Metrics Guide

How to read the local participation metrics and research analytics of the archive.

Total Talks (Общее число докладов)

The total count of presentation records mapped to a scholar. This represents the total observed participation in the indexed conferences (Zograf Readings and Roerich Readings) since 2004.

Series Overlap (Пересечение серий)

Indicates the cohort of scholars who participate in both the Zograf Readings (St. Petersburg) and Roerich Readings (Moscow) series. This overlap metric measures the geographic and academic integration between the two primary scientific communities.

Newcomer Rate (Доля новых участников)

The percentage of speakers in a given conference year or session who have no recorded talks in any prior years of that series. A higher newcomer rate highlights active academic renewal, open recruitment, or shifting research networks.

Institution Bridge (Институциональные мосты)

Identifies speakers and sessions that link different organizations. This highlights structural collaboration or mobility, mapping researchers who hold multiple historical affiliations or bridge distinct centers (e.g. St. Petersburg University and Institute of Oriental Manuscripts).

Theme Diversity (Тематическое разнообразие)

Measures how presentations are distributed across different scientific themes (Academic History, Linguistics, Philosophy, Art, History) within a conference or for an institution. A diverse distribution indicates a broad multidisciplinarity, while a low diversity indicates high specialization.

Video Coverage (Видео-покрытие)

The percentage of presentation records that have direct video links (e.g., YouTube recordings) mapped. High video coverage enhances the transparency, visibility, and open accessibility of the scholarly presentations.
