Scopus and WOS have become famous not only among academics, but also among professionals who are not directly researchers. In Ukraine, the popularity of these scientometric bases is explained by the requirements of laws and universities, where publications in Scopus and WOS have become almost mandatory. This is especially true for scientists from developing countries, who are trying to compete with scientists from more developed countries, which creates the effect of “chasing the leaders”. However, it should be understood that the role of Scopus and WOS is much broader than just academic, and this trend is growing.
The modern world requires specialists, regardless of their professional field, to be involved in scientific processes. Scopus and WOS have gradually become an alternative to patenting and an important tool for securing ideas, research and inventions, allowing specialists to prove their competence at the international level. This has become important for image, career, migration and grant purposes.
Publications in Scopus and WOS also help professionals working in non-academic fields to build a personal brand and increase their competitiveness in the labor market. This trend will only grow, as the qualification requirements of modern specialists include not only diplomas and certificates, but also scientific publications.
