Algorithms for analyzing secondary resources in physicochemical biology

Abstract

The significance of secondary sources for scientific research is substantiated. The long-term Information demand monitoring accomplished by the Library reveals the need for improving the processes of planning, coordination and assessment of science and research work. The library is able to facilitate this through providing access to science resources and databases within the subject scope of user inquiries. Based on the Russian and foreign publications, the current state of secondary information resources is analyzed. The recommendations on information analysis and preservation are given. The accumulated materials enabled to generate universal selection and reviewing criteria for the secondary information sources based on their completeness, relevancy, profile compliance, urgency, user friendliness. It is important that scientists and researchers are involved in building the system as well as the librarians providing and updating access to the resources. The researches at Physicochemical Biology Center are provided with the access to the secondary resources to meet their subject inquiries in prompt and efficient manner and to support scientometrical and patent researches.
