Abstract
International scientific communication is acquiring ever greater economic, political and cultural importance, it more and more influences the development of stable international relations not only in the sphere of science and education. The aim of this research is to determine how much international scientific communication is based on academic values. This communication cannot be founded on non-scientific values and interests since that leads to science losing its own criteria of success in scientific activities and, correspondingly, to the loss of science advancement strategy in general. Science cannot adjust itself to extraneous opportunistic interests, on the contrary – it must propose scientific solutions to highly relevant specific practical problems from other social systems – economy, politics, law etc. Therefore, international scientific communication not merely advances the authority of academic values but is itself based on academic values as a guarantee of unfaltering compliance with scientific interests in the development of not only scientific or educational projects but also of those related to industry, defense, culture etc. Over the recent 5 years, scholars of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine have been confidently enhancing their participation in international publishing. The percentage of Ukrainian scientists’ publications in foreign scientific journals in relation to their publications in Ukrainian ones has increased from 28% in 2018 to 36% in 2022. Neither COVID-19 pandemic nor the full-scale russia’s military invasion of Ukraine in 2022 could inhibit this steady growth.
