Despite its prominent position as one of the leading for-profit scholarly publishers of subscription and open access (OA) journals, and its membership of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA), Springer Nature can be criticized for taking a vague approach in its editorial policies pertaining to “predatory” publishing. While cautioning authors and/or editors about the citation of papers that are published in “predatory” journals, the advice presented in the policies itself is flawed due its limitation to OA journals – thus apparently excluding the possibility that subscription journals might also be “predatory” and failing to specify precisely which journals authors and editors should be careful of, i.e., no source for the “predatory” definition of OA journals is indicated. Moreover, this vague set of policies does not have a publication date, nor is any authorship specified. The opacity of these aspects of these editorial policies limits their usefulness and weakens their objectives, namely in ostensibly offering scholarly advice to protect editors and authors. I argue that the Springer Nature policies pertaining to “predatory” publishing as they currently stand are not useful, and if left unchanged, can be a source of confusion or error for authors and editors of Springer Nature journals. In this connection, the identified risk is that if the poor advice indicated in those policies is heeded, it may encourage abuse, insults and/or indiscriminate profiling of academics, including those associated with Springer Nature journals. While assuming Springer Nature’s genuine intention to alert editors and authors against citing papers published in suspect scholarly venues, I argue that this editorial set of policies should either be rewritten to rely on clearer parameters, including a definitive list of journals for which “predatory” criteria have been defined, or abandoned as they are overly broad. The criticism is aimed at stimulating a discussion among other editors and publishers, especially COPE members.

In 2022, the journal of the first quartile, indexed by Web of Science and Scopus, called Thinking Skills and Creativity, retracted 47 articles simultaneously. The author of this article found that 27 of the retracted articles belonged to authors from China, 10 – from Russia and 10 – from Kazakhstan. The article describes how the fact of retraction was perceived by the Kazakhstan authors of the retracted articles, what is the role of intermediaries, the degree of participation of the authors themselves in the work on the articles, what lessons were learned by the authors from this case. The research method used in this work is an interview with the authors responsible for correspondence, according to a questionnaire that included 11 questions. The sample included six authors from various universities of Kazakhstan. When analyzing the data, the content analysis method was used. The respondents’ answers to each question were analyzed by code and category. The answers showed that in order to publish an article in this journal, the authors: a) used the help of intermediaries; b) were not acquainted with the reviews in the process of double-blind peer-review; c) tried not to disclose the fact of retraction at their university; d) after retraction tried to make intangible claims to intermediaries, but were refused; e) in general, consider the fact of retraction an annoying misunderstanding due to the fault of the editorial board of the journal. This case clearly showed that it is necessary to purposefully and constantly improve the skills of authors in communication with foreign and domestic rating publications during the publication of scientific articles, to develop a culture of scientific writing at the institutional and individual level.

The history of creation and the content of the elective lecture course “Basics of scientometrics and preparing scientific publications” created in 2022 at the School of Biology of Lomonosov Moscow State University are considered. The course, consisting of 12 lectures, is intended for Ph.D. students of any schools of Moscow State University, who, unlike undergraduate students, already have some experience in scientific work and publication of its results. The topics covered in the course are listed, a list of questions proposed in the test is given. Among other things, the main scientometric indicators, work on lists of references, search for possible borrowings in the manuscript, requirements for illustrations, compliance with publication ethics, determining whether a scientific publication belongs to “predatory”, reviewing scientific articles, their correct structuring, etc. are considered. Since the majority of course participants are Ph.D. students of the School of Biology of Moscow State University, special attention in the lectures is paid to the ethical issues of publishing the results of research conducted on animals and humans. It is noted that the course of lectures attracted a fairly large number of listeners interested in the correct design of their articles and choosing the best scientific editions for them. It is emphasized that these issues are especially relevant for scientists involved in the preparation of applications for grants, without which it is now almost impossible to imagine serious scientific research. The results of the test carried out after the end of the course are briefly analyzed.

The article processing time is currently one of the main characteristics that authors take into account when choosing a journal. In a competitive environment, journals, especially those with low rankings, need to process articles quickly to be attractive to authors. Most charge-free journals are significantly slower in terms of speed than journals with article processing charges (APC), and this is not only due to the fact that some journals with APC publish articles without peer reviewing and editing, but also because paid journals with peer reviewing and editing employ specialists who deal exclusively with the journal. Many domestic journals cannot afford to hire such free-from-other duties specialists, so the articles are processed by employees of the founding organization, who are also involved in scientific and educational work, which is why editorial processes are uneven. Also, article publication time is increased by volume restrictions related to the obligations of subscription publications and publication of the journal strictly by issues (especially if journal publishes issues every two months, quarterly, or less often). This paper compares the article processing time in four biology journals with different financial models from four countries. As expected, the article processing time in journals with APC was expectedly shorter than in charge-free ones. There is a noticeably long wait for paper publication after its acceptance in the journal, which publishes a printed version and releases articles not as they are ready but only as part of the finished issue. The article discusses possible ways to reduce processing time in charge-free journals. However, such a reduction should be adequate; editorial processes should not be expedited at the expense of the quality of editing and peer review.

