The Second edition Russian Scientometric Handbook is designed to provide an overview of the field of scientometrics. The Handbook describes the history of creation of the breakthrough concept of citation indexing by Dr. Eugene Garfield, and development of the first multidisciplinary scholarly citation index, the Science Citation Index. Application of scientometric tools and methods in research management and resource allocation is discussed. Authors survey various scientometric indicators relevant to individual researchers, journals, research institutions and whole countries. Authors explore new types of indicators, such as altmetrics, relationship between scientometric indicators and the nature of scientific communication, and various methods of visualizing scientometric information. Possibilities and limitations of various scientometric techniques are examined. Authors highlight the need for an informed and reasonable approach to the use of quantitative indicators for research assessment. The Handbook includes the first Russian translations of three articles by Dr. Eugene Garfield. The Handbook is intended for use by researchers, science analysts, universities and research institutions administrators, libraries and information centers staff, graduate students, and the general reader interested in scientometrics and research evaluation.

Formation of an educational weekend program popularizing the foundations of mineralogy, botany and local history of the area, developed for primary and secondary school students is considered. The program development and implementation was carrying out for the Pushchino Museum of Ecology and Local Lore in 2018-2019. Possibilities of initial acquaintance with the world of plants and minerals within the framework of the museum exposition in combination with both excursion and independent activity on the ecological path of the city and in the Green Zone are shown. A thematic selection of classical popular scientific literature has been made to develop further keen interest in the subject. The program of acquaintance with the area was tested on the groups of the Tatiana school in Moscow, students of summer camps from general education schools and students of the ecological circle “Living River” in Pushchino town.
