Abstract
The article discusses the prospect of conserving the scientific journals in an environment where new technologies for scientific publications, informing about research projects and their results are used more and more. SSRN electronic repository, ResearchGate social network can serve as examples of such technologies. The Institute for Mandatory Peer Review of incoming materials stands out as a fundamental advantage of scientific journals. He takes the activities of a scientific journal beyond simple mediation between authors and readers, turns the journal into a link in the research process. The difficulties of obtaining a high place in a general ranking table by a specialized magazine are presented. The relationship between the average value of the Hirsch index of the authors of the journal and its impact factor is considered. The formation of separate ratings for journals of similar specialization is proposed. The increased sensitivity of specialized journals to the volatile dynamics of scientific publications is noted. Fluctuations in the share of basic research funding in total research and development funding is one factor in this variability.
