Item Creation and Development of Comfortable Information Environment of Science at the University: Library Contribution(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Yurik, Inna V.; Lazarev, Vladimir S.EN: The objective of the study was identification of essential characteristics of a comfortable information environment of science and determining the role of the University library in its creation and development. Methods. The information base of the research consists of the publications of researchers and specialists on the problems under study, as well as of the results obtained during the research works of the authors of the article; both were interpreted by the authors and set out in the context of the research objective. Results. The findings are the presented analysis of definitions of the notions of "information environment", "information environment of science", "comfort of information environment". Essential characteristics of comfortable information environment of science are featured. The practical value of the research is the applicability of the results to the work of other University libraries. Conclusions. It is stated that the Belarusian National Technical University Scientific library makes a significant contribution to the creation and development of a comfortable information environment of science of the University by means of the introduction into practice of such activities as: information support of applied research and experimental development carried out in a number of priority areas of scientific and technical activities in the Republic of Belarus, the creation and maintenance of open access resources, the formation of the needs of scientists and researchers in primary scientific data, advisory work on researchers registration in various systems of identification of author profiles, bibliometric research.Item On the Possibilities of Evaluating Properties of Scientific Documents on the Basis of their Citations Count (or Again: what Property is Reflected by Citations Count Par Excellence, after all?). Part 1: Value(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Lazarev, Vladimir S.EN: The objective is consideration of the most recent works on the problem of the phenomenon reflected by citations count of scientific documents. The method is interpretation of recent research publications made by bibliometricans. The results are presenting evidence that the property of scientific documents reflected par excellence by their citation is their value. It is also concluded that the attempts of identification of the “specific contribution” of cited documents based on the conditional and disputable classification schemes of citations that have been undertaken in the years 2006-2018 are not fruitful.Item On the Possibilities of Evaluating Properties of Scientific Documents on the Basis of their Citations Count (or Again: what Property is Reflected by Citations Count Par Excellence, after all?). Part 2: Quality?(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Lazarev, Vladimir S.EN: The objective is consideration of the recent works on the problem of the phenomenon reflected by citations count of scientific documents with a slant to the papers analyzing the citations count possibilities to reflect quality of cited research. The method: authoritative definitions of quality were under analysis and interpretation of corresponding research publications in the context of the results the mentioned analysis was undertaken. The results: citations count does not reflect quality of cited research as there are not causal relations between quality and citedness. The conclusions: since in practice the results of the citations count for documents value assessment and of peer assessment of their quality may mostly coincide, this makes it possible still to use citations count as a proxy indicator of quality. As for the “negative” citations, they seem to refer to cited items of high value, but of low quality.
