Specialization
Center for Scientific Information Analysis and Monitoring (CSIAM) is acting within the Institute of Informatics and Automation problems, NAS RA starting from January, 2010. CSIAM is composed of three subdivisions:
- Research and Forecast;
- Data Collection and Elaboration;
- Statistics and Analysis.
These subdivisions study the issues of science and technology development, implement monitoring of the field, prepare statistical and analytical data, as well as make predictions and assessments of the field of science in the Republic of Armenia.

Scientometrics aims at objectively characterizing science development by statistical analysis of scientific information. Scientometrics is the study of measuring and analyzing science, technology and innovation. Major research issues include the measurement of impact, reference sets of articles to investigate the impact of journals and institutes, understanding of scientific citations, mapping scientific fields and the production of indicators for use in policy and management contexts. This is intended to measure the efficiency of scientific field, especially in deciding financial, strategic and scientific priorities.
Modern scientometrics is mostly based on the work of Derek J. de Solla Price and Eugene Garfield. The latter created the Science Citation Index and founded the Institute for Scientific Information which is heavily used for scientometric analysis.

Current Projects
Starting form 2013 CSIAM jointly with the Russian Scintific Electronic Library (eLibrary) is implementing the project “Assessment of Scientific Activity of Scientific Ties between the RA and RF Researchers Based on Citation Databases”. Within the project the bibliometric description of the Armenian journals for 2007-2012 was prepared. We have made data cleaning for the Armenian authors and organizations registered in E-Library. Dozens of Armenian journals were also registered and indexed in eLibrary databases.
We have also implemented a bibliometric research of joint Armenian-Russian scientific grants organized by the State Committee of Sciences of the RA and the Russian Foundation for Humanities Scientific and the Russian Foundation for Basic Research.
For this purpose we have used three databases: AINC, RINC and WOS.
CSIAM together with some other Armenian, Georgian and European institutions and universities is a partner in one of the TEMPUS projects “ARMAZEG: Life-long Learning in Transcaucasia: E-Learning”. The aim of this project is to import and develop the idea of E-Learning in partner institutions.
