Besides a library's own collection, there is also an increasing use of web-based scientific information resources in library research and development services. The ever-increasing volume of such information, its fragmented location (in various databases, information retrieval systems, etc.) actualize the interest in automating processes when dealing with such scientific resources. The paper presents the functions of a software package for infometric diagnostics of the publication flow to serve users of the Belarus Agricultural Library (BelAL), which is being developed at the United Institute of Informatics Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and BelAL. The software package is designed to automate the information servicing of BelAL users in terms of search, delivery and analytical processing of scientific Internet publications on agriculture.
The experience of scientific and technical cooperation of Belarus Agricultural Library and the Institute of Experimental Veterinary Medicine named after S.N. Vyshelessky is presented. The article describes the library’s activities in information support of scientific research (provision of bibliographic and analytical information on scientific publications, delivery of full texts, patent search) and promotion of research results in the international information space (creation of author profiles in author identification systems, source selection for publishing the results of scientific research, paper processing submission support). Conclusion about the effectiveness of such cooperation for scientists, libraries and Belarusian science in general is noted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
