  The origins of scientometrics (research metrics) were analysed and the lack
of attention to elaboration of its methodology was emphasized. The approaches
to evaluation of scientific activity outcome were considered and the tendency
of transition from formal quantitative indicators to receiving expert
conclusion on the basis of bibliometric indicators was noted. The principles of
the Leiden manifesto of scientometrics were set out, keeping to which provides
clear monitoring and support of science development, and favours establishing
of the constructive dialog between scientific environment and society as well.
The conceptual statements and peculiarities of practical realization of the
informative and analytical system "Bibliometryka Ukraynskoyi Nauky"
("Bibliometrics of the Ukrainian Science") elaborated by the Vernadsky National
Library of Ukraine, are being represented. The proposals on the formation of
advisory councils, which are aimed to adopt conclusions on the effectiveness of
research activity of institutions, were considered. The feasibility of building
a common platform for expert evaluation of scientific studies for countries of
the Eastern Partnership by initiating similar bibliometric projects in these
countries and their further convergence is proved.
