Purpose. The presentation of challenges with which scientific journals and - more broadly - scientific communication, will have to face in the substantive, technological and financial sphere in the conditions of constant evolution of the digital world, dynamic development of new information systems in science (e-library, library 2.0) and new phenomena conditioning the behaviour of Internet users. Method. The views presented in the article are the result of a review of literature regarding scientific journals and empirical research, which was conducted from April to August 2018 among 132 authors representing the world of science and economic practices. Findings. The open access (OA) movement has caused significant changes in the behaviour of people of science in publishing and depositing research results. The prospect of taking over all the functions of scientific journals by scientific repositories still seems to be distant due to the lack of alternative methods for assessing the quality of scientific publications. There are doubts about the division into scientific, institutional repositories and the repositories belonging to scientific journals, which results from unclear business models of individual solutions. The phenomenon of self-publishing is stimulated by the dynamic development of research carried out by business units, skilfully analysing the resources of large data sets and successfully popularising research results in social repositories. This is new quality in the area of information exchange, which requires rapid adaptation on scientific grounds. An insufficiently implemented postulate to popularise scientific knowledge and its transfer to business practice remains an equally important challenge. Research and conclusions limitations. The results of the survey based on the respondents’ subjective assessment should be treated with caution and do not allow to draw general conclusions. The research revealed significant discrepancies in respondents' opinions regarding the future of scientific journals and their prospects for functioning in new information systems. The highest doubts concern the quality assessment system of scientific publications and the business model of scientific repositories: the significant number of stakeholders of the scientific communication system, dispersed in various scientific, political and economic systems, further limits the possibility of formulating unambiguous decisions in this respect. Originality. The presented article formulates challenges for scientific journals whose functions are being increasingly taken over by scientific and social repositories. In contrast to the previously published works, this suggests solutions in the field of artificial intelligence, which will enable complete change in the way of publishing and validation of knowledge as well as quality control of scientific research.

Access Model

Open Access to scientific information, transparency of research processes and data is one of the most important conditions for the progress of science and scientific communication, the basis of international collaboration of researchers globally. The COVID-19 global pandemic has once again highlighted the need for open, efficient and equal access to scientific information for researchers, regardless of geographical, gender or any other constraints, promoting the exchange of scientific knowledge and data, scientific cooperation and scientific decision-making, knowledge and open data. The Internet has radically changed scientific communication, particularly on the model of peer-reviewed scientific journals and the way readers find and access the scientific information. Digital access is now the norm, thanks to the Open Access model. Although 20 years have passed since the announcement of the Budapest Open Access Initiative, and despite many achievements and advantages, there are still obstacles to the implementation of this model, there is some resistance from commercial publishers and other providers, and discussions continue in the academia world. The Open Access model is already supported by various strategies, policies, platforms, applications but is not yet established. Various business models for scientific journals are still being tested, a culture of preprints is being formed, and discussions are underway on the ethics of scientific publications, intellectual property, the need to finance the dissemination of research results, and so on. Various platforms and applications are being developed to help researchers “discover” research results. Nevertheless, this is not enough: it is important to “discover” not only the results but also the research data, allowing them be used for further research in the global world. Thus, the concepts and practices of Open Science, Open Data, development of research infrastructures, etc., are developing quite rapidly. The article considers the main stages of this 20-year path and outlines the main components and trends of the current stage. Emphasis is placed on the need to form a culture of Open Science and create incentives for its implementation, promoting innovative methods of Open Science at different stages of the scientific process, the needs of European integration of Ukrainian e-infrastructure development, the need for socio-cultural and technological change. The main international and domestic practices and projects in Open Access and Open Science, particularly the National Repository of Academic Texts and the National Plan of Open Science draft, are considered. The role of libraries and librarians in implementing the principles of Open Access and Open Science is emphasized.

Science News

The present research aims to study modern approaches to the classification of news information in general, and of science news in particular. Based on the analysis of Russian scientific publications and information systems, several classifications used to systematize news (mostly universal) are described. The article proposes the author’s classification of scientific news as an element of modern scientific communication system. This classification can potentially be used as another tool for assessing the effectiveness of scientific institution research results.

