Abstract
The article presents an overview of the meeting of the Editorial Council and the Editorial Board of the “Bibliotekovedenie” journal, held on May 17, 2023 at the Russian State Library. Changes in the place and status of a scientific specialty “5.10.4. Library science, bibliography, bibliology” in the nomenclature of the Higher Attestation Commission (HAC) led to the need to revise the content of the policy of forming the scientific content of the journal in the direction of strengthening the interdisciplinary synthesis of the specialty with the humanities and social sciences. At the same time, the development of a domestic system of scientometric evaluation of journals, adequate to modern needs and based on the realities and traditions of Russian education and science, as well as organizational innovations of the HAC concerning the activities of expert and dissertation councils, require rethinking the ways and formats of content submission, approaches to the selection of authors of the publication and their qualifications. The interdependence of these trends necessitates the analysis of their components and discussion by experts of the strategy and tactics of the editorial policy of the “Bibliotekovedenie” journal for the period up to 2030.The article identifies the main scientific directions, interdisciplinary synthesis with which will not only significantly enrich library science, but also help to reveal its trends in accordance with the request of the current stage of society development.The expansion of the research field determined by the decision of the HAC actualized the need for a deep cultural understanding of library science, bibliography and book studies, as well as the development of appropriate methodology. The realities of modern life urgently require the inclusion of a geopolitical aspect in the research space of library science, which contributes to the substantiation of the importance of the library as the main institution of cultural identity and the preservation of the written heritage of the peoples of Russia and the world. The role of the journal in the development of scientific communications, strengthening regional ties and supporting library education in Russia was also noted.The results of the discussion will form the basis of the editorial policy of the journal and will be used in the activities of the editorial board.