The International Committee of Medical Journals Editors recommends that the data obtained be quantified and presented with appropriate indicators of measurement errors. There is a widespread belief among professional statisticians that it is necessary to present precise p-values in publications without correlating them with any threshold (critical) values. The coincidence intervals are extremely informative. For continuous random variables, not only for the sample mean, but also for other indicators: median, standard deviation, asymmetry, kurtosis and coefficient of variation. For discrete random variables, not only for frequency, but also for most epidemiological indicators – the odds ratio, positive and negative predictive values. Regression analysis should end with the construction of confidence interval for all coefficients, as well as the indication of predictive intervals on the graph. In the case of assessing the “strength of the influence of the factor” in the analysis of variance, a confidence interval for this indicator is also obligate. Specifying the exact p-value obtained during the study increases the probability of the published article being included in the meta-analysis. For most calculations of the above-mentioned indicators, the MS Office package, plug-ins to it or calculators located on freely available Internet resources are sufficient.

More and more academic journals are using social media these days. Social media activity requires planning, and the effectiveness of attracting the target audience depends on how well the content is selected. This paper discusses how to develop a content plan for a social networking scientific journal. The basic concepts are disclosed: content, content plan, target audience, tangible and intangible actions of the target audience. The results of a sociological survey of potential target audience of scientific journal are given. The majority of survey participants indicated that they would like to see the content of the social network of a scientific journal to be more diverse and attractive. To increase diversity and attractiveness it is proposed to divide the content in the social network of a scientific journal according to three objectives: to broadcast the values of the journal, to demonstrate the expertise of the editorial board, to sell the services of the journal. With the proposed content builder, scientific journal editors can start and maintain a successful social media campaign and effectively engage with the target audience.

At present, Russia is undergoing a transformation of approaches to the evaluation of both scientific activity in general and scientific journals. Over the past year, there have been significant changes in the role and importance of Russian journals in promoting national scientific knowledge, and, consequently, in approaches to their evaluation: the classification of journals included in the list of peer-reviewed scientific journals in which the main scientific results of dissertations for the degree of candidate of science, for the degree of doctor of science have to be published, (hereinafter referred to as the Higher Attestation Commission – HAC list), the development of an information resource – the “White List”. What approaches to the evaluation of scientific activity exist now in Russia and in the world? Is it necessary to seriously change something in the approaches to the evaluation of scientific activity that are being formed today, or is it sufficient just to change the sources of information, leaving the previously used principles as the basis? Can journals affiliated with private universities now be an effective tool for promoting scientific results? Within the study it was analyzed how different modern systems for evaluating scientific activity, the basis of which are journals – Science Index, the list of the Higher Attestation Commission, the “whitelist” of scientific journals – correlate with each other. Also scientific journals including those affiliated with private universities, were evaluated by comparing different groups of journals (journals with the calculated Science Index; journals of the first, second, third categories of the HAC list, Russian journals included in the Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus and Russian Science Citation Index, etc.) based on scientometric indicators. An insignificant interconnection between the considered systems for evaluating scientific activity currently functioning in Russia, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the indicated groups of journals, including those affiliated with private universities, their position in these systems for evaluating scientific publications, is revealed.
目前，俄罗斯正在转变评价一般科学活动和科学期刊的方法。在过去一年中，俄罗斯期刊在促进国家科学知识方面的作用和重要性发生了重大变化，因此在评估方法方面也发生了重大变化:对列入经同行评议的科学期刊名单的期刊进行分类，其中理学博士学位候选人论文的主要科学成果必须在其中发表，(以下简称高等认证委员会- HAC名单)，制定信息资源-“白名单”。目前在俄罗斯和世界上有哪些评价科学活动的方法?是否有必要认真改变目前形成的科学活动评价方法，还是仅仅改变信息来源，留下以前使用的原则作为基础就足够了?私立大学附属期刊现在能成为促进科学成果的有效工具吗?在这项研究中，它分析了以期刊为基础的评估科学活动的不同现代系统——科学指数、高等认证委员会名单、科学期刊的“白名单”——是如何相互关联的。此外，包括私立大学附属的科学期刊在内，通过比较不同类别的期刊(计算出科学指数的期刊;HAC目录的第一、二、三类期刊，Web of Science核心合集收录的俄罗斯期刊，Scopus和Russian Science Citation Index等)基于科学计量指标。所考虑的评价目前在俄罗斯运作的科学活动的系统之间的微不足道的联系，以及所指出的期刊组，包括私立大学附属的期刊组，它们在这些评价科学出版物的系统中的地位之间的优势和弱点，被揭示出来。
