Abstract
This paper presents a scientometric analysis of Andrei Fedorov's research publications. Fedorov, a preeminent Russian translator and translation scholar, was the author of the Introduction to Translation Theory, published in Russian in 1953. The book was highly influential and considered the beginning of translation studies as a discipline in Russia and in other countries, mainly of the Eastern Bloc. Fedorov's work has also been known to some extent in the Western European literature. Previous studies have emphasised the ideological divide between Fedorov and Western European scholars. While recognising the ideological barriers that did not facilitate free exchange of knowledge, this paper focuses on another perspective, bringing to light citations to Fedorov's works by European theorists, including those from the Western Bloc, thus reassessing his role in the scholarship. Adopting several methods of publication count and citation analysis, this paper is the first scientometric assessment of Fedorov's work.
