Abstract
Objective. Indicators of citation databases are widely used as a tool for evaluating academic productivity and decision-making in science and technology. Academic libraries organize services to work with such resources. Methods. Based on the analysis and description of the work of the Information Monitoring Service, the role and type of support that academic libraries can provide in the process of their use are considered. Results. The portfolio of services for the use of citation databases provided by the employees of the Service consists of administration and organization of access, consulting, and information work, monitoring and analysis of publishing activity, organizing information, information support of journal’s editorial boards. Conclusions. Such services of academic libraries are diverse and require the development of theoretical and methodological basis for their quality implementation, continuous training of staff, their more active involvement in research processes.

The development of digital resources, which allowed a faster and more convenient exchange of large amounts of information, led to the development of tools and methods of scientific communication
Citation databases of scientific literature have confidently occupied their own niche in the tools of scientific communication, performing several complementary functions: search for scientific content, partners and funding sources for future research, dissemination of information on research results and their evaluation, creating profiles of authors and institutions, etc
