         Abstract. The article defines the positions of scientific social networks in the
         system of presentation and dissemination of scientific content. The research is
         conducted in the aspect of conformity of technical characteristics of electronic
         scientific sources with the requirements of the convenience of meeting
         information needs. To this purpose, two groups of formalized technical
         characteristics of scientific content, which form the basis for determining
         indicators such as cross-platforming, accessibility and visibility, have been
         proposed. Through the offered basic indicators the complex indicator of
         usability of scientific content is determined. These are important indicators for
         decision-making in assessing the quality of scientific sources to meet the
         information needs of consumers of scientific content. In accordance with the
         proposed formalized technical characteristics, an analysis of scientific
         publications of periodicals indexed in the Scopus database by quartiles in the
         subject area "Library and Information Science". The coverage of the study is
         200 scientific publications of 1-4 quartiles. The leader in the placement of full-
         text versions of the analyzed publications in all quartiles is the specialized
         social network for scientists Research Gate. Across the sample, Research Gate
         offers access to 88 publications as opposed to Academia.edu, which offers
         access to 11 publications. In general, social networks provide access to full-text
         versions of 49% of the analyzed publications, which improves their visibility
         and ccessibility, and contributes to meeting the information needs of consumers
         of scientific content.

         Keywords: scientific social networks, scientific content, electronic scientific
         document, information needs, evaluation of scientific content.

1      Introduction

Advances in IT have become a powerful impetus for the transformation of scientific
communication. The journal model, as the main mechanism for disseminating new
scientific knowledge, has undergone significant changes and has received many
alternatives. A new level of scientific communication system’s development was
marked by the emergence of specialized resources in the information industry market:
social networks for scientists, repositories, electronic archives, bibliometric systems
covering databases of peer-reviewed scientific literature, as well as bibliographic
managers. Recently, there has been a growing interest in exploring various aspects of
scientific communication in the context of the presentation and dissemination of
scientific content. In this context, the topical issues for lively discussions are the
expediency of providing open access to scientific knowledge and the specificity of
assessing its quality. The scientific community has not yet reached unity in providing
open access because of significant ethical and technical risks [19]. The use of open
science practices contributes to the openness, integrity and reproducibility of
scientific research [3]. In terms of quantitative evaluation of the results of scientific
activities, open access provides "visibility" of scientific content and therefore
promotes its citation [7; 8]. An important area of research of the system of
presentation of scientific content based on the journal model is to assess the
importance of social networks in terms of dissemination of electronic scientific
documents and meeting information needs of scientists.
   The purpose of the study is to determine the position of scientific social networks
in the system of presentation of scientific content. To achieve this goal, it is necessary
to complete the following tasks:

─ to define formalized technical characteristics of electronic scientific documents;
─ to correlate the technical characteristics of scientific content with the convenience
  of meeting information needs;
─ to analyze the positioning of social networks in the system of certain technical
  characteristics of electronic scientific documents.


2      Methodology

The research is based on the use of such methods as analysis, synthesis, mathematical
formalization, grouping, stratification, statistical method. Analysis and synthesis are
the basis for identifying the technical characteristics of electronic scientific
documents. The method of mathematical formalization was used to analytically
represent the identified technical characteristics of the scientific content and the
following indicators of its quality: usability, cross-platforming, accessibility and
visibility of scientific content. By the proposed formalized technical characteristics,
an analysis of scientific publications of periodicals was carried out. It provided the
following:
1. forming a sample of 10 Open Access scientific journals indexed in the Scopus
   abstract database in the Library and Information Science subject area in each
   quartile of Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 (40 journals in total);
2. analysis of the websites of the selected journals to identify the technical
   characteristics of the 5 recent scientific publications: file format, file size, type of
   file access rights, availability of abstracts, full-text availability (200 publications in
   total);
3. analysis of publications using Google Scholar search engine to identify
   characteristics: number of available versions, accessibility through social networks,
   accessibility through e-archives / repositories; if the journal is polylingual, several
   language versions of the same document can be submitted on the journal's website,
   in which case we search for the full texts in all the languages presented for
   completeness of the search result.

Statistical analysis of the collected analytical data was carried out, the structure of the
system of presentation of scientific content and the position of scientific social
networks within the system were determined.


