National Analytical Scientific Base of Ukraine as a resource of quality scientific publications for Web of Science and Scopus: conceptual solution and information and mathematical support

The object of research: scientific quality of periodical scientific publications in terms of national and international requirements. Investigated problem: imperfect evaluation of the quality of scientific publications of Ukraine, which does not allow at the state level to adequately represent the scientific heritage of the country in the form of high-quality scientific periodicals. Instead, such an acquisition may be of interest to Web of Science and Scopus, which is interested in quality scientific publications in order to realize its commercial interest in expanding the circle of subscribers. Because of this, each Ukrainian publication must independently prove its ability to index in Web of Science and Scopus, and these resources do not have the opportunity to obtain a potentially large cluster of high-quality scientific publications with a theoretical horizon of more than 2,000 publications. Accordingly, the large-scale presentation of scientific periodicals of Ukraine in Web of Science and Scopus will make it possible to increase the ratings of Ukrainian science, which is represented by the universities of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and the structures of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The main scientific results: the proposed general structure of the National Analytical Scientific Base of Ukraine (NASB), which takes into account international quality requirements and scientometric indices, and is supplemented with analytical quality evaluation tools. The proposed informational and mathematical support includes four components of the Integral Quality index (QI) vector, which takes into account the relative indices of the quality of a scientific publication, its demand among authors, citations and demand among readers. This allows comprehensive, objective and transparent evaluation of the quality of scientific publications on four quantitative scales, which minimizes possible manipulations and increases trust in scientific publications on the part of users. The area of practical use of the results of the study: a system for evaluating the quality of scientific publications, scientific activity of individual scientists, collectives, institutions of Ukraine, as well as, in a potential perspective, scientometric databases Web of Science and Scopus as integrated sub-databases. Innovative technological product: the concept and informational and mathematical support of a database of scientific periodicals, which has the potential for practical implementation under the conditions of investment in development and implementation. The scope of the innovative technological product: NASB as a fully functional independent scientific resource that can be used in the system of evaluating scientific activity in Ukraine, or as part of other global resources of scientific periodicals, in particular Web of Science and Scopus.
