А. В. Глушановский The author examines the place of scientometrics in the general analysis of Russian flow of scientific publications (and changes in the attitude toward this issue in Russia in the recent years). He focuses, in particular, on the information and software tools for scientometric research (scientometric databases – OBD). The problems preventing today from using Web of Science and Scopus DBs are noted. The author argues that the RSCI database (Russian Science Citation Index) is currently the most appropriate choice. The existing RSCI OBD functionality, its advantages and disadvantages, and experience are discussed. The author concludes on the possibility and expediency of the wider use of the RSCI OBD in Russian scientometrics (within the current situation), however, he argues that some further developments are urgently needed, in particular, in the aspect of specialized scientometrics-oriented tools. The RAS BEN experience in design and application of such tools is highlighted.
