An analytical system for evaluating academia units based on metrics provided by academic social network

作者：

Highlights：

• Data from social networks can be used for researchers and research units evaluation.

• Formal and natural sciences researchers more often use RG and have higher metrics.

• Different types of researchers (position, field) shouldn’t be directly compared.

• Free software allows developing of analytical tools for fast scientists evaluation.
