Scientometric Assessment of the Kutafin Law Review Journal and its Potential for the Development of Library Science Research

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the analysis of the Kutafin Law Review (KuLawR) journal as a potentially significant resource for the library industry, which is experiencing a shortage of specialized academic legal publications. The paper examines the scientometric indicators of the KuLawR (indexing in Scopus, and Google Scholar), its thematic focus (digitalization of law, intellectual property, and open access) and their intersection with the problems of the library sector. Special attention is paid to the journal’s potential for publishing research at the intersection of jurisprudence and library science, which could contribute to the development of legal regulation of library activities. The analysis positions the Kutafin Law Review as a significant interdisciplinary platform that bridges legal and library sciences. Future research trajectories include a detailed webometric analysis of the Journal’s international audience, a systematic examination of review articles, and developing methodologies to assess the impact of publications on library practices. Overall, the Kutafin Law Review holds significant potential for advancing library science research, fostering dialogue between lawyers and librarians, and enhancing intellectual sovereignty through legal regulation of digital library resources.
