The status of the study of phyto-diversity of Eastern Europe through the prism of one of scientific journals

The scientometric analysis of the publication activity of the narrow-profile Botanical periodical "Phytovariety of Eastern Europe"is carried out. Identified 10 main subject areas of published articles in the journal. They cover all the main problems associated with a comprehensive study of floral diversity. For the first time the analysis of geographical confinement of regions in the articles published by the journal is carried out. The main conclusion is that the journal "phyto Diversity of Eastern Europe" has firmly established its niche among other journals of close profile. The journal's publications characterize the state of floristic diversity in various regions of Eastern Europe, as well as other vast territories (Siberia, the Far East). A number of publications in the journal have theoretical significance.