3      Related Works

The issue of the scientific content's presentation in the system of scientific social
networks is studied in various aspects.


3.1    Legislative and normative regulation of information retrieval
   The functioning of scientific information in the conditions of informatization of all
spheres of public life causes actualization of the question of legislative and normative
regulation of information search for conducting scientific research. The information
society raises the necessity of legislative regulation of the features of copyright to
meet the information needs of users. The Copyright Directive in the Digital Single
Market is considered. It substantiates the concept of sui generis database right. The
research covers the issues of the functioning of libraries and repositories in the
context of the new legislation [11].


3.2    Scientometric research
   Scientometric review of the evolution of digital forensics research covers the
sources from 1990 to 2019. Common keyword cloud, surging keywords and co-
citation networks were visualized using CiteSpace V technologies (Visualizing
Patterns and Trends in Scientific Literature). Based on the analysis, it was established
the following: the research contents of digital forensics cover a wide range of
traditional and innovative issues (basic theory and methods, physical equipment and
forensic methods, image forgery identification, file recovery and data extraction,
smartphones and social network forensics, case-based forensics and crime forensics,
automatic identification technology and tools, cloud computing and cloud forensics);
the research evolutional paths were followed by storage media, image forensics
technologies, data recovery technologies, encryption and decryption technologies,
human and social characteristics; The breakthrough of image forgery identification
technology accelerated the development of digital forensics; smartphone and social
network forensics and automated forensics technologies bring important paradigm
changes; in the future, automatic forensics and cloud forensics will be hot research
directions [9].


