# One look at the rating of scientific publications and corresponding toy-model

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a toy-model for scientific publication and citation processes, emphasizing the critical role of randomness and discussing other factors influencing publication ratings.

## Contribution

The paper presents a novel toy-model highlighting the importance of randomness in publication and citation dynamics, offering new insights into scientific ratings.

## Key findings

- Randomness plays a crucial role in citation processes
- The model demonstrates variability in publication ratings due to stochastic factors
- Discussion of additional aspects influencing scientific publication evaluation

## Abstract

A toy-model of publications and citations processes is proposed. The model shows that the role of randomness in the processes is essential and cannot be ignored. Some other aspects of scientific publications rating are discussed.
