Russian Scientific Journals in the Structure of Research Process Assessments

Approaches to the formation of a system of priority of scientific journals in the processes of certification of scientific personnel in Russia are considered. The features of a number of proposed lists of scientific journals are considered: the List of the Higher Attestation Commission, the White List, RSCI Journals, etc. and regulation of their use in the preparation of candidate and doctoral scientific papers. Attention is drawn to the division of journals in the HAC List into categories, while the K3 category is not counted when evaluating publications in the process of defending works, which creates difficulties when working with the proposed form of the of the HAC List. The target function of the White List in the volume of more than 30 thousand journal titles has not been determined. It is noted that monographs are not counted as scientific works in the defense processes, which negatively affects communication processes and the preservation of knowledge. It is noted that the proposed approaches need to be improved.
