title: [Place of "Ukrainskogo biokhimicheskogo zhurnal" (Ukrainian Biochemical Journal) in the world information flow in the field of biochemistry].
abstract: A comparative statistical analysis of scientific publications of "Ukrainian Biochemical Journal" (UBJ), Biokhimiya (Biochemistry USSR), "Biochemistry" USA has been made. Information analysis was based on the data of annual reference publication "Journal Citation Reports" (JCR) and lists of bibliographic citation in the papers of UBJ and Biokhimiya in 1981, 1986 and 1991. It is found out that as to the composition of publications cited by the UBJ and "Biochemistry" USSR and frequency of their use the journals coincide more frequently than each of them (by this index) coincides with "Biochemistry" USA, that evidences for the difference of the use of information files. The number of references in leading journals to "Biochemistry" USA (1978-1988) is much higher of the works from UBJ (100 times) and "Biochemistry" USSR (30 times). Besides, considerable differences in the contents of the journals where there are references of UBJ and "Biochemistry" USA. For the IF-factor of the journal influence, index of dynamics of information response the UBJ is inconsiderably different from "Biochemistry" USSR and they both considerably yield to "Biochemistry" USA. The analysis results are discussed in the plan of finding out the role of UBJ in the world information stock in the field of biochemistry and possible ways of its increase.
