Abstract
The article suggests a new scientometric indicator, viz the index of a scientist’s publication activity and the relevance of his or her publications (the PAIVPU index, or the PA-index). The author presents her formula of determining the PAIVPU index, considers parameters of its regularities, recommends how to do a non-automatic calculation of the index, and describes a field where it may be used. In the author’s view, an annual monitoring of the PAIVPU index should stimulate scientists to be more active in publishing their works.
