from Google translate:
Today is September 5th - the birthday of the Sci-Hub project and the project is already 10 years old.
In honor of such a round date, two million new articles have been added to the server today, specifically 2,337,229.
What is inside?
Most of all new documents are from Elsevier publishing house - about half a million. Springer is in second place with three hundred thousand articles, Wiley is slightly behind him. In principle, nothing surprising, these are the largest publishers today. But in general, there are more than a hundred different publishing houses.
Elsevier BV 508,566
Springer 305,690
Wiley 201,556
IEEE 169,849
MDPI AG 139,788
American Chemical Society 109,970
Informa UK Limited 103,820
De Gruyter 80.346
University of Chicago Press 71,098
AMPCo 61,394
SAGE Publications 60.359
IOP Publishing 53,736
Association for Computing Machinery 50,173
Which authors have been the most productive? In the top of the authors' surnames, the Chinese with the surnames Wang, Li and Zhang are in the lead:
Wang 33,236
Li 28,550
Zhang 28,127
Liu 21,770
Chen 18,575
Yang 12.407
Wu 9,574
Kim 9.044
Zhao 8.467
Xu 8,833
And what about Russian surnames? The Ivanovs published only 400 articles, with 266 articles being for men and 134 for women. With the Petrovs, the picture is similar: 96 articles were published by men and 68 by women. According to statistics, Smirnov and Popov are among the most common Russian surnames, everything is exactly the same here: with the surname Smirnov 96 publications, with the surname Smirnov 44, with the surname Popov 139 publications, with the surname Popova 54.
Such statistics may indicate discrimination against women in our science. It is not possible to verify whether it exists in foreign science, since foreign surnames do not contain gender characteristics.
What are the research topics? To determine the topic of the article, I used the Scopus database, which lists the topics of each journal. In general, the base is, of course, strange, the principle of classification of sciences is not very clear. But in general, it turns out that medicine is leading in terms of the number of articles:
398,548 Medicine
184,598 Engineering Sciences
171,929 Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology
161,897 Social sciencies
161,299 Physics and Astronomy
153,263 Materials Science
143,748 Chemistry
107,171 Computer science
105,952 Ecology
91,907 Humanitarian sciences
89,494 Agricultural sciences
87,601 Chemical Technology
65,280 Maths
62.053 Planetology
44,210 Energy
43.036 Immunology and Microbiology
37,173 Pharmacology, toxicology and pharmaceuticals
31,487 Psychology
28,642 Neurosciences
23,449 Nursing
21,386 Business, management and accounting
21,142 Economics and finance
17,247 Medical professions
13.406 Veterinary
10.667 Decision theory
7.310 Dentistry
It would also be interesting to check on what topics the articles are mainly published by women authors and on what topics are men. I will do this later.
