The paper summarizes experience of the authors as peer-reviewers of more than 100 manuscripts in twelve Russian and foreign academic journals on Library and Information Science in the last seven years. Prepared peer-reviews were used for making a list of the most usual critical and special comments for each manuscript that were subsequently structured for the conducted analyzes. Typical issues accompanying the peer-review process are shown. Significant differences between the results of peer-review in Russian and foreign journals are detected: although the initial quality of newly submitted manuscripts is approximately equal, the final published versions in foreign journals addressed all critical and the majority of minor reviewers’ comments, while in Russian journals more than one third of final versions were published with critical gaps. We conclude about low interest in high quality peer reviews among both authors and editors-in-chief in Russian journals. Despite the limitations of the samples, the obtained findings can be useful when evaluating the current peer-review system in Russian academic journals on Library and Information Science.

Clear translation remains a major challenge to better communication and understanding of the international academic literature, despite advances in Machine Translation (MT). Automatic translation systems which captured the detail and the sense of any manuscript in any language for a reader from any other linguistic background would find global applications.In this article, we discuss the current opportunities and constraints to the wider use of machine translation and computer-assisted human translation (CAT). At the present stage of technology development, these instruments offer a number of advantages to specialists working with scientific texts. These include the facility to skim and scan large amounts of information in foreign languages, and to act as digital dictionaries, thesauri and encyclopedias. Word-to-word and phrase-to-phrase translation between many languages and scripts is now well advanced.The availability of modern machine translation has therefore changed the work of specialist scientific translators, placing greater emphasis on more advanced text and sense editing skills. However, machine translation is still challenged by the nuances of language and culture from one society to another, particularly in the freestyle literature of the arts and humanities. Scientific papers are generally much more structured, but the quality of machine translation still largely depends on the quality of the source text. This varies considerably between different scientific disciplines and from one author to another.The most advanced translation systems are making steady progress. It is timely to revisit traditional training programmes in the field of written translation to focus on the development of higher-level research competencies, such as terminology search, and so to make best use of evolving machine translation technologies.More widely, we consider that there is a challenge across the higher education systems in all countries to develop a simple, clear and consistent “international” writing style to assist fast, reliable and low-cost machine translation and hence to advance mutual understanding across the global scientific literature.

An analysis of the risks confronted by the editorial staff of the scientific Journal of Almaz– Antey Air and Space Defence Corporation was made. It is shown that one of the risks brought the journal into a state of stress test and significant increase in input parameters, which affected the work of the editorial board. The article provides data on reducing the negative impact of a stress test and presents the results of simulation modeling of the impact of a stress test on the editorial board of a scientific journal. These input parameters were the flow of articles to the journal, which exceeded the average values of the process reviewing for a short period of time by ten times. To eliminate the impact of stress testing on the work of the editorial board of the scientific journal, measures were taken to neutralize it in the form of an increase in the number of reviewers and early initiation of articles. In addition to the results on reducing the impact of stress testing, a simulation of an impossible flow of articles that exceeds the average by a hundred times was performed, and the time indicators of its processing are given. The model is based on the Monte Carlo method under the assumption that each reviewer has an average processing time of the article received by him, as well as the law of distribution of this time. The results of the correlation analysis of the simulation results and real data on the processing of the received articles are presented, which allow us to talk about the relationship between real and simulated processes.

The international academic journal publishing landscape is complex and in continuous flux. Many Russian editors and publishers wish to bring their journals into the global mainstream and to develop internationally competitive profiles for their work. Bibliometric citation systems are one means by which the quality of journals, of articles and researchers, can be assessed, referenced and compared. Scopus and the Web of Science are two major and respected quality assurance systems for global publishing, within which many academic journals seek formal listings. These listings help develop a wider international profi for any journal. They also provide valuable data through which journals can benchmark their performance against all other journals in any subject fi In turn, this information helps to stimulate competition and quality improvement across the entire academic journal ecosystem. Scopus provides a transparent and continually evolving evaluation and feedback system for journals seeking a listing and those journals that have already been listed within Scopus. An application for a Scopus listing is a process through which a journal is evaluated by several quantitative and qualitative criteria against global benchmarks. A successful listing can sometimes require a series of strategic insights and developments by editors and publishers over several years. In this article, Dr David Rew, a practising clinician and the Subject Chair for Medicine to the Scopus Content Selection Advisory Board since 2009, distils the experience of evaluation of more than 2000 Medical and Health Sciences journals to guide as to what features and strategies give academic journals a better chance of long term success in the competitive world of global academic publishing.
国际学术期刊出版格局复杂多变。许多俄罗斯编辑和出版商希望使他们的期刊进入全球主流，并为他们的工作发展具有国际竞争力的形象。文献计量引用系统是评估、参考和比较期刊、文章和研究人员质量的一种手段。Scopus和Web of Science是全球出版的两个主要且受人尊敬的质量保证系统，许多学术期刊都在其中寻求正式的目录。这些列表有助于为任何期刊开发更广泛的国际利润。它们还提供了有价值的数据，通过这些数据，期刊可以将自己的表现与任何学科的所有其他期刊进行比较。反过来，这些信息有助于促进整个学术期刊生态系统的竞争和质量提高。Scopus为那些已经被列入Scopus的期刊提供了一个透明的、不断发展的评估和反馈系统。申请Scopus收录是一个过程，通过这个过程，期刊将根据全球基准，通过若干定量和定性标准进行评估。成功的上市有时需要编辑和出版商在几年时间里的一系列战略见解和发展。David Rew博士是一名执业临床医生，自2009年起担任Scopus内容选择咨询委员会的医学主题主席。在本文中，他总结了对2000多种医学和健康科学期刊进行评估的经验，以指导学术期刊在竞争激烈的全球学术出版世界中获得长期成功的更好机会。

Misconduct in terms of manipulation of images has become an increasingly serious issue for the scientific community, especially in biomedicine. Such misconduct takes many forms, the major categories being falsified or fabricated images, manipulated images, and plagiarized images. Different tools and techniques are briefly described to help authors and editors in detecting such misconduct, and guidance is offered on appropriate use of images under different situations. More specifically, CrossRef Similarity Check, Motuin, and Droplets are proposed as the tools of choice for detecting similarity between images and their possible manipulation.
