Інфометрична діагностика потоку веб-публікацій українських бібліотекознавців
The thesis represents research of theoretical and methodological basis for providing satisfactory infometrics analysis of the flow of Ukrainian web-based library and information science research articles. The origins and historical survey of the infometric technique is presented and the up-to-date infometric classification research methodologies is developed. As the result of the research, the necessity of multiple infometric diagnostic methods implementaton for better understanding of the scientific web communication status and efficiency in Ukrainian library science is developed. The extent of open access web publications being used by library scientists is determined by webometrics monitoring and the structure and dynamics of libraran scientists' web publications is analysed. A conceptual model of infometric online diagnostics was developed to identify perspective directions of the online publications flow. Semantically this model is divided into multi-disciplinary, specialized and individual directions. The importance of the theoretical and methodological foundations for enhancing the infometric diagnostics as the base for improving communication, representation of the Ukrainian library science professionals' scientific accomplishments in the global web, as well as the base for intensifying scientometric statistics and forming profound and high-quality web source in the field of library science and related disciplines, is pointed out. Open access consolidated web source for library scientists with effective webometric tools for monitoring scholar activity of individual library professionals, academic institutions and others' research activities is used to ground new conceptual model of Ukrainian library scientists' online publications infometric diagnostics. A number of management decisions and policies, as well as technical and technological factors that can intensify the level of open access movement by Ukrainian library scientists are pointed out.
