Abstract

The barbaric war of Russia against Ukraine is accompanied by the death of tens of thousands of people. Millions of Ukrainians were forced to leave their places of residence, hundreds of thousands had their homes completely destroyed, and a large part of the country's enterprises, energy and transport infrastructure was disabled. This war violates all international laws and, in fact, is a challenge to the entire civilized world. Its causes and consequences are discussed, analyzed, and considered by society and experts. Scientists do not ignore it either. The increase in publications on the topic of war and the uniqueness of this kind of research caused the desire to map the corresponding thematic landscape and identify the main trends. The methodological basis of analysis in the presented study was in-built Scopus instruments, Bibliometrix R package and Biblioshiny App, InfraNodus. The study includes two sections, namely, time section (compares publications for the entire period of the Russian armed aggression against Ukraine (2014–2023), as well as before and after the full-scale invasion (2020–2021 and 2022–2023), and geographical section (compares publications of international and Ukrainian scientific communities). The dynamics of publications, their structure by subject areas, countries, affiliations, authors, and sponsors were analyzed. According to the results of cluster, sentiment and narrative analysis, there is a shift in substantive emphasis after February 24, 2022 towards the interpretation of events as a full-scale war (52% of publications as a whole and 60% of publications by authors with Ukrainian affiliation), taking into account the consequences for the global energy, food, and other types of security. The identified structural gaps in the analyzed works create the basis for developing directions for overcoming the consequences of the war in various areas and post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.

俄罗斯武装侵略乌克兰在科学著作中的报道:文献计量学分析

俄罗斯对乌克兰的野蛮战争伴随着成千上万人的死亡。数百万乌克兰人被迫离开他们的居住地，数十万人的家园被完全摧毁，该国的大部分企业、能源和运输基础设施被破坏。这场战争违反了所有国际法，实际上是对整个文明世界的挑战。社会和专家对其原因和后果进行了讨论、分析和考虑。科学家们也没有忽视它。关于战争主题的出版物的增加以及这类研究的独特性使人们希望绘制相应的专题景观图并确定主要趋势。本研究的分析方法基础是内置Scopus工具、Bibliometrix R软件包和Biblioshiny App、InfraNodus。该研究包括两个部分，即时间部分(比较俄罗斯武装侵略乌克兰整个时期(2014-2023年)以及全面入侵前后(2020-2021年和2022-2023年)的出版物，地理部分(比较国际和乌克兰科学界的出版物)。对出版物的动态、按学科领域、国家、隶属关系、作者和赞助者划分的结构进行了分析。根据聚类分析、情绪分析和叙事分析的结果，考虑到对全球能源、粮食和其他类型安全的影响，2022年2月24日之后的实质性重点转向将事件解释为全面战争(52%的出版物和60%的乌克兰作者的出版物)。在分析的作品中确定的结构性差距为在各个地区克服战争后果和乌克兰战后重建的发展方向奠定了基础。
