The authors discuss the results of the bibliometric analysis of Russian journals in the field of library science, bibliography and book studies. The purpose of the study is to build the rating of scientific journals on the List of the Higher Attestation Commission in the code 5.10.4 Library Science, Bibliography and Book Studies, which will allow potential authors to navigate publications: in their citation, the average Hirsch index of regular authors, the number of views and downloads of articles, the quartile of the journal that determines the journal relevance and authority with the scientific community. These indicators, especially the quartile, are crucial for the authors who seek publishing their papers to prepare for their dissertation defense, so that they avoid mistakes when choosing a journal. The bibliometric approach to professional periodicals, its analysis based on the ratings of the RSCI and the Higher Attestation Commission, is embraced by the leading library scientists which is evidenced by publications of the Russian State Library, Russian Library Association, State Public Scientific Technological Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences Siberian Branch, etc. The significance of this study lies in studying the periodicals included in the List of the Higher Attestation Commission, and providing the comparative analysis of indicators affecting the journals ratings. According to the authors, the systematic bibliometric analysis based on RSCI indicators reveals the potential of individual journals, directions for their improvement and enables to determine the core serials of the industry documentary stream. The findings of the study are seen as significant in the light of the changing specialty itself, the growing interest to domestic periodicals against the background of sanctions in the field of scientific information.