3.3    Conceptual modelling of information needs

   The conceptual framework of information needs that are developed on the
interconnection of information needs and work tasks. It shows that task-based
information needs depend on both individual characteristics of users and work task
context. The conceptual framework of information needs is considered as a symbiosis
of horizontal and vertical relationships to meet information needs. Horizontal
relationships imply the direct and consistent search for information in various,
heterogeneous sources, in particular in social networks. In modern conditions, it has
acquired the status of a significant source of information. Vertical relationships
determine the context of the job: communication of general and specific tasks,
interaction with the source of information, communication with parallel information
needs. Thus, the framework is formed by the sequential, vertical and horizontal
relationships, which form the analytical network of information search according to
the work task [4]. Algorithms of search behaviour of users in the context of interac-
tive social book search technology (SBS) using socially constructed metadata on the
basic and multi-stage user interfaces are presented. It proves that the search engine,
the user interface (UI), and the nature of the tasks influence the behaviour of users
during book searching. This research is relevant and important for experts in the field
of interface design, web search engine development, book search, digital libraries,
social networks, web site cataloguing and e-commerce applications [18].
   An information model of a community for online marketing, which is the basis for
the accounting of information flows in online communities, is developed. Virtual
communities in marketing activities are considered as participants in the
communication process to make strategic and immediate decisions regarding specific
actions and marketing events. For solving community selection tasks for the
participation of representatives of the enterprise, the indicators of relevance and
importance of online communities for marketing have been proposed [17].
   Results of development of a formal approach for modelling the characteristics of
users of social networks are given. Formalization and identification of characteristics
of users of social networks are considered in the context of the problem of providing
national security. Special attention is given to issues of exploring characteristics that
describe the level of user interaction with other users and with communities [12].
3.4    Use of social networks in information search technologies
   Social networks are an environment that contains a variety of different-branches
information. They are the subject of various researches to determine the specific
information needs of users. Social recommender systems (SRS) have got high
popularity because they provide the user with the most relevant and attractive data
using personalization techniques. Traditional recommender systems focused on
information or document retrieval and then were extended with methods for music or
movie recommendations. SRS are useful especially in the context of online stores: the
user can quickly find relevant products, and the company can improve their revenue
by recommending additional products. SRS are also used in the search for scientific
information. Usually, researchers are looking for relevant papers using some search
engines. A method that combines content-based, collaborative and social approaches
was proposed. This method has been successfully used to find a journal or a
conference for publication [10].The use of social networks in libraries of the Nordic
countries has been analyzed. Communication technologies applied on 579 library
websites and documentation centres in Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Iceland were
studied. A topical issue is the distribution of posts from major social networks
(Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube) on websites. Representation of scientific
works in social networks of libraries is investigated. Mostly, social networks are used
as a means of communication, distribution of content, facilitating online viewing of
documents for news distribution, online courses provision and library events
announcement. The libraries of the Nordic countries have relied on Web 2.0
technologies to meet the needs of their users [1]. The processes of information search
optimization in search engines are explained, based on R. Taylor's theory on levels of
users' of "visceral" information needs. A model of a modern organic and human-
centric search engine information system for meeting the real information needs of
users is described [6].
   The problem of specifying a keyword-based query to extract data from structured
databases is an important area of research. They are based on finding a set of
interrelated tuples containing query keywords. The study covers the following: the
selection of databases on the Web; proximity between keywords; query segmentation;
detection of aggregate functions; ranking of relevant results; conducting an empirical
evaluation of results to confirm relevance and competitiveness of research [13].
   The methods of automatic content analysis on health issues are represented. A
differentiated approach to meeting information needs has been identified: there are
different online platforms for different patients, including social networks. A hybrid
method was used to identify the thematic spectrum of online resources, using
qualitative and quantitative indicators, and simulated the information needs of patients
using different online platforms. Peer-generated platforms cover advanced
information on emotional support topics, expert-generated platforms covered
informational topics. Thus, social networks provide valuable multidimensional health
information [15].
3.5    The functioning of institutional repositories of scientific sources in
       scientific and traditional communication
   Obstacles in scientific and traditional communication for free access to information
in institutional repositories have been explored. The role of digital repositories of
universities and research centres in improving the quality of scientific research is
described. The main factors that enhance beneficiaries' access to intellectual products
and contribute to the effectiveness of research include the following: improving the
mechanisms, procedures and policies for providing digital repository services;
publishing articles in arbitrated periodicals; self-archiving of electronic copies;
preserving intellectual content and making it accessible to users; removing financial
and legal barriers to access information. The role of the Web in creating forms of
scientific communication, providing open access for the implementation of scientific
research, is particularly emphasized. at the same time, lack of openness for non-
associated users declines access to the digital repository, scientific communication
and complicates the management of intellectual property rights for beneficiaries [2].
   The experience of forming the Dyuthi university repository of Cochin University
of Science and Technology in Kerala, India, is generalized. Through a voluntary
survey conducted by faculty members, it was found that a high level of awareness of
the repository's resources was combined with the ability to satisfy their information
needs. However, teachers exhibit a low level of mastery of self-archiving technologies
in Dyuthi and other information resources, preferring traditional preservation
strategies to store their works. It is suggested to increase Dyuthi's potential by
enhancing repository features by implementing social communication technologies:
commenting add-ons, request full-text copy add-ons, controlled vocabulary add-ons,
the web of communication add-ons, restricted access, and storage facility similar to
Google Drive [16].
   The technology of open access and archiving of scientific publications used by the
French National Centre for Scientific Research is presented. The Center performs the
following functions: creation of full-text international databases, self-archiving by
scientists, long-term preservation. The Centre has strong technical and information
support, uses Eprint technology adapted to the French language, actively cooperates
with national and international information centres [5].
   The concept of Open Access to scientific publications gives the theoretical basis of
a model of access to scientific knowledge, free from the limitations of traditional
publishing and technologically supported by the Internet. The Scientific Repository of
the Castello Branco Polytechnic Institute functions as an information system that
allows preservation, storage and dissemination of scientific knowledge produced at
the university. The repository promotes open access, increases the visibility and
citation level of the scientific works, promotes minimizing plagiarism of content. The
study was conducted to analyze the efficiency of the repository by considering the
evolution and growth of the number of users, archiving and self-archiving, the
number of published scientific documents. A survey distributed among members of
the community was also conducted. The research shows that the strategy of repository
functioning is correct, but needs improvement to increase the access of users to the
information resources [14].
   Thus, the functional and content potential of scientific social networks is an
organic component of scientific research in following aspects: legislative and
normative regulation of information retrieval, scientometric research, conceptual
modelling of information needs, use of social networks in information search
technologies, the functioning of institutional repositories of scientific documents in
the system of scientific and traditional communication.


