Abstract
For each nation, international scientific cooperation (ISC) is an imperative for integration into the international scientific community, a measure of contribution in the global stock of knowledge and an indication of progress. However, ISC in Ukraine had to face several significant barriers: financial, due to socio-economic transformations accompanied by severe financial crisis, that, however, led to building up the model of cost-ineffective market economy in Ukraine, insensitive to R&D and innovation; informational, related with shortage of funds for information supply to national R&D performers; motivational, as the standard international criterion for the R&D performance assessment, publications and reviews in distinguished international scientific journals, is not adopted in Ukraine for the R&D performance assessment. Due to these barriers, integration of the Ukrainian R&D into the international research community has been, by far, uneven, unequal and, consequently, inefficient.
