The main task of the article was to identify the dynamics of changing social characteristics of graduate students from research institutes of Novosibirsk Academgorodok. For the comparative analysis we used the data of polls conducted in 2005 and 2018. We compared such variables as the reasons for admission to graduate school, assessments of the current state of the main elements of scientific activity, the expectations of graduate students about their future profession, primarily a scientific career, criteria and factors of its success. Based on these results we planned to identify the main trends inherent in graduate studies as the main method of training personnel for Russian science. It is concluded that at present the system of training highly qualified scientific personnel in the country is in an unstable state. As a result, there is an active discussion in the professional community about ways of further reforming graduate school.

Modern requirements for Russian higher education in general and the system of training highly qualified personnel in particular arise from the necessity to improve the quality and efficiency in order to ensure the countrys international competitiveness in important areas of life. The research is aimed at filling the need for a detailed analysis of algorithms, frameworks and principles of organizing the process of training highly qualified personnel in graduate school, using information and communication technologies (ICT). The comparative nature of the work, which analyzes Russian and international experiences in this field, allows to obtain data that have not previously been systematized in the present context. The study is based on scientific and pedagogical publications of Russian and international authors. The purpose of the study is to consider the theoretical, methodological and organizational aspects of training graduate students, using ICTs in the selection of the analyzed material. The comparative analysis makes it possible to identify and systematize the specifics of informatization in training scientific and pedagogical personnel, the current implicit state of which complicates its interpretation in terms of the educational process organization and management. As a result, we can identify the following eight characteristics of the system of training highly qualified personnel in postgraduate studies using ICTs: theoretical and methodological foundations, characteristics of electronic learning systems, conditions for effective application and input data for their design, requirements for scientific supervisors and students, factors that update this type of training and a list of basic terms and concepts. The described characteristics can be used as a theoretical basis for further research, for example, in order to determine the actual parameters of designing the environment for students in graduate school as a means of scientific and pedagogical training of highly qualified personnel. The given descriptions of technologies in the context of the peculiarities of the impact of informatization on the implementation of the educational process, together with references to sources, allow to use the materials of the article as data for its planning and organization. The results of the research can be useful for specialists in designing, organizing, implementing and supporting the educational process in higher education using ICT tools: research supervisors, graduate students, managers and designers of educational programs.

The article is devoted to the study of foreign theory and experience in designing a system of training highly qualified personnel using information and communication technologies and comparing them with domestic specifics in this area. In response to the need for training highly qualified personnel capable of solving research and pedagogical tasks in key areas for the development of the state, the purpose of this comparative study was to identify relevant and verified parameters for designing a conceptual model of the system for training scientific and pedagogical personnel in graduate school using ICT tools. The research is based on the analysis of domestic and foreign scientific and pedagogical literature devoted to the problems of training graduate students using ICT tools. To obtain empirical data, we applied the method of integrated observation in the design, administration and development of the postgraduate educational program; questionnaire surveys of graduate students, research supervisors and members of the state examination commission and in-depth interviewing of experts in the field of training highly qualified personnel with subsequent content analysis of the data obtained. As a result, we analyzed and systematized, taking into account the specifics of the use of information and communication technologies, such aspects of training highly qualified personnel as: theoretical, methodological and methodological provisions, personal, professional and regulatory requirements for graduate students and scientific supervisors, implementation and administration of the educational process in graduate school, including against the background of conditions of remote interaction, features of intermediate and final assessment of the formation of competencies of graduate students. The study opens up significant prospects for the practical application of the results obtained in the educational process.

This work is inspired by the article “Local Humanities and Education in Front of the Third Millennium Challenges” by B.G. Sokolov. He discussed the “local challenges” generated by “integration” and “optimization” that have nothing to do with the scientific process, and about simulation actions as the expected response to these challenges. The author considers typical ways of simulating the scientific process, leading to an increase in the quantitative parameters of reports, but not contributing to an increase in scientific knowledge (artificial increase in publication activity; defense of frankly weak qualifying works, including dissertations; imitation pseudoscientific conferences; “omnivorous” paid journals; blurring the lines between genres of work in pursuit of funding). The proliferation of simulation mechanisms that do not contradict normative documents testifies to the loss of the qualitative criteria necessary for the self-preservation of science. The use of regulatory instruments provided for by the current bureaucratic acts is also formal, and often overtly simulated. In fact, many of the identified “challenges” are not “local”, inherent exclusively to Russian science. In addition, as the practice of recent years shows, the problems and consequences of the simulation of scientific work are well understood by domestic scientists who are trying to draw attention to anomalies and develop mechanisms to counter their manifestations (activity of Dissernet and ASEP), which indicates the existence of an “initiative from below”. The author believes that the activity of the professional community of art historians and critics can become a model in restoring regulatory mechanisms for the humanities. The criteria for the quality of scientific work and traditions of criticism that have survived in this community will not replace the imposed quantitative parameters, but can reduce the reputation losses of the Russian humanitarian science.

