Obtaining of New Knowledge in Concerning «air Conditioning» at the Railway Transport: Scientometric Aspect

To study of the organizational information and analytical structures of libraries of top-rated universities in Ukraine, in particular, of 4 domestic universities that entered the World University Rankings 2019. Methods. The methodological basis of the study is the basic provisions of the general theory of social communications. Comparative analysis, sociocommunicative, information, adaptive and other approaches are used. Results. The form of organization of information and analytical activities in the library depends on its place in the library system and the existing organizational structure therein. There are two options for its organization. The first option involves the distribution of tasks between the existing library departments. The second one is the creation of an independent analytical unit in the organizational structure of the library. In the libraries of the universities under study, information and analytical functions are performed by other departments, primarily by the information and reference (bibliographic) units, information service as well as scientific and methodological (research) departments. Conclusions. Thus, information and analytical activity, even for scientific libraries of leading Ukrainian universities, remains primarily a tool for improving internal library processes, and not a separate product (service) that is purposefully produced and offered to readers. Meanwhile, the intensification of the use of information and analytical technologies in libraries, the creation of specialized units therein is one of the effective tools for optimizing library work.

Information Analytics in the Organizational Structure of Libraries of Top-Rated Universities in Ukraine

Kobelev

2019

“…The Ukrainian authors are represented by two papers published in the journal Naukovyi Visnyk Natsionalnoho Hirnychoho Universytetu (2014) and the proceedings of the US/EU-Baltic International Symposium: Ocean Observations, Ecosystem-Based Management and Forecasting -Provisional Symposium Proceedings, BALTIC (2008). T. O. Kolesnykova's studies (2013 and 2016) (Kolesnykova, 2013;Kolesnykova, Pominova, & Kolesnykov, 2016) confirm the lack of integration of Ukrainian science into the world scientific information space and the existing problems of insufficient representativeness of our scientists' publications in international citation indexes.…”

Bibliometric Analysis of the Development of the Direction "Dredging" in World Practice

Kostyrko

Korolyova

2019

The study is aimed at obtaining new up-to-date knowledge and analysis of already existing one about the development of the "Dredging" direction in the world scientific space using the products and services of the Scopus scientometric database. Therefore, the chronological framework of the scientific articles under study is limited only by their availability in the Scopus database. Methods. In order to obtain relevant empirical data, the authors of the study reviewed the world scientific literature on the topic "Dredging" using the resources of the international reference and scientometric database of peer-reviewed literature Scopus. The algorithm of "step by step" actions in the Scopus database is considered: 1. Forming the circle of the most cited publications; 2. Defining the most relevant topics; 3. Identifying the most productive authors; 4. Determining the level of representation in the Scopus database of publications of Ukrainian scientists by the research topic. Results. During the study the authors have proved: 1. The main topics of the "Dredging" direction are: the impact of dredging on the ecology of the aquatic environment and marine life; models and algorithms for assessing and minimizing the risks associated with dredging; application of bottom sediments after dredging and their disposal in open waters; dredging fleet maintenance; 2. Scientists of our country are very slowly joining the world processes of exchange of scientific information in the "Dredging" direction; 3. The most intellectually productive authors of scientific articles in this field are scientists from the USA, Spain, Great Britain and Australia. Conclusions. For the first time in Ukraine, the authors conducted a bibliometric study in the field of water transport (subject area "Dredging") on the basis of products and services of the Scopus scientometric database. The results obtained can be used for further scientific research on this and related topics, as well as applied in the dredging discipline teaching process.

“…The peculiarity of LIS university researchers should be emphasized. In addition to research focused only on the library science, there is a need for research in various disciplines relevant to their institutions (Borrego, Ardanuy, & Urbano, 2018;Kolesnykova, Pominova, & Kolesnykov, 2016;Kolesnykova, Matveyeva, Manashkin, & Mìshchenko, 2019;Dash, Sahoo, & Mohanty, 2015). At the same time, scientific cooperation with teachers and scientists, leading to the coauthorship of scientific results, is, firstly, one of the possible ways to demonstrate the compliance of the library with the institution's mission; secondly, participation in research improves librarians' skills in providing services for research support (Borrego, Ardanuy, & Urbano, 2018).…”

“…In addition, the experience of librarians in the field of bibliometrics can be used to help individual researchers, departments, faculties prove their scientific contribution to success at their universities (Kolesnykova, Pominova, & Kolesnykov, 2016;Kolesnykova, Matveyeva, Manashkin, & Mìshchenko, 2019).…”

Conference Time in the Library and Information Sciences. Part 2: Analysis of Publication Activity and Citation

Kolesnykova

2020

Objective. The second part “Conference time in the library and information sciences” of the study is aimed at conducting a bibliometric analysis of the publication activity and citation of the authors presenting their papers at international conferences indexed in Scopus and/or Web of Science (CC). Methods. Bibliometric analysis of publications that are Conference proceeding (“proceedings paper” and/or “conference paper”) was carried out using the Scopus and Web of Science (CC) citation databases. Using a comparative analysis, the obtained data, covering the “conference paper”/“proceedings paper” publication type for all years of their reflection in each of the databases, as well as in chronological frames from 2016 to 01.06.2020 were studied. Results. Analysis of the publication activity of LIS university (academic) researchers shows that Scopus (n=4561) contains more documents than WoS database (n=4145). The growth of Open Access (OA) documents in both databases is significant since 2000. But the period 2016-01.06.2020 demonstrates a slight dominance of the number of OA publications in Scopus (n=192) compared to WoS (n=185). Distribution data by authors, universities, countries, knowledge areas were also obtained. Citation analysis shows poor results on both bases, which may be due to the focus of conferences on rapidly changing topics. Conclusions. Showing the relatively low LIS coverage in university research, as well as low citation rates, this paper demonstrates that LIS researchers/practitioners need to create more quality publications to be recognized as an important area. The author hopes that this work will generate great research interest in the field of LIS and understanding the great value of Conference proceeding as a publication containing original/primary research results.
