Czasopismo «Skhid» znalazło się na prestiżowej polskiej liście czasopism
On July 31, 2019 the Ministry of Science and Higher Education in Poland published new list of journals that had been estimated (“pointed”) by it (http://www.bip.nauka.gov.pl/akty-prawne-mnisw/komunikat-ministra-nauki-i-szkolnictwa-wyzszego-z-dnia-31-lipca-2019-r-w-sprawie-wykazu-czasopism-naukowych-i-recenzowanych-materialow-z-konferencji-miedzynarodowych-wraz-z-przypisana-liczba-punktow.html). Ukrainian journal “Skhid” also entered the list of “pointed” editions and obtained 20 points (its counting number in this list is 29032).
Entering this list is significant scientific and image achievement for the “Skhid» because since this moment all articles of Polish scientists who are published in the journal will give them 20 points (these points will be counted to the achievements of institution represented by the researcher at the moment of publication of the article). It should be also added that articles published in periodical publications that did not join the list by the Ministry will be estimated at not above 20 points.
Taking into account the fact that the “Skhid” is scientific journal working in historical and philosophical fields, points will be counted only in case that authors of the articles have declared their corresponding profession. Publishing their works on “Skhid” journal, Polish scientists could achieve the sufficient number of points for reporting (each of them has to claim four most “pointed” (which received the highest number of points) articles or monographs at works within four years). It is important that points received in such way will influence on the funding of the institution where scientists work.
So, entering the prestigious Polish list of journals, where only a few Ukrainian scientific journals (among them are «Grani», «Sumy Historical and Archival Journal», «Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal») are mentioned, have become another achievement of its management and allows to hope for further increase in its rating indicators.

The publisher of the journal - Ukrainian Centerfor Cultural Studies - became a member of professional organization CrossRef.
CrossRef is Publishers International Linking Association created with the aim to develop and support worldwide high-technology infrastructure for scientific communications. The main task of CrossRef is to promote wide usage of innovate technologies with a view to accelerate and facilitate scientific researches. Special attention of CrossRef is drawn to the development of electronic infrastructure of scientific publication cross-publisher citing. CrossRef Association supports global service of citing that works as a bridge between electronic publishing platforms. This service does not keep full texts of research publications, but it keeps the information about connections between publications with Digital Object Identifier technology (CrossRef DOI), and metadata of published scientific materials. With the help of this system, researchers can use features of global level of scientific-publishing sphere.
The members of CrossRef now are 5 hundred publishers all over the world. CrossRef database encloses more than 75 millions of journal articles and other types of publications (monographs, data arrays, dissertations, technical reports).
From the first number in 2016 all articles of the authors of our journal will receive DOI Index - unique digital object identifier.
Now referring to the article author have to mention DOI index in References and citations by State Standards of Ukraine. For example:
1. Cherednichenko, O. (2016). Food consumption in English towns and cities, 14th-15th centuries. Skhid, № 2 (142), 65-70 (ukr). doi: 10.21847/1728-9343.2016.2(142).67698

Read more about THE SKHID JOURNAL IS CATALOGUED AS A SPECIALIZED SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATION OF UKRAINE IN THE FIELD OF ECONOMIC SCIENCESToday’s moment of history is unfortunately marked with a military conflict of Ukrainian government troops and law enforcement bodies with anti-state military units to which emergence and arming Russia is privy and since 24 August also with Russian regular military forces. It is internationally recognized by the UN, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and leaders of virtually all leading countries of the western world as well as international political and civic organizations.
In this actually warlike situation the role of a scholarly journal (Skhid in particular) which is a discussion platform rather than a mass medium, should probably change as well. We believe that it is preservation of our scientific potential, which is among major tasks in the current context. And it is here where both leading researchers and organizers of science, true super activists of the scientific world (primarily that of Ukraine), and hopefully our colleagues from other countries have to make their contribution. Today scientists whose main creed has always been an objective evaluation of reality are often used as propagandists as their scholarship and ability to articulate an idea enable them to create propaganda and counterpropaganda machines.
We invite all core researchers (historians, economists and philosophers) and Ukrainian scholar schools in these branches of knowledge to cooperation with our publication. Please send your articles, studies and materials, suggest your ideas (our Editorial Board will examine them) as to how to adjust the themes of the Journal in line with the current situation, how to prioritize materials for publishing, which themes you consider vital for today and in the long run.
The Skhid Editorial Board has been working in force majeure, most of its members having left for other cities of Ukraine for the time being – Zaporozhye, Odessa, Kiev, Lvov and others. We have been working online, doing our best to release the Journal on time.
Dear authors! We look forward to getting your proposals and expert articles.
Let us safeguard national science.
Let us retain national scientific personnel.
Let us work in the current context for the future.
Editorial Board