Science Production

The way science is done has changed radically in the last years. The personal reflections and experiences of a protagonist help us to understand the mechanisms of contemporary science. A system where passion, dedication and reliability, have increasingly less room, pressed by hard market laws. From vocation of a few, science has become the profession of many, possibly too many. With consequences and risks, such as the increase of frauds, plagiarism, but in particular with a huge amount of scientific publications, often of little relevance. The solution? A slow approach with more emphasis to quality than quantity, that helps us to rediscover the central role of a responsible scientist. The work is a critical review and assessment of present-day policies and behaviors in science production and publication, touching upon the tumultuous growth of scientific Journals, in parallel to the growth of self-declared scientists over the world. Along with personal reminiscences of times past, the author investigates the loopholes and hoaxes of pretended Journals and non-existing Congresses, so common nowadays in the scientific arena. The troubles with bibliometric indices are also discussed, as resulting in large part from the above distortions of science life.

Novel Coronavirus

Objective: Since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic at the end of 2019, the number of affected cases has not stopped rising. Similarly, the number of scientific publications and pre-prints has been increasing exponentially, with an effort to understand this disease more and find a proper solution. The purpose of this article is to review the current understanding of the novel coronavirus. Background: The latest COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 has spread globally ever since it emerged in Wuhan's city in China. This rapidly spreading disease has changed our lives in unimaginable ways, spreading fear and uncertainty due to the lack of knowledge and the flooding with new information, which lacks the scientific method and cannot be critically appraised. The purpose of this article is to gather some of the best knowledge that has been published so far in a unified narrative review, making it easy for the scientific community to review the most accurate and recent understandings about COVID-19. Methods: We screened relevant articles using a specified number of keywords and specific databases, including PubMed and Embase. We selected peer-reviewed English published material related to the topic, except for a few pre-prints that we deemed necessary to include. We also screened the reference lists of these articles to find relevant publications with the same criteria. Discussion: This narrative overview comprises several subsections that discuss the epidemiology, virology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and management of the disease. We also presented a section on the implications of the disease in pregnancy. We wrapped up the review with a special division regarding the response to COVID-19,  which has been diverse in different countries. Conclusion: COVID-19 has been a serious global health threat with a high transmission and case fatality rate, particularly in vulnerable populations. Epidemiologic models have so far guided the response, but they need to be interpreted carefully, with an understanding of their limitations. The disease's response has varied among different countries; with no current vaccine or standard treatment, the world stands in fear, maximizing preventive strategies to reduce the damages caused by this virus. This manuscript presents a summary of everything that is so far known about COVID-19 to make it easier for the medical community to overview the disease that has changed the world.

Effective Development

In the 21st century, we live in the stage of human history when any information is as accessible as possible. The modern scientific world is based on an extensive network of journals. Thanks to them, we have the opportunity to get acquainted with the latest research results. In the 21st century, every reputable journal also has an online version, which makes the dissemination of scientific information almost instantaneous. We are so accustomed to the conveniences of the information age that it is difficult for us to imagine the difficulties that scientists faced a little over 150 years ago. In the second half of the nineteenth century, almost most of the sciences known to mankind were formed. The genesis of science launched the process of forming branch scientific communities and demanded stable ways of communication for productive and effective development of the branch. Scientific journals have become an ideal means of disseminating information, and a scientific article has been transformed from an ordinary letter into a modern form and has taken on an ideal form. Given all the above, it is important to consider the experience of V. Lihin in publishing articles in scientific journals abroad. Valerian Mykolaiovych was the first scientist from Odessa to join a new type of scientific communication. He became the first Russian-speaking member of one of the oldest Mathematical Societies in Europe - the French. The young mathematician conquered with his erudition, attention to detail, thorough approach and comprehensive analysis of research issues. During his life, V. Lihin wrote more than 30 scientific papers, a third of which were presented in scientific journals abroad. These were complete author's translations or articles based on part of the study. Not infrequently, on the pages of magazines, you could see scientific discussions, in which our compatriot also took an active part. In Odessa, the fate of Valerian Mykolaiovych changed quite radically several times: he was a professor and dean of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Novorossiysk University; an adviser of the mayor, and later the mayor; became a trustee of the Warsaw Educational District. And in Europe, his authority as a scientist was highly valued. He showed that science has no state borders, that it can develop harmoniously - imitating the results of research from all over the world. V. Lihin broke the tradition of "isolated" science when discoveries in the Russian Empire (and later in the USSR) were made separately from the rest of the world. Scientists, who speak the language of science - speak the language of peace and development. And so, in 2020, the language of medical science has united the world despite its borders, nations and religions.

