Abstract

Objective. The scientific publication aims to analyze the development of open science based on international and national experience, as well as to show efforts of the National Law University in the direction of promotion of open science and management of metadata related to scientometrics indicators of scientists. Methods. To attain the indicated objective, theoretical methods of scientific research were used: literature analysis and systematic approach. Results. The result of this research is systematization of scientometrics services developed by the Scientific Library of Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University to inform scientists about their scientometric indicators that reflect publication activity in the two main international scientometric databases Scopus and Web of Science. Conclusions. It is important to promote open science in university repositories, which are one of the services that manage metadata.