4       Formalization of technical characteristics of scientific
        content

The technical characteristics of the scientific content determine the type of
information recorded in the electronic document and the options for accessing it.
Analysis of the system of presentation and dissemination of scientific content based
on the journal model has allowed distinguishing two groups of indicators:

─ features of types of information recording;
─ information availability features (see Table 1).

                    Table 1. Technical characteristics of scientific content

  Formalization and systematic elaboration of technical characteristics is an
important element for the implementation of a software-algorithmic complex of
search and evaluation of the quality of scientific content. The mechanism for
determining these characteristics is content analysis through specialized search
engines. The main purpose of these characteristics is to determine indicators of such
scientific content as cross-platforming, accessibility and visibility.
   We consider the cross-platforming of scientific content as an opportunity to use it
via various software and hardware platforms. This metric is determined by the
features of the types of information recording, such as File format and File size:
                  CTFS(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑖 )𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTFS) +𝐶𝐹𝐹(CTFF(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑖 )𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTFF)
𝐶𝑜𝑛𝐶𝑃(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑖 ) =                                                       ,                          (1)
                               𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTFS) +𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTFF)

where 𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTFS) , 𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTFF) – weighting coefficients of the relevant characteristics;
0 < 𝐶𝐹𝐹(CTFF(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑖 ) < 1 – the coefficient of the characteristic File format of
scientific content.

   We define the accessibility of the scientific content as a measure of the user's
ability to process content. This metric is determined by information accessibility
characteristics such as the Availability of abstracts, Full-text availability, and the
feature of the type of information recording, such as File access rights:
                  CTFA(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑖 )𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTFA) +CTAM(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑖 )𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTAM) +CTFT(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑖 )𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTFT)
𝐶𝑜𝑛𝐴𝑐𝑐(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑖 ) =                                                                             ,   (2)
                                   𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTFA) +𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTAM) +𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTFT)

where 𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTFA) , 𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTAM) , 𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTFT) – weighting coefficients of the relevant
characteristics.

   Visibility of scientific content is defined as an indicator of the availability of
electronic document versions on other Internet resources. This metric is determined
by information accessibility features, such as the Number of available versions,
Accessibility via social networks, Accessibility via e-archives / repositories:
                  𝐶𝑇𝐹𝑇(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑖 )𝐶𝑊𝐹 (𝐶𝑇𝐹𝑇) +CTSN(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑖 )𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTSN) +CTFR(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑖 )𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTFR)
𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑉𝑖𝑠(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑖 ) =                                                                         ,       (3)
                                  𝐶𝑊𝐹 (𝐶𝑇𝐹𝑇) +𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTSN) +𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTFR)

where 𝐶𝑊𝐹 (𝐶𝑇𝐹𝑇) , 𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTSN) , 𝐶𝑊𝐹 (CTFR) – weighting coefficients of the relevant
characteristics.
   Weighting coefficients can be set by the expert method. Their value varies
depending on the particular information needs of different groups of consumers of
scientific content.
   By the proposed basic technical indicators, we define a comprehensive indicator of
the usability of scientific content:

𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑈𝑠(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑖 ) = 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝐶𝑃(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑖 ) + 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝐴𝑐𝑐(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑖 ) + 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑉𝑖𝑠(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑖 )                                     (4)

   These indicators are important for decision-making in evaluating the quality of
scientific sources for the convenience and ease of meeting the information needs of
consumers of scientific content.
5      Results

Following the chosen methodology, we analyze the positioning of social networks in
the system of certain formalized technical characteristics of scientific content:

 Format: HTML - only if the full text of the article is presented on the journal site in
  HTML format;
 Permissions: reading and downloading the article is possible from the journal site
  without prior registration and payment;
 File size: downloadable PDF file size
 Preview accessibility:

─ "full text" if there is a full text of the article directly on the journal's web site that
  does not need to be pre-load for familiarization (in HTML or PDF format);
─ abstract, keywords, references are directly on the journal's web site that do not
  need to be preloaded for familiarization (in HTML format);

 Full text availability:

─ journal site, if full text is available from the journal web site without prior
  registration;
─ social networks, if the full text of the article can be viewed or downloaded from the
  author's profile on the social network;
─ e-archives / repositories if the full text of the article can be viewed or downloaded
  from the e-archives / repositories;

 Number of versions available: the number of versions of the publication that were
  identified using the Google Scholar search engine.

