The traditional IV intra-University pedagogical conference of the teaching staff was held at the Volga region Academy of sports. Andrey Loktev, consultant on analytical solutions of Elsevier publishing house, became the headliner of the event.Elsevier is one of the four largest scientific publishing houses in the world, annually publishing about a quarter of all articles published in the world of scientific journals. Loktev spoke in Povolzhskaya Academy with a lecture on "Methodology of preparation of articles for magazines system of citation Scopus". The expert shared with teachers and researchers information on how to approach the choice of what criteria should meet the work of the author and what you need to pay attention to when making to his work received a proper response in the scientific community...speech Lokteva caused a strong reaction. The consultant was bombarded with questions. Some tried to argue with the speaker, but this reaction did not surprise him, and even pleased: - such meetings are the main form of our communication. Most of the time we spend in the format of training subscribers. We go, tell how to publish articles using Scopus. In Kazan I was pleased with the number of teachers who came to the meeting. This is not the case everywhere. By the way, the Volga region Academy is the first sports University that sets a high bar for the preparation of scientific publications. Now around this process, there are many myths, often researchers receive incorrect information through other channels. If physicists and chemists have been in this process for several decades, it is often difficult for researchers-humanitarians to answer certain questions for themselves, they are looking for the shortest path, which is not always correct. Many Russian researchers in the field of physical culture and sports today are closed in the Russian market. There is an idea that science is developing separately from the world. Although it is sports science could be actively involved in the international research process. Abroad, research in the field of sports medicine, physiology is carried out at times more than in Russia. The growth potential here is huge. And distrust is due to lack of experience with foreign literature or simply ignorance. I am sure that most of the teachers working in the industry have never used or have recently mastered Scopus as a tool. Today it is important for us that this resource was in demand, properly used, so that organizations implementing a national subscription to Scopus, saw the impact in the form of an article of better quality, citing..."the importance of the University today is judged by scientometric indicators, - says Vice-rector for research and international activities of the Academy, Professor Firuza Zotova. - Our task is to help teachers to understand how to choose worthy journals for their scientific works, what mistakes to avoid when writing and designing articles, because only writing the name of our University there are 6 options!The next" hot " topic of the conference was the speech of the Vice-rector for academic Affairs Almaz Galimov, who spoke about the transition of the University in 2019 to the implementation of educational programs that meet the new Federal standards of higher education. The practical part of the conference program was continued by round tables and master classes of University teachers - associate Professor of the Department of socio-economic and humanitarian disciplines Julia Shabalina, head of the Department of service and tourism, associate Professor Lyudmila Petrik, head of the Department of sports management, recreation and sports tourism, Professor Galina Golubeva and head of the Department of adaptive physical culture and life safety, associate Professor Larisa Parfenova.The full house gathered a round table in the laboratory of the educational and scientific center under the chairmanship of the head of the Department of medical and biological disciplines, associate Professor Andrei Nazarenko, told colleagues about modern approaches in assessing the physical performance of the athlete. The final part of the conference program was the report of the senior lecturer of the Department of service and tourism Alsu Matasova on the experience of teaching the discipline "Restaurant and hotel service" in English. From this academic year at the Academy of part of the classes for future professionals in the field of tourism services is conducted in English. The performance of Mataniwai aroused great interest in the hall and the living reaction of the rector. Yusup Yakubov, concluding the conference, told the audience that soon teachers from the friendly University of Novi Sad will come to Kazan again. - And what language do you think our Slavic brothers teach? – asked the room of the rector? - Of course, in English!
