Integrated system of automated bibliographic control of sci-tech literature: Technological approaches and prospective possibilities

Based on the analysis of the global information support of science and technology, the author proposes solutions for radical reorganization of Russia’s system of sci-tech information which would provide nearly 100% coverage of the documentary flow and, at the same time, simultanenous user services relevant to every possible information need of researchers. The approaches toward building the integrated automated bibliographic control system allow to address the following organizational and engineering challenges:

Development and introduction of the national standard that binds over publishing organizations or institutions applying to confirm document status to deliver metadata. Beside sci-tech publishers’, the list of these institutions has to comprise all research repositories, Higher Attestation Commission, Rosstandart, Rospatent, and similar organizations that generate the academic information stream.

Development and introduction of the national standard of identifier of science and research documents that would enable publishing institution to generate unique codes to reflect, among all, the type of publication (monograph, article, pa per, abstract, research report, patent, etc.).

Finally, a federal digital platform has to be established to register the national repertoire of scientific and educational literature and, at the same time, to offer the full spectrum of services of information support of the country’s research and educational sphere.

The scale of potential science information support and reforming demands the decision on radical transformation of the State System of Sci-tech Information to be taken at the federal level.
