| Summary: | As a result of the development of the electronic environment, new actors appear in the scientific communication system, including repositories, mega-journals, and open peer review platforms, all of which operate in accordance with the open science paradigm. At the same time, the results of the work of scientists are still being assessed by traditional databases and scientometric services based mostly on the citation counts, which is often irrelevant for the new projects due to non-compliance with formal criteria of such services. This article discusses the requirements of the Web of Science, Russian Science Citation Index, Scopus, and the Higher Attestation Commission (VAK) for the sources of scientific information, and analyzes 25 projects for compliance with these requirements. It was revealed that some of the new projects do not meet the criteria due to the lack of traditional markers of the scientific publication. Based on the results obtained, a number of recommendations were formulated that will allow to adjust the requirements to reflect the new realities.
