National Electronic Libraries of Russia and the United States
Аннотация
Comparison of the National Electronic Library of Russia and the Digital Public Library of America (in terms of the history of creation, main goals, types and subjects of documents, terms of copying documents, digital infrastructure, sources of funding, and accessibility) showed that while the main goals of their creation are similar, they differ in all of the parameters.

On Creating a Definition of Information by Identifying Its Essence
Аннотация
Constructive criticism of the provisions articulated in the article by A.G. Khanzhin and A.A. Kozhokaru’s “The problem of unifying the definitions of the concept of ‘information’” is given, and the potential and specificity of the usage of such tools of knowledge as Concepts and Categories are considered in the process. It is argued that obtaining knowledge about the essence of information, going beyond sectorial knowledge and relying on the postnonclassical scientific paradigm if necessary, remains the primary way of creating a definition of information. Essential definitions of the phenomena and concepts “information” and “information resources” are provided; approaches to the creation of other definitions of the conceptual and terminological apparatus of information science based on operating with classification attributes and carrying out the procedures of division, generalization, and restriction of concepts are outlined.

The VINITI Database of the RAS: Problems and Prospects
Аннотация
The state of the VINITI database of the RAS is discussed. It is proposed to focus on its Russian-language part, whose completeness is insufficient for such a national resource. The first problem that needs to be solved is to achieve the most complete reflection of Russian-language publications in all 28 subject areas of science and technology. The second problem is associated with the retrospective filling of the VINITI database RAS, which consists in its deepening until 1953, when the Abstract Journal began to be published.

Information Interactions: The Criteria of the Choice of Communication Channels in a Scientific and Technical Library
Аннотация
This paper considers the problem of choosing communication channels for building an effective interaction between a scientific and technical library (STL) and enterprise specialists. It emphasizes the need to expand the scope and integrated use of these channels. The characteristics of communication channels that must be considered when developing a communication policy are presented. Examples of compiling communication matrixes are given for the purpose of analyzing channels that are promising for use in information services.

Curation of Digital Scientific Data
Аннотация
The role of the curation process in supporting scientific data repositories is studied. It is shown that curation is an essential element of scientific work in data-intensive disciplines (Earth sciences, biology, materials science, etc.). The scale and importance of curation for scientific archives and databases have led to the emergence of extensive literature and standards governing the required actions. Measures for the preservation of data, their cleaning from distortion, quality assessment, and comprehensive description are examined in detail. The advantages and disadvantages of the existing standards of scientific metadata are studied. It is shown that the constant observance of all the requirements governing the process of curation can ensure not only safety, but also continuous enrichment of the value of scientific data.

The Impact of Errors in the Sсopus Database on the Research Assessment
Аннотация
This paper presents the results of the analysis of the causes for duplicate profiles in the Scopus database on the basis of a random sampling of profiles of 400 Russian authors and 400 organizations. We estimate the number of duplicate profiles and calculate the level of uncertainty that errors in bibliographic descriptions can contribute to the results of scientometric studies using the Scopus database. The analysis showed that in Scopus 76% of the organizations and 24% of the authors have duplicate profiles. In this regard, organizations lose an average of 17% of publications and authors lose 11%. The results of this study can be used in elaboration of the Scopus database and estimating the error level in the research assessment of institutions and individuals.
