The authors discuss Internet-based contests aimed to reveal high-grade (approved by experts) scientific publications and graduates’ qualifying papers. Such contests are to facilitate science and education. They are held on the federal level or regionally, within an individual discipline or university. Contest performance and objectivity depend significantly on expert board to assess the entries. The modern Inter-net technologies enable to submit digital versions of printed publication and to involve experts of geographically remote regions. This approach is introduced by Direct-Media Publishers that has been the organizer and co-founder of a number of contests of students’, post-graduates’ and scientists’ papers. In 2019, a specialized computer-aided system was designed based on the expert acquisition system operating efficiently at the RAS Library for Natural Sciences. In the expert acquisition system, publications’ information value is assessed by their abstracts with a simple point system. In the contest system, experts shall be submitted to full texts to be assessed in the more complicated way. The system has to be tuned individually to each contest. The system is described in full detail. It supports acquiring and maintaining databases of experts and entries, expertise functionality (study of entries and assessing process), results analysis with marks awarded. The experts database comprises brief information on experts while the entries database comprises publication metadata which enables to identify and classify them within the classification adopted for a contest. The system was tested within 2019 “Science Foundation” and «BeFirst» contests.

Axel Elof Jäderholm was born in Söderhamn, Sweden, on 24 July 1868. In 1888 he entered Uppsala Universitet, earning undergraduate (1892) and doctorate (1898) degrees. His doctoral dissertation was based on an anatomical study of South American Peperomia (Piperaceae). While a graduate student he commenced research on hydroids in collections at the university's natural history museum. A science teacher by profession, he served schools in Uppsala (1900–1901), Norrköping (1901–1905; 1913–1927), Örebro (1905) and Västervik (1905–1913). In addition to teaching, he undertook research in botany (especially mosses) and zoology (hydroids). A focus of work between 1903 and 1905 involved examination of hydroid collections at the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet (Stockholm) and the Imperial St Petersburg Academy of Sciences (Russia). Jäderholm's field work dealt largely with bryophytes, although his scientific publications (21 of 28) were mostly on taxonomy of hydroids. His hydroid work was mainly on species from northern Europe, the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic, southern regions of South America, and the western Pacific (especially Japan). He established two new genera and 69 new species of hydroids, a majority of the latter still being recognized as valid. Jäderholm was created a knight of the Order of the Polar Star (Riddare av Nordstjärneorden) in Sweden for accomplishments in science and education. After suffering a series of acute illnesses over the last two years of his life, he died in Norrköping on 5 March 1927 and was buried in Uppsala. Five species of hydroids have been named in his honour.