Mokslo komunikacija, išryškinanti mokslo idėjų, tyrimo rezultatų sklaidą, mokslininkų bendravimą ir bendradarbiavimą, tampa aktualia ir vis dažniau diskutuojama tema Lietuvoje. Pastaraisiais metais Lietuvoje buvo atliki keli tyrimai, atskleidžiantys formaliosios mokslo komunikacijos padėtį, raišką, atsakomybę Lietuvoje. Tačiau tiek Lietuvoje, tiek užsienyje menkai tiriama mokslininkų tinklų raiškos problematika, kuri sietina su keliais tyrimo aspektais: visų pirma mokslininkų tinklų analizė leidžia nustatyti esminius, kritinius mokslinių idėjų atitinkamose srityse sankaupos taškus (mokslo leidinius, mokslines konferencijas, mokslininkų organizacijas, pan.); kita vertus, mokslininkų tinklų analizė leidžia nustatyti mokslo raidą, atitinkamos mokslo srities raidos tendencijas. Mokslininkų tinklų analizė gali leisti nustatyti ne tik formaliuosius ir neformaliuosius mokslininkų tinklus, ne tik atskleisti tarpdisciplininių mokslinių tyrimų raidos ir kaitos tendencijas, bet ir įtraukti į mokslinę diskusiją suinteresuotuosius, atskleisti mokslinės komunikacijos socialinės atsakomybės raišką.Šiame straipsnyje pristatomas Lietuvos humanitarinių mokslų atstovų – mokslininkų požiūris į mokslo komunikaciją, analizuojant Lietuvos mokslininkų publikacijų sklaidą, mokslininkų sąsajumą su atitinkamu mokslininkų tinklu per mokslo kūriniams publikuoti pasirenkamus mokslo leidinius.Straipsnyje pristatomas 2008 metais atliktas Lietuvos mokslininkų, publikuojančių savo mokslo kūrinius Lietuvos valstybės remiamuose mokslo leidiniuose, tyrimas.Lithuanian scietists’ communication: case study of the choice of scietific journals for scietific publicationsRenata Matkevičienė SummaryScience communication is going to be the most actual theme that is discussed in Lithuania, including analysis of development and spread of scientific ideas, results of scientific researchers, and cooperation and collaboration of scientific community. In recent years, in Lithuania there were developed several researches for analysis of the position and conditions, expression and manifestation of formal documentary science communication. In the Lithuanian and foreign scientific tradition, the problems of scientific networks (networks of scientists) were investigated only in the context of scientific communication, but the network question was not raised.The aim of the investigation (carried 2008) could be named as, first, analysis of the networks of scientists allows to show the main points of collections of scientific ideas in particular scientific spheres (scientific journals, scientific conferences, scientific organizations, etc.); second, analysis of scientific network to show the development of the scientific sphere, the evolution of scientific ideas and main tendencies.Analysis of the network of scientists allows to investigate not only formal and informal scientific network, but also to exhibit tendencies of the development and change of interdisciplinary scientific researches, as well as to involve scientists and other interested parties into discussion.The research deals with attitudes of Lithuanian scientists working in the field of humanities toward science communication, analysis of the development of scientific publications, relations among scientists through the scientific journals that are selected for publication of scientific articles.
