Recently, the management of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv was interested in the experience of our company in publishing international academic journals and methodologies for assessing the quality of Ukrainian journals (the Journal's International Compliance Index development project).

It is a year since the Memorandum of cooperation has been signed between LLC "Business Perspectives" and Kyiv National Economic University. According to it, University researchers publish their works in journals founded by our company. We are also a publisher for two university journals: Neuro-Fuzzy Modeling Techniques in Economics and Social and Labour Relations: Theory and Practice. Such a cooperation is beneficial for both parties and provides synergistic effect. But there are still opportunities for further development of this partnership. This was discussed at a general meeting at the university (Rector, Professor Dmytro Lukianenko). At the meeting, Business Perspectives was represented by Liudmyla Ostapenko and Serhiy Kozmenko – one of the company's founders.

From now on, the Journals of LLC "Consulting Publishing Company" Business Perspectives" start using the web application “Manuscript Administration System”, which was developed by MindK.

The “Manuscript Administration System” is the first web application for academic journals, which was developed in Ukraine for a Ukrainian publisher with purpose to automate and manage the processes of manuscripts submission, revision, reviewing, etc.

The system has been developed in conjunction with React & Node.js. You don’t need to install any software, you just work with the system online.

On November 27, 2018, a series of business meetings between Liudmyla Ostapenko, the Business Perspectives' CEO, Serhii Kozmenko, the author of the Journal's International Compliance Index, and top managers of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv took place.

In Ukraine, the practice of creating a list of academic journals (for Ukrainian journals) has long been introduced. The list was formed by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. A postgraduate degree seeker should publish several scientific articles in journals from the list. The procedure for the journal inclusion was purely formal, and the requirements were so insignificant that everyone interested should get on the list. In 2018, the Ministry has created new, more severe requirements for journals and classified them into three categories according to complex of formal features.

Upon request from the Publisher (LLC “CPC “Business Perspectives”), Scopus made changes to the list of knowledge branches (ASJC classification codes), according to which the papers are accepted to its journals and according to which the evaluation will be carried out. These changes were already reflected in Scopus Sources September 2018.
