InGraph Platform: a new resource of scientific works with an expanded scientometrics tool

Abstract

The paper presents a scientific and practical development of an information technology product – the InGraph Platform. The logic, structure, and information technology implementation of this Platform provide a practically useful service for all subjects of scientific activity who create scientific works and use them: authors, reviewers, and end users from science and practice. The Platform mechanisms, which ensure interaction between all its users, form a technology of scientific and practical communications based on the principle of “everyone gets what they need with minimal waste of time”. The InGraph Platform concept implements the transition from the one-dimensional model of “scientist for scientist” or “science for science” to the two-dimensional model of “science for improving human well-being”, setting as a priority for science the provision of practical needs for the results of scientific research, rather than the number of citations or the h-index. At the same time, the use of the platform completely eliminates the intermediary in the form of a publisher, preserving the copyright of the author and ensuring honest and transparent communications between authors and users of scientific work
