 The concept of a source of scientific
information and its types
The source of scientific information is
a conventional designation of a scientific
document or publication that serves not only
as the most important sources, but also as a
means of transmitting scientific information
in space and time.

According to the form of presentation,

sources of scientific information can be
divided into documentary and electronic.
In the middle of the twentieth century. It was
considered the most important division of
scientific sources according to social status
into published and unpublished, since ideas
and facts were recognized as introduced into
scientific circulation after their publication,
which meant widespread distribution and
official registration of the relevant
documents.
 By form, scientific documents are
distinguished:
text (books,
magazines,
manuscripts, etc.);

graphic or pictorial
(drawings, diagrams,
graphs, plans, maps,
diagrams, etc.);

audiovisual (sound
recordings, films,
