Two Moscow “scientifjc schools@ in economics Localization is important

How does it work? “autoreferats” PhDs Shorter version Indexed by search engines Not indexed 1. Split the text of “autoreferats” into many short phrases. 2. Send quests one by one to a search engine 3. Collect statistics of the search engine responses 4. Analyze the obtained statistical data
