Библиометрическое Равновесие
[Bibliometric Equilibrium]

Abstract

A general concept of bibliometric equilibrium is introduced and a model describing its special case is proposed. The model considers a set of authors who choose strategies of submitting their papers to a set of journals, taking into account the probabilities of accepting the papers and the remuneration they receive. The size of rewards depends on journal rankings formed as a result of the decisions made. A bibliometric equilibrium in such a system (which is a modification of the Nash equilibrium) exists under natural assumptions. As a special case, rewards and citation strategies may depend on a priori perceptions about the quality of journals. The conditions under which the equilibrium corresponds to these perceptions are discussed. A number of directions for the development of the theory of publication systems, within which authors, journal editors and research coordinators interact, are outlined.
