Corpus bibliometric aspects of Slavic studies in Russian-language scholarly electronic resources in the context of categories of historical knowledge

The article analyses the task of measuring completeness, representativeness, and balance when creating a corpus of Russian-language texts on Slavic literature. The criteria for a disciplinary corpus can be calculated using a bibliometric and scientometric approaches. Different categories of historical knowledge can denote phenomena comparable to the themes and problems of research in Slavic studies. A total of 76 historical categories have been tested (historical analogy, historical memory, historical possibility, historical time, historical personality, etc.). All historical categories associated with Slavic studies or with Rusins have been ranked according to the frequency of search results of full-text resources in scholar.google.ru and academia.edu. The following indicators have been identified and analysed: representation of Slavic studies in a number of other regional studies disciplines; joint occurrence of various linguistic disciplines with Slavic studies; correlation and distribution of the category of historical knowledge in texts with Slavic themes. The author has studied the frequency distribution of the connection between historical categories and Slavic studies and shown the specificity of the influence of Slavic subjects on different categories and functioning of historical consciousness in the Slavic academic community. He concludes that corpus balance can be considered at four levels within the possibility of creating: 1) a philological corpus with texts in various areas of linguistics and literary criticism; 2) a historiographic corpus with historical texts of various themes and genres in one language; 3) a regional corpus with texts on various regional disciplines; 4) a disciplinary corpus only on the subject of Slavic studies.
