Validity of Scientometric Analysis of Medical Research Output
The aim of this paper is to point out the errors in scientometric analysis of an author's work, as well as the inconsistency of Google Scholars when performing such analyzes. Development of information technology has led to the development of the scientometric analyzes, which already have great significance for many decisions in the academic medical community, and represents a cross section of work of an author. Scientometric indices in the medical community become a tool in selecting the management of institutions, as well as membership in many academies. This paper should be a basis, as well as guidance in the development of a better and more accurate algorithm for more accurate analysis of the work of authors, and should also point the importance of accurate citations during writing scientific papers. The lack of selectivity of Google Scholar, and the possible individual manipulation of content, implies the need for further development of these platforms, so that the scientometric analysis can become a valid tool in the academic community.
