Pilkevych, Victoriia O. Pilkevych save our time and do not involve traveling thousands of Abstract: History as an Academic Subject is in crisis of a kilometers for data verification. 4G broadband cellular traditional paradigm, information technologies have transformed network allows you to search and verify information as the world into the phenomenon of information society. The article quickly as it possible. is devoted to the problem of creating a specialized database of Despite of a certain criticism of scientometrics, in general, Ukrainian scientific journals (History studies). Author moderately it performs quite important functions [1]. Changing objectives criticizes the traditional methods of scientometrics. Generally, journal impact factor (Clarivate Analytics) and CiteScore in response to changes in the external and internal (Elsevier). The specifics of inapplicability are based on main environment of information field leads inevitably to the problem which flows to the fact that citation on the history of question of the ability of historians to work with current Ukraine (and number of local history problems) will be software. For office work, the clear leaders are a series of deliberately so low since it is less interesting for the scientific software applications for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, community of other countries. Since the creation of any Android. For the implementation of more complex goals, for Bibliometrics is based on the collection and addition of materials example, to start the server hardware for local or online to the database, the main attention is focused on the definition of community, mostly, you need to get acquainted with a family Content management systems for their further integration into History journal ranking frame. Our purpose is to define of CMS of open source operating systems as Linux. Today, a huge types and further writing of the corresponding software number of services provide opportunities for exchanging significantly optimizes the work of operators. For determination information, actual trends monitoring, choosing partners for of CMS we analyze the HTML code of the web-pages. It is paid implementing joint projects, for multidisciplinary research attention to consider the place of historical disciplines in the and international teams, for managing and sharing research system of Ukrainian science according to Register of scientific papers [2]. For example, besides traditional abstract journals of Ukraine. databases and scientific citation indexing service such as Scopus (Elsevier’s SCImago Journal Rank, CiteScore, Source Keywords: Bibliometrics, Scientometrics, Journal impact Normalized Impact per Paper), Web of Science (Web of factor, CiteScore, Register of scientific journals of Ukraine, Content management systems. Knowledge) by Clarivate Analytics (previously Thomson Reuters), Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory and Index I. INTRODUCTION Copernicus - today we have advanced modules which include web programs for managing and sharing research papers The modern super-dynamic development of information (Mendeley). technologies has led to the emergence of new paradigms of The list of important and actual computer programs is history studies. The specifics of this stage of historical science changing so quickly that universities graduating specialists development is the phenomenon of information society. This cannot keep their software knowledge relevant. The creation was followed by significant changes in university courses as of program-balanced courses should be combined with well as their optimization and reduction. Information directly historical disciplines. Basic work with electronic technologies has transformed the world of the traditional archives and the creation of thematic information blocks is approach to history because automated systems have based on full-fledged controlling of Database Management significantly accelerated data processing. Research-type of Systems tools. As for the user use of the main functions of database management systems are of unique value in Elsevier's Scopus and Web of Science by Clarivate Analytics, connection with the possibility of internal search into here is a simple user guide as their interface is quite friendly. professional categories. Generally, every historian knows that At the same time the most important problem facing the the development of the Information Society leads to a rapid historians of Ukraine is creating a national web-resource for loss of relevance of traditional models for the preservation scientometric analysis of history studies in the endless ocean and transmission of historical content. Superiority in a of scientific fields. History is a powerful tool for developing competitive environment is determined by a quick and analytical thinking and a unique discipline in the context of relevant search for the necessary information. New features understanding the national interests of the state. One of the most striking features of this problem is a criticism of Revised Manuscript Received on October 05, 2019. * Correspondence Author Andrii L.

Since the most difficult task to create a [3]. Firstly, the same approach cannot be applying to Natural scientometric database is not software interface but content Sciences and Human Sciences equally [2]. Secondly, history filling the database with thousands of materials from hundreds of Ukraine unlike the world history not so interesting for the of websites. Therefore our attention is directed to this total number of foreign historians and no question about this problem. case - any type of Citation Index will not be relevant. This The algorithm of CMS determination is based on the problem is still actual for scientists in every country. following components: Generally, scimetric algorithms analyze the scientific impact 1. Search for the CMS name directly on the page, often the of a journal, relevance, citation and correlation of these owners of web resources choose readymade templates for indicators over the time. their site (checking of the footer position). This research explores the main algorithms and structural 2. The most accurate method is to analyze the HTML code components of creating a specialized database of Ukrainian of the web-pages: scientific journals (History studies). The main attention is a) Verification of tag «generator»; focused on the definition of Content management systems b) The upper part of pages code has links to the connection (CMS) for their further integration into History journal of design files, for example, css and js. Each CMS-engine has ranking frame. Our purpose is to define of CMS types and characteristic parts that distinguish it from the rest, indicating further writing of the corresponding software significantly the usual folder structure. Example for WordPress: optimizes or even removes the work of operators who enter /wp-content/themes/ the data for abstract and citation databases. c) Service pages (robots.txt) which is responsible for the prohibition of indexing and displaying the technical pages of II.

The results obtained often serve as the basis for the A. Result optimization and distribution of financial and other resources. The scientometric evaluations in the field of Humanities are The evidence from these studies suggests a variety of often criticized. We can say that there are no radically new factors related to understanding the general trends of using methods for verification and to obtain more objective results, software for scientific journals web resources. As we can see, an expert assessment and a review procedure are often more than 30% of the analyzed websites of Ukrainian used [5]. We should especially note that expert assessments, historical journals do not use CMS at all (Table 1). Therefore, with their potentially quality, have a high rate of subjectivity. single pages formed in the traditional way with the usual In connection with the growing competition in the scientific design by HTML code. The most popular among the total community, there is a further intensification of this problem. number of CMS is PHP platform Open Journal Systems
