Using the Co-Authority Graph for the Thematic Search of Conferences on Scientometric Data

Abstract

Thematic information search is used in various fields of activity. The use of thematic analysis tools to search for conferences allows you to increase the completeness of the search and coverage of conferences, helps to expand the circle of scientific communication of young scientists and the formation of closer scientific connections. The search algorithms developed by the authors use the co-authorship graph and the reference set of authors. The set can be obtained using methods of thematic search of experts or based on given samples. The developed algorithms are language insensitive and take into account the authority of conferences in the scientific community. Approbation was carried out on the data of the scientometric system IAS ISTINA.