   A total of 200 recent scientific publications, presented on 40 Open Access
periodicals (10 journals in each quartile Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4) indexed in the Scopus
abstract database in the Library and Information subject area, were analyzed. The
results of the statistical analysis of the collected analytical data to establish the
conformity of scientific content to certain technical characteristics and the positioning
of scientific social networks in the system of presentation of scientific content are
presented in table 2.

   As the results of the study show, the most common format for presenting scientific
content is PDF searchable image exact (87% of all analyzed publications), which
allows to view, copy and search within a document. An interesting thing is when
audio archives have been added to the publication. Although all the analyzed
scientific journals are distributed according to the principle of open science, 5% of
them require pre-registration to get acquainted with the archive of issues, which we
consider as a barrier in meeting information needs.
   The size of electronic documents within the analyzed sample of journals varies
widely and is determined directly by the requirements of the editorial board for the
volume and content of scientific publications. However, the analytical data revealed a
certain pattern: the average size of publication files in 1st and 2nd quartiles' jornals is
1.5-2.5 times larger than in 3rd and 4th quartiles' jornals.
   An analysis of the access rights to electronic scientific documents showed that 5%
of scientific publications do not allow downloading, which complicates their
processing by users. Accessibility in preview mode is determined by the ability to
read the scientific content without having to download it. The analyzed publications
are available in preview mode in different volumes: 82% - abstract; 67% - full text;
62% are keywords; 37% - citation list.
   An important aspect of the convenience of meeting information needs is the
dissemination of scientific content through alternative information resources:
specialized social networks for scholars (49% of publications) and repositories (56%
of publications). Interestingly, the number of publications posted on the personal
profiles of scientists on social networks is the same regardless of quartile. That is,
social networks act as an active medium for promoting scientific content directly by
its author. Concerning e-archives and repositories, the smallest number of
publications placed in these resources belongs to 1 quartile. This can be explained by
the fact that the first quartile editions are in the highest positions of the ratings and do
not make additional promotion. In contrast, lower-ranked editions seek to improve
their visibility.
   Google Scholar search has identified scientific social networks with available full-
text versions of the analyzed publications: Research Gate and Academia.edu
(see Figure 1).




          Fig. 1. Allocation of versions of scientific publications on social networks

The leader in the placement of full-text versions of the analyzed publications in all
quartiles is the specialized social network for scientists Research Gate. Throughout
the sample, Research Gate offers access to 88 publications as opposed to
Academia.edu, which offers access only to 11 publications. In general, social
networks provide access to full-text versions of 49% of the analyzed publications,
which significantly improves their visibility and helps to improve the information
needs of consumers of scientific content.
6      Conclusion

An important aspect of evaluating the quality of scientific content is determining the
level of convenience of meeting information needs. In the context of the
implementation of the journal model for the presentation and dissemination of
scientific content through Internet resources, a major problem is to bring the technical
characteristics of electronic scientific documents in line with the priorities of users.
On this basis, two groups of formalized technical characteristics of scientific content
were formed:

─ features of the types of recording information that covers the File format, File size,
  File access type;
─ accessibility features of the information that covers the Availability of abstract
  materials, Full-text availability, Number of available versions, Accessibility via
  social networks, Accessibility via e-archives / repositories.

Proposed characteristic are the basis for determining such indicators as cross-
platforming, accessibility and visibility of the scientific content, as well as a
comprehensive indicator of the usability of scientific content.
   These indicators are important for decision-making in evaluating the quality of
scientific sources to meet the information needs of consumers of scientific content.
An essential element in determining the accessibility, visibility and overall usability
of scientific content is its availability via social networks.
   The analysis of scientific publications of periodicals indexed in the Scopus
database regarding the correspondence of the formed groups of technical
characteristics allowed positioning scientific social networks in the system of
presentation and distribution of content. It is found that social networks provide
access to full-text versions of 49% of the analyzed publications, which significantly
improves their visibility and helps to increase the level of satisfaction of information
needs of consumers of scientific content. In parallel with social networks, the practice
of placing scientific documents in e-archives and university repositories, which
contain full-text versions of 56% of all analyzed publications, is actively used. The
leader in the placement of full-text versions of the analyzed publications in all
quartiles is the specialized social network for scientists Research Gate.
