Inclusion of publications in the List of scientific professional publications of Ukraine

Do you need to register a publication as a scientific journal? Do you already have a journal and need to bring it in line with the latest changes in legislation? How to do it?

In early 2018, Ukraine changed the rules for including journals in the List of Scientific Professional Publications. The relevant order was issued by the Ministry of Education and Science. This regulatory act defined the conditions for including publications in the list of scientific journals, as well as the need to monitor and classify existing periodicals.

Previously, the Higher Attestation Commission was in charge of including publications in the List, and now the Department of Personnel Attestation of the Ministry of Education and Science is in charge.

If you do not know how to start registering a printed or electronic publication as a scientific one, please contact the staff of the RegService company. We will help you go through the registration procedures as soon as possible.

More about the service

• communication between scientists, exchange of research results;
• official recognition of scientific publications (obtaining degrees and titles; evaluation of the work of universities and research institutions, teachers and researchers; evaluation of works submitted for competitions for state funding or obtaining funds from local budgets).
