Abstract

The purpose of the work was to conduct a scientometric analysis of dissertation research in the scientific direction "Organization of drug supply for the population" for the period 1991-2020. The methodological basis of the research was the scientometric method for the analysis of dissertations, which has shown its effectiveness in solving various problems. The formed information array included 205 dissertations on the problems of organizing drug provision. The data obtained were compared both between subject areas and within each subject area at five-year intervals. As a result, we obtained data that made it possible to form the initial (1990s) and current (by 2021) subject profiles of the scientific direction "Organization of drug supply" by subject areas for the period 1991-2020, which reflect the trend of changing the priorities of scientific research for the past 30 years of development of domestic pharmaceutical science.
