Classification of Bibliographic References to Determine the Mutual Influence of Large Areas of Knowledge

Abstract

This paper discusses the structure of the list of the thematic categories of the Web of Science in connection with the incorrectness of calculations of the number of profiling publications contained in them, as well as a possible way out of the situation using bibliographic references. It is established that the comparison of citations between large sections of science confirms the strengthening of the mutual influence of the natural and social sciences and the humanities in interdisciplinarity of research.
