m - number of all co-authors - both those who are employees of the university undergoing evaluation and those from other units.

To calculate how many points a multi-authored publication will bring to the author:

  1. Calculate the P value according to the table above.
  2. Calculate the unit share, i.e. the fraction indicating what part of the author's slot the publication will fill U=P/Pc*1/k.
  3. Finally, calculate how many points this part of the filled slot Pu= P/k will bring.
