The rating of citing of the political experts: results of 2015
Ukrainian Institute of Analysis and Management of policy summarized the results of monitoring of the citing Ukrainian political experts in 2015 in the media. Throughout the year, we monthly analyzed mentions about 125 leading political expert in terms of number, dynamics, topics and language of the citation.
The rating analyzes the digital indicators of the rating, prepared small annotations to each of the political scientists and the most cited statement of the month, analyzes the publications in different languages. Moreover, if the publication is published in several languages, the rating take into account only one link in the language, the publication in which Google gives higher (mostly in Russian), references to personal websites and blogs, forums and ads are not counted.
As a result, the leader of the rating became Vadim Karasev, director of the Institute of Global Strategies, which was cited 2892 times in media due the year - an average of 241 per a month. Second place went to Vladimir Fesenko - 2724 (227), the third - Ruslan Bortnik - 2388 (199), the fourth - Kost Bondarenko - 2457 (189), fifth - Mikhail Pogrebinsky - 2076 (173).
The top ten most cited experts also includes - Vladimir Kornilov (162 on average), Andrei Zolotarev (160), Taras Berezovets (156), Alexander Paliy (146), Andrei Piontkovsky (143).
The top 30 also includes: Vitaly Shabunin (120), Taras Chornovil (120), Alexei Guarani (106), Vitaly Bala (103), Carl Voloh (103), Victor Nebozhenko (100), Yevgeny Kiselyov (99), Oles Doni (98), Eugene Magda (97), Oleg Soskin (92), Olesya Yahno (92) Andrew Okara (86), Irina Bekeshkina (85), Oleg Voloshin (85), Sergei Taran (84), Anatoly Okstisyuk ( 82), Dmitry Dzhangirov (81), Pavlo Nuss (79), Igor Koziy (74), Alexey Golobutsky (70).
Also in the research, you can see the dynamics of quoting political analysts (qualitative and quantitative), the most popular topics of the past year in the media.
Rating does not claim to ultimate truth, or making political scientists or political assessment of the experts – each of them is unique professional, the results of which can not be measured only citation index.
