To meet the requirements of the above-mentioned order of the Ministry of Education and Science, to raise the scientific rating, to ensure accessibility to the general public, and to introduce modern information technologies, the State Expert Center of the MoH, which is the publisher and one of the co-founders of the Pharmaceutical Journal, carried out work on creating and initially populating a website for the Pharmaceutical Journal.
At present, within the framework of this work:
- The domain name of the website of the “Pharmaceutical Journal” has been registered on the Internet – https://pharmj.org.ua
- The Crossref publisher prefix for the Pharmaceutical Journal has been ordered and received – 10.32352 (CrossRef is an international association of publishers of scientific publications (journals, monographs, conference proceedings), created to develop and maintain a worldwide high-tech infrastructure for scientific communications)
- Based on the received publisher prefix, all articles of the journal issues for the years 2017-2018 have been assigned the corresponding DOI indices. (DOI is a serial number used for permanent and unique identification of objects (for example, scientific articles) and can be used to significantly improve the efficiency of searching for scientific information on the Internet and is one of the most significant and in-demand tools for a modern scientific journal)
- The website has been populated with general information about the journal in Ukrainian and English, and an archive of issues for the years 2013-2018 has been posted.
- The website was developed on a specialized open software platform for organizing peer-reviewed scientific publications – OJS (Open Journal Systems), on which more than 9 thousand scientific journal websites currently operate worldwide, and about 180 in Ukraine.
For reference: the Pharmaceutical Journal is a peer-reviewed scientific and practical journal founded in 1928. The journal publishes original articles and reviews, events and facts that reflect best practices and research results, and the exchange of experience in the medical and pharmaceutical field. The Pharmaceutical Journal is included in abstract and scientometric databases: worldcat.org (since 1930), elibrary.ru (since 1973), Google Scholar (since 2011), the V. I. Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine (since 2011).
In the future, the archive of the journal on the website will continue to be gradually populated.
