A SCIENTIFIC AND PRACTICAL SEMINAR WAS HELD WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION

The Odessa State University of Internal Affairs hosted a scientific and practical seminar “Current Issues in the Preparation and Publication of Scientific Papers in Publications Indexed by the International Scientometric Databases “Scopus” and “Web of Science”” at the Odessa State University of Internal Affairs with the participation of members of the Association.

Leading Ukrainian scientists and practicing lawyers, including representatives of the scientific and pedagogical staff of our university, adjuncts, postgraduate students and applicants, took part in the discussion of the seminar.

The main areas of work of the scientific and practical seminar are topical issues of preparing scientific papers in publications indexed by the international scientometric databases “Scopus” and “Web of Science”, as well as publishing scientific papers in publications indexed by the international scientometric databases “Scopus” and “Web of Science”.

The attendees were presented with scientific reports on such topics as: "Possibilities of publishing scientific articles in the field of law in publications included in the scientometric databases "Scopus" or "Web of Science", and the role of higher education institutions in this process", "Certain problems of indexing the results of scientific activity in international scientometric databases", "Integration of ONU periodicals into national and international resources: work experience", "Publication of scientific articles in international scientometric databases "Scopus" or "Web of Science" as a condition for obtaining an academic title", "Problems of publishing scientific works in journals indexed by international scientometric databases", etc.

It should be noted that for the effectiveness of scientific work, increasing importance is attached to the university's ranking with scientometric indicators. These indicators are one of the decisive criteria for obtaining international grants and performing joint scientific research. All this has made Scopus and Web of Science the most popular scientometric databases in Europe, which are currently used as a universal tool for conducting bibliographic research and assessing the level of citation of both individual authors and institutions as a whole.
