Professor Kim Hyun Sung: "To get to the Scopus,« Vestnik NEFU "have to change"

"Vestnik NEFU" should not be sprayed. The journal should be specialized. "This opinion was expressed by Professor Kim Hyun Sung yesterday, October 20, during a meeting with representatives of the journal "Bulletin NEFU" and "Arctic. XXI Century ".

"There are two main things that need to change in the journal. Firstly, it is necessary as soon as possible to begin the publications in english language. Secondly, the "Vestnik NEFU" should be specialized but not multidisciplined as now. 30 years ago, korean universities published newsletters, like yours. It is no longer now. Each university chose one direction in which they are particularly strong and have been published in this specialization. Maybe you should become a multi-disciplinary journal. Current trends in the world are such that the large publishing companies are moving from print to digital publications. Today, no one in Scopus does not read printed journals. They look at the digital version and check the availability of publications "- summed up Professor Kim Hyun Sung.

"Our problem is that the number of scientific publications in Scopus insignificantly. We spend a lot of work to increase this number. But after the creation of department of scientific publications, the number of articles and citations increased significantly. It is a great result for us. We were limited to only Russian-language journals before, but now our articles were published in the leading American and European journals. Experts note that the percentage of our articles published in foreign journals low, but not every university can boast of such an achievement. We want journal "Vestnik NEFU" as a multidisciplinary scientific journal to be in the Scopus database », - says the head of the scientific research Konstantin Krivoshapkin.

During the meeting they discussed the main reasons that Scopus can resign from the publication: for example, unethical articles containing plagiarism, frequent citation, and suchlike.

Meeting with Professor Kim Hyun Sung has already passed last year with the editorial board of the journal "Vestnik NEFU." This year, Professor checked, as it took into account his advice and suggestions directed on to journal was in Scopus, and gave new instructions and tips.
