Abstract

The publication is an analytical review of the work of the section devoted to historical sciences in the peer-reviewed publication The Journal Omsk Scientific Bulletin. Series Society. History. Modernity. The journal has been published for five years by the Omsk State Technical University (flagship university); included in the HAC List, indexed in the RSCI and a number of other scientometric databases. The relevance of the analysis done is associated with the general historiographic trend in the preparation of such articles, summarizing the activities of individual leading journals at certain stages. In the study, the authors highlight and critically analyze the qualitative and quantitative indicators, which directly form the image of the publication (editorial board, headings, links with scientific events, etc.). As a basis for the study, we used publications published in The Journal Omsk Scientific Bulletin. Series Society. History. Modernity, as well as information from the official website of the publisher and founder and scientometric databases. The principles of consistency and determinism made it possible to analyze the activities of the journal, considered as a phenomenon in academic science, having its own structure, at the same time, being part of the community of historical and local history knowledge. Based on the specifics of the topic, the main scientific methods used to write this publication are problematic and statistical. Along with the originality, novelty of the published materials, as well as a number of other undoubted advantages of the publication, the review reflects well-reasoned critical passages, which are regarded as possible ways for further improving the journal's work and its systematic development. The authors of the review come to the conclusion that, thanks to the efforts and hard work of the editorial staff and members of the editorial board of the publication (especially historians), a peer-reviewed publication of the humanitarian profile is dynamically developing at the leading engineering university of Omsk, which, under favorable conditions, may soon become one of the leading Russian journals on historical sciences. The review is aimed at a wide range of readers, first of all, researchers of Russian historical science who study historiography, the development of scientific schools, and the scientific and publishing activities of regional universities.
