Weak competitiveness of the Russian and Ukrainian science, connected with weak publication activity and article citation of the researchers of these countries is shown. Five cost-effective measures for increasing competitiveness of the named countries are proposed . They are connected with active involvement of universities and scientific organizations in the international movement of open access, stimulation of publication activity of researchers, promotion of domestic journals in Scopus and Web of Science databases, wide implementation of training activities and by enhancing international academic communication. Shown also is the criticism existing under the slogan Publish or Perish publication race with replacement of this slogan by the slogan Publish Best or Don't Perish., Показана слабая конкурентоспособность российской и украинской науки, связанная со слабой публикационной активностью и цитируемостью статей ученых этих стран. Предложены пять относительно мало затратных мер по повышению этой конкурентоспособности. Они связаны с более активным вовлечением университетов и научных организаций в международное движение открытого доступа, стимулированием публикационной активности ученых, продвижением отечественных журналов в базы данных Scopus и Web of Science, широким внедрением обучающих мероприятий и активизацией международных академических коммуникаций. Приведена критика существующей под лозунгом Publish or Perish публикационной гонки с заменой этого лозунга на лозунг Publish Best or Do not Perish., Показана слабка конкурентоспроможність російської та української науки, що пов'язано зі слабкою публікаціонною активністю і цитованістю статей вчених цих країн. Запропоновано п'ять відносно мало витратних заходів з підвищення цієї конкурентоспроможності . Вони пов'язані з більш активним залученням університетів і наукових організацій до міжнародного руху відкритого доступу, стимулюванням публікаційної активності вчених, просуванням вітчизняних журналів в бази даних Scopus і Web of Science широким впровадженням навчальних заходів та активізацією міжнародних академічних комунікацій. Наведено критику існуючої під гаслом Publish or Perish публікаційної гонки з заміною цього гасла на гасло Publish Best or Do not Perish.

The thesis introduces one of the most important personalities of the Czech musical pedagogy of the last century - professor PaedDr. Jaroslav Herden, CSc. Its aim of the thesis is to present the wide range of pedagogical activities he practiced. The thesis consists of six main chapters dealing with Herden's life with the focus on his musical activities, his education and professional growth. The chapters analyse Herden's experience at the Faculty of Education at Charles University in Prague and his publication and broadcast activities. This work also mentions the Summer School of Music, as Herden was its founder. The last part of the thesis focuses on the heritage of this extraordinary personage.

Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=2207297The primary aim of this research report is to analyse the dynamics and structure of the publications of Russian authors, as well as to define the place of Russian science in the global scientific process. Bibliometric analysis methods are the main methods for quantitative analysis of scientific cooperation, efficiency, and other aspects of scientific activity. The information base for this research includes materials from science citation databases containing bibliographic descriptions of the articles published in scientific journals (mainly written in English) in a significant number of fields of science. Various parameters (e.g. dynamics of the number of publications, the number of citation, the level of co-authorship, the scientific specialization index, etc.) at various levels of aggregation (e.g. individual researchers, research organizations, countries and regions of the world) can be calculated based on these data. The results of bibliometric studies can be used in a number of ways: analysis of latest trends in the development of various scientific fields; evaluation of the effectiveness of research organizations; overall assessment of the scientific potential of Russia (its strengths and weaknesses); identification the most productive scientists in various fields of science; drawing the international comparisons of publications; analysis of collaboration networks of scientific teams. The paper analyses the basic indicators of the publication activity of scientists in Russia and the leading countries over the period between 2001 and 2011. Publication activity of Russian scientists is analysed in the context of specific areas of science. This allows the identification of areas of specialization of Russian publications. The paper also examines the dynamics of highly-cited publications and the indicators of the international scientific collaboration of Russian researchers. In this paper, materials of Web of Science database were used for analysis of publication activity.Kotsemir, Maxim Nikolaevich, Publication Activity of Russian Researches in Leading International Scientific Journals (June 15, 2012).

E-mail: mkotsemir@hse.ruThis paper analyses publication activities of scientists in Russia and selected other countries for a cross-country comparison of their integration into the global scientific community. It adds to the literature assessing global, regional and national trends in knowledge production to help policy makers develop a more flexible and effective science policy.It provides an overview of the dynamics of main indicators of scientific publications and their citation in Russia and leading countries over the period 1995-2010. Based on this analysis, the author estimates Russia’s position within the global scientific community. The data are drawn from Scopus and the Web of Science databases. For Russia, the focus is on publication activity in specific areas of science, identified as specializations. In particular, the level of citation of the most highly Russian publications is noted. Also, the paper focuses on the integration of Russian researchers in the international scientific community, as measured by the number of publications co-authored with foreign researchers. Finally, it reviews the methodological approaches of the evaluation of citations, focusing on resulting problems which require further investigations.The analysis shows that Russia has lost more international status in scientific publishing activity than other countries of the studied sample. At the same time the other BRIC nations as well as some other developing Asian countries have significantly improved their international positioning in this regard.

Проанализированы показатели публикационной активности (число публикаций в РИНЦ, цитируемость в РИНЦ и число монографий и учебников) научно-исследовательских учре- ждений Дальневосточного регионального научного центра Россельхозакадемии., The article presents analyzed indices of the publication activity (the publication number of the Russian Index of Scientific Quoting, quoting in Russian Index of Scientific Quoting, and the number of monographs and textbooks) of the Scientific Research Institutions of the Far Eastern Regional Scientific Centre of Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Příspěvek shrne problematiku budování institucionálních repozitářů, jejich význam pro paměťové instituce a poukáže na možné problémy, které s budováním souvisí. Repozitáře slouží především jako místa dlouhodobé archivace a zpřístupnění digitálních dokumentů, tedy i digitálního kulturního dědictví, nikoliv pouze krátkodobých či rychle zastarávajících informací. Vzhledem k proměně povahy nově vznikajících dokumentů v současné době je tedy žádoucí, aby se vznikem takovýchto digitálních archivů paměťové instituce začaly zabývat.

In this article the problems of research and evaluation of Antonio Gramsci’s theoretical heritage are considered. Empirical data were taken from electronic bibliographic abstract databases «ProQuest Dissertations & Theses» and «Scopus». The article presents the results of two series of research concerning researchers’ publications on Antonio Gramsci’s theoretical heritage issues. The first series aims at defining the state and dynamics of publications by the categories of «Gramsci’s heritage studies». The second series specifies the points of the first series, and contains the issues of using «Gramsci and Education» criterion for defining the authorship of the publications on his theoretical heritage. The article shows that publication activity of teachers can be considered within three clusters of time period. Empirical data analysis by «Gramsci and Education» criterion allows for some meaningful conclusions about chronological distribution and content of publications by modern teachers abroad.
