In addition to substantiating the problem\u2019s urgency, the article contains a brief critical outline of the main scientometric parameters and their application in practice in Russia. To evaluate this, 283 people from leading universities in Russia (included in Program 5-100) were questioned. As the study showed, faculties of Russian universities understand the specifics of scientometrics, relate to it relatively positively, and over the past years have been able to adapt to the new requirements of the administration regarding implementing scientometric tasks and standards. The higher the position and scholarly qualification of a respondent, the more complete the knowledge about scientometrics. Scholars in the humanities know and relate comparatively better to scientometrics than representatives of technical and general scientific specialties.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/publications9020022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,27]],"date-time":"2021-05-27T23:16:46Z","timestamp":1622157406000},"page":"22","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Russian University Teachers\u2019 Perceptions of Scientometrics"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0246-7945","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrei V.","family":"Grin\u00ebv","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Humanities, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU), Polytechnicheskaya 29, 195251 St. Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7956-4647","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daria S.","family":"Bylieva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Science, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU), Polytechnicheskaya 29, 195251 St. Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Victoria V.","family":"Lobatyuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Philosophy, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU), Polytechnicheskaya 29, 195251 St. Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"45","article-title":"The Political Power of the Algorithm","volume":"1","author":"Kramsch","year":"2020","journal-title":"Technol.
