The Role of Abstracts and Their English Texts in Modern Scientific and Technical Periodicals
We examine various types of secondary sources of information focusing on the most frequently used one - summaries and abstracts. The purpose of this research is to increase the researcher’ attention to the role of abstracts in their scientific publications. The objectives of the research are as follows: to increase the international competitiveness of domestic universities and scientists in international rankings. The article defines the abstract and identifies a number of characteristic features that distinguish it from traditional annotations. The authors emphasize the need to teach how to write abstracts and summaries, taking into account the international requirements, so as to raise the citation index of scientific articles, and, accordingly, the international competitiveness of domestic educational institutions. One of the methods is overcoming linguistic and semantic problems by developing specialized dictionaries for specific fields of science and technology. The key to success is the close cooperation of philologists with international public associations of scientists in various subject areas.
