description In September 2021, the Institute of Far Eastern Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences celebrated its 55th anniversary. In the article T.E. Gorchakova and O.I. Kazakov, the former heads of the eliminated in 2020–2021 divisions (the Center for Scientific Information and Records and the Department of Scientometrics and Information Technologies), recall the movement of the IFES RAS from an almost closed research Institute towards the implementation of the concept of Open Science in terms of publication activities of the organization's researchers and the introduction of scientometrics. The need for “openness” was caused by a change in state approaches to assessing the activities of research institutes that had been a part of the Russian Academy of Sciences previously. After the “reform of the Russian Academy of Sciences” in 2013, they became subordinate organizations initially to the Federal Agency for Scientific Organizations (FASO) of Russia, and from May 15, 2018 onwards – to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. There appeared such fundamentally new (in comparison with the USSR period) approaches as assessment of the publication activity of scientists according to the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI), as well as the need for the Russian scientists to index their publications in international scientific citation systems such as, for example, the Web of Science Core Collection. This approach required a serious revision of the IFES RAS policy of openness of its scientific activity, as well as the adoption of a number of organizational decisions.
