Scientometric assessment of the life science performance in Ukraine for the years of 1991, 1996 and 2006 is made on the basis of 13 biological journals of the NAS of Ukraine, and four modules of indicators. The first module reflects relations of Ukrainian biological journals with the international research community, aiming to produce data on distribution of papers in Ukrainian biological journals by authors' country of residence (separately for the former USSR and the other world). The second one reflects the publication activity of Ukrainian authors by scientific department, to produce data on publication activity of Ukrainian researchers in Ukrainian biological journals by administrative department (the NAS of Ukraine, the Ministry for Education and Science, etc.). The third one reflects the publication activity in Ukrainian biological journals by Ukrainian regions, to produce the relevant data. The fourth one is based on information about bibliographic references attached to papers, to have data about the contribution of basic institutes in the total number of publications in Ukrainian biological journals having Ukrainian addresses, and about the structure of bibliographic references in five Ukrainian biological journals (of the above mentioned 13) included, since 1991, in SCI database. As far as international context is concerned, the study shows the declining contribution in the above journals from authors of the former USSR and other world in 1991-1996, which affected the international merit of Ukrainian biology. Publication activity of authors from other world, although increased, remained quite insignificant in 2006, which is a consequence of many problems faced by biological field in Ukraine over the latest 15 years.

Main indicators of international scientific cooperation include 8 groups: trips abroad; participation in international conferences; scales and destination of scientific emigration; number of international S&T agreements; scales of participation in international scientific organizations; awarded international prizes; R&D funding from abroad; publication activity. The first six groups are not commonly adopted by the international scientific community, while the Ukrainian statistics uses mainly the first two groups. Ukraine fails to estimate the publication activity, because the statistics office uses data coming from research organizations and universities, instead of relevant international databases. Evaluation of the publication activity in Ukraine in social sciences and humanities according to international standards shows a small share of publications in this field in the total amount of publications (about 3%, against 15% for developed countries), and strong yearly variations in the publications' number. The answer why Ukrainian researchers pose so badly in the scope of international publications may be found in the two reasons. The first one is related with the specificity of this field, and the second one is related to the specificity of evaluation of researchers' performance in Ukraine, where the evaluation criterion is linked to the number of publications in journals fixed in the so-called 'lists of the Higher Evaluation Commission, but not in the leading peer reviewed international journals
