Scientific and medical publications are the pulse of the clinical world and play a key role in disseminating data to healthcare providers, scientists, and researchers. However, the process of publishing is hampered by the lack of harmonisation in structure, format, and style of manuscripts across journals. The authors/writers are challenged by this variability, which dilutes their ability to focus on science and medicine. The key challenges of structure, format, and style, including word count, referencing, and citation, are discussed here. We also provide a framework for a possible solution. We urge key stakeholders to come together and harmonise the formatting and technical requirements of scientific and medical publications with consensus from pharmaceutical industry, academics, publishers, and relevant organisations with expertise in medical writing and publication planning. It would take considerable effort from all stakeholders, but the end result of harmonised specifications represents a “blue sky” that is worth striving toward.

: The teacher’s scientific and publication activity develops not only his professional skills, but also the quality of education in general, therefore, research on this topic is currently relevant. The author reveals the place and role of research competence as a component in the structure of the teacher’s publication in school, substantiating the need to build constructive conditions for the teacher’s scientific work in the general education system. In the process of research, a system of empirical methods was applied – the monitoring results “Belogord’ye Graduate. Teacher of the Belgorod region”. The purpose of this project is to determine the position of teachers of the Belgorod region to participate in scientific and publishing work. The article gives suggestions on the formation of scientific and publishing competence of the teachers of general educational institutions.

: Some practices of scientific text creation were known since 13 th century, however it is generally recognized that scientific book publishing started with invention of typography. That’s when scientists got the opportunity to make reference to printed media in order to back-up and build their research. Through centuries the authority belonged to academicians and members of scientific organizations consolidating professionals in information distribution, such as librarians and information search system operators. In the late 1900s economic dictate of large commercial publishing houses began to do more and more harm to science. Digital technologies development led many scientists to the Web where they headed network scientific publication projects intended to free the researchers from commercial editors’ yoke. Electronic devices use started the process of revision of scientific authority mechanisms, giving the authority back to those who make science. There is one step from open access to open science and prospects of renewed authority: collective and cooperation based.

Introduction. Scientific journal editors must thoroughly evaluate the content intended for publication in scientific journals. To date, there has been insufficient research on the analysis of the legal status of Russian scientific journal editors, who receive heavy criticism for violating publication ethics. This fact makes the evaluation procedure an acute problem that is becoming increasingly relevant. Additionally, the opinion of the Russian publishing community has not been studied to identify problems related to the evaluation of scientific j ournals and, in particular, the activities of Dissernet. In this regard, this study aims to fill this research gap. Materials and Methods . The study is based on an analysis of the Disserpedia data available on the public site https://biblio.dissernet.org. The materials were provided by the project coordinators and a survey eliciting the opinions of the members of the Association of Scientific Editors and Publishers (ASEP) was conducted. Results. The analysis of the Disserpedia data revealed that 88 % of the journals included in this resource committed massive violations. Notably, only 10 % of the journals made some efforts to rectify the situation. At the same time, the results of the survey showed that almost 90 % of the respondents were ready to address the issues raised by Dissernet. According to the author, this result indicates that the Russian scientific publishing community is ready to begin the dialogue with public institutions that have undertaken the task of evaluating journals. Virtually, one-third of the journals in the Disserpedia cannot be accused of incorrect borrowings. Approximately 70 % of the journals in the Dissedopedia are published by educational and scientific organizations. Commercial organizations that publish scientific journals constitute one-fifth of the total amount of journals in the Disserpedia. Conclusion. The Russian scientific publishing community is ready to implement international ethical rules in their editorial activities and improve the status of already published content.
