The author discusses several aspects of analyzing publishing activities of young researchers. The study goal is to organize consistent engagement of young professionals into organizational research and development projects. She emphasizes that engagement of young scientists, support of their R&D and innovative projects are among the most significant priorities in the national strategy. The study subject is the data on publications authored or coauthored by young researchers analyzed by the organizational research vectors (reference groups). Both statistical methods and multicriterial analysis are applied; a method to accomplish positional assessment of publication activity is suggested. This methodology embraces the criteria and scales oriented toward automated data mining within existing database tables. The information bases of research organizations and exterior information resources comprising digital eLIBRARY, RISC’s bibliographic science citation databaseб and The White List information complex will support the program modules to be developed. The test case of suggested algorithms and solutions is discussed.
