науками, використання бібліометрії в соціальних та гуманітарних науках має свої суттєві особливості. Передусім, це пов'язано з тим, що вчені у цих дисциплінах активно використовують у своїй науковій роботі різні мови, типи публікацій та практики цитування. Дослідники, управлінці та грантодавці, які використовують бібліометрію для оцінки наукового впливу соціогуманітарних досліджень повинні орієнтуватися на конкретні завдання оцінювання та уникати використання загальних бібліометричних показників.
