COMMUNICATION IN THE MODERN RUSSIAN SCIENCE

The article examines various types and tools of scientific communication: from traditional ones that have existed for several centuries, to completely new ones that have arisen in connection with the development of information technologies and the global Internet space. In order to show the differences between the new communication tools and those that existed earlier, the author gives a brief historical overview of the development of scientific communication since the emergence of Respublica Literaria in the 15th century until the emergence of networked scientific communities at the beginning of the XXI century. As a result of the study, it was found that the development of network scientific communities is a response to the crisis of traditional primary communication tools and provides the scientist with a new space for creativity and scientific research.
