Abstract

The article analyses the current state of Russian scientific economic periodicals, defines the purposes of scientific journals publishing articles on Economics and Economic Sciences, in light of the problems of the Russian economy development. The role of "packaging" the scientific articles in the form of journal issues, which facilitates the reader's orientation in the world of scientific publications, is shown. The necessity of maintaining and expanding the populations of specialised and general economic journals as a kind of intermediary between readers and authors is substantiated. Particular attention is paid to the mission of the economic journal as a carrier of reliable knowledge. The necessity of demythologisation of the Russian economic discourse, i.e. the rejection of a number of popular theoretical concepts that are uncritically and extensively used to solve practical economic problems is one of the tasks of the scientific periodicals. The expediency of coordinating the activities of the leading domestic economic journals and the creation of an association of such publications is explained. The functions of such an association may include: coordination of the activities of Russian economic journals in the field of preparation of publications on Economics and Economic Sciences; development of recommendations on changing (expanding or narrowing) the composition of journals publishing articles on Economics and Economic Sciences, taking into account the classification of journals; development of recommendations on determining the quality of publications and the quality of journals; improvement of the quality of articles' review by creating a single base of reviewers, etc.
