An unselected crosssectional study was conducted to review predictors of 5yearlong publication activities in the field of psychiatry (the target factor of analysis) in order to develop the methodological basis for evaluating the efficiency of academics research activities. The study sample formed on the basis of selection criteria comprised 85 observation units. New data were obtained about the outcomes of investigation of publication activities (efficiency) in peer groups of researchers specializing in psychiatry. As a result of multifactorial analysis of impacts on the target indicator an optimal prediction model was established that depends primarily on the predictor “position”. The results that emerged from the study may help develop the procedural framework for evaluating the efficiency of research activities and researchers performance management.
