total integral indicators of Russia due to increasing its accessibility and citation level worldwide [4]. The next step for the journal should be its entry to Web of Science Core Collection database. For this purpose, we will proceed to attract new highlevel scientific papers and to expand the authors range, thus providing actual opportunities for fast and open access publication.

3. Facts and figures

Measures taken by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal to fulfill its major objectives have resulted in significant improvement of key scientometric indicators of Computer Optics in the most influential Russian and foreign databases.

Upon its current indicators, the journal of Computer Optics has been almost equated with the Journal of Modern Optics and has exceeded some impactful and influential journals such as Optik (Jena), Optical Engineering and Technical Physics Journal. In accordance with SCImago Journal & Country Rank indicators, the journal of Computer Optics has entered into the second quartile in all relevant subject domains. Its Hirsch index comes up to 10.

Fig. 1. The journal of Computer Optics entered into quartiles in three main areas: Physics and Optics; IT; Electronics (red - the 4th quartile, fawn-colored the 3rd quartile, yellow - the 2nd quartile).

Key scientometric indicators of the journal of Computer Optics in RSCI (data valid as of 2015):  2-Years Impact Factor – 1.182  5-Years Impact Factor– 0.902  article citations in previous 2 years – 506  article citations in previous 5 tears – 368  the Herfindahl Index (last 5 years) according to citing journals – 1390  the Herfindahl Index according to authors’ institutions – 2470  the H-Index (last 10 years) – 13  total journal citations in RSCI – about 6000.

Key scientometric indicators of the journal of Computer Optics in SCOPUS database (data valid as of 2015): SJR indicator (SCImago Journal Rank) – 0.535 IPP (Impact per Publication) – 1.185 SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper) – 1.284

CiteScore metrics (citations in 2015 Scopus database published in 2012 through 2014 divided by the number of the articles): 1.22 (in 2016 – 1.59).

Key indicators of Computer Optics according to SCOPUS database compared with the most relevant publications are given in details in Figures 3-5.

 4. Conclusion

The goal of the present stage of development of the journal is its entry into the Web of Science Core Collection. For this purpose, the Editorial Board intends to continue its work in several ways:  improvement of publications quality,  preparation of various reviews on relevant topics,  strict conformance to peer-reviewing and issuing deadlines.

In 2017, we plan to prepare the third issue of Selected Papers (English versions of the articles published in the journal in 2015-2016) and a fully English-translated issue (Issue 4, 2017), and to expand a list of reference databases wherein the journal is represented.