The authors explore the usefulness of orientation programs for students aged 27 and older who delayed entry to graduate school and whether differences in personal importance of orientation programs, willingness to participate in them, and preferences in matters of scheduling and topics. The results indicated that several demographic variables affected the interest level in some topics, suggesting that a cafeteria-workshop style format, which would allow students to select just those sessions that were of interest to them, may be the best for this group.

Objective: To suggest an algorithm for assessing the results of the scientific activity of a teacher drawing on published works and their quotes, which should make it possible to consider the total quoting of significant publications determined by the Hirsch algorithm. To create a more advanced approach to the effective assessment of scientists’ publication activities compared to the Hirsch number. Methods: A systematization approach is used to systematize the total citation array, by separating it into the following citation arrays: 1) the basic, defined Hirsch index; 2) significant publications; 3) intensity of work. The resulting arrays formed the basis of the creation of three indices: h – Hirsch’s index, g – an index of significant publications and p – intensive work index. These indexes allowed us to determine the Euclidean norms gh – the index of basic significant publications and hp – the intensive work index of a teacher. The above indices make it possible to differentiate the teachers’ publication activities and produce better ranking in the team. Results: The ratings of a team of authors formed by the sample from Russian Science Citation Index using the Hirsch index and the gh-index are built. It is shown that more efficient compared to the Hirsch index is the proposed approach. Practical importance: The described approach to the formation of the rating position of the authors of publications in the creative team is based on a simple calculation and comparison of the modified Hirsch indices

Introduction to the problem. The relevance of the analysis of the environment of a graduate student from the position of searching for a pedagogical means of managing his formation as a highly qualified specialist is due to the multidimensional goals and objectives of postgraduate training, which are based on the conditions of real life. The purpose of the article is to identify and justify the functional and predictive model of the environment of students in graduate school as a means of scientific and scientific-pedagogical training of highly qualified personnel. The methodology of the study. Theoretical bases of the description of a model of students in graduate school made presentation on environmental design, as part of a technology of the environmental approach in education, as well as theoretical and practical experience of understanding the way of life as a condition of personality during the educational process. An important role was played by the results of the study of the use of information and communication technologies as a system-forming factor in the training of highly qualified personnel in graduate school, conducted by the author since 2017. Results and conclusion. The environment of students in graduate school is presented as an integral tool that includes the parameters of the possibility, probability and reliability of achieving an educational goal in the environment and with the help of the environment. These parameters are revealed in the course of a sequential solution of nine tasks to describe the environment of students in graduate school, based on the rules of combining parts of the environmental approach in order to realize the educational potential inherent in it. The way of life of a graduate student is considered as a condition for becoming a highly qualified specialist with scientific and scientific-pedagogical training as a result of the interaction of the student with the environment.

When I first began working with electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs), the conversation in libraries appeared to revolve around open access and publication embargoes. It seemed to me that the primary task for scholarly communication librarians in this area was to broaden access to graduate research while protecting future publication opportunities for individual authors. As graduate students begin to publish earlier in their careers, the relationship between the doctoral dissertation and scholarly publishing is evolving. Many students now include their own previously published work in a dissertation, requiring instruction in publication contracts and copyright transfer agreements at the point of submission to the graduate school.

Undergraduates planning to apply to graduate school in clinical psychology have few resources for identifying suitable programs. Published sources are limited and uneven in their coverage of topics that may be important to applicants. Visits and interviews can be helpful but expensive and difficult to arrange. This article describes a procedure for polling departmental graduate students and faculty who have personal knowledge of programs. This procedure does not obviate the need for other sources of information, but it makes informal information more readily available. As an additional benefit, the survey involves the support of faculty and graduate students for undergraduates.
