METHODOLOGICAL BASIS OF LITERATURE REVIEW IN THE FIELD OF MINING IN THE ONLINE ENVIRONMENT FOR UKRAINIAN SCIENTISTS
Purpose. To develop methodological principles for the systematization, analysis, and evaluation of literature sources in the field of mining within the internet space, adapted to the needs of Ukrainian scientists. This will enhance the effectiveness of scientific research, ensure compliance with current quality standards for scientific information, and optimize the process of searching for and selecting relevant sources.
Findings. Recommendations have been developed for the systematic search, analysis, and evaluation of literature sources in the field of mining within the internet space, considering the needs of Ukrainian scientists. An algorithm for utilizing authoritative scientific databases, digital libraries, and specialized thematic resources has been proposed. This algorithm comprises the stages of search, preliminary analysis, and selection of relevant materials.
A methodology for the preliminary analysis of sources has been defined, involving the assessment of their relevance, scientific novelty, compliance with current research standards, and significance for mining science. An approach to classifying sources by thematic areas, publication types (monographs, scientific articles, regulatory acts), and chronological frameworks has been developed.
The methodology for conducting an analytical literature review has been substantiated, incorporating the summarization of source content, identification of key concepts, dominant trends, and scientific discussions in the mining industry. Criteria for evaluating the scientific value of sources have been established, based on indicators such as citation index, impact factor of the publication, author credibility, and contribution to the development of the field.
A structural model for the literature review has been proposed, encompassing the introduction, main thematic sections, critical analysis, and conclusions. The stages of integrating the literature review into scientific research are outlined, including the identification of research gaps and the justification of promising directions for further studies in the field of mining.
Results. The conducted research allows us to state that the application of a systematic approach to literature review in the field of mining contributes to improving the quality of scientific analysis and identifying key trends and research gaps. The assessment of scientific gaps identified important directions for further research, including the development of integrated methodologies utilizing modern digital technologies. Furthermore, the research results highlighted the importance of improving methods for evaluating the relevance and scientific impact of sources in the digital environment, which will contribute to enhancing scientific reviews and their effectiveness in the context of the digital transformation of the scientific space.
The originality. Scientific novelty. For the first time, methodological principles for conducting a systematic literature review in the field of mining within the digital space have been developed, taking into account the specific characteristics of scientific activity among Ukrainian researchers. A structured approach to the analysis and systematization of sources has been proposed, based on modern methods for evaluating scientific information and adapted to the digital research environment. An algorithm for the classification and selection of sources has been developed, considering the particularities of mining science, including the influence of technological and regulatory changes on research development. Enhanced criteria for assessing the scientific significance of literature sources have been established, improving the objectivity, reliability, and relevance of the obtained results. The necessity of integrating modern digital technologies and algorithmic analysis methods has been substantiated to enhance the effectiveness of scientific reviews.
Practical implementation. The proposed methodological principles will assist Ukrainian researchers in preparing high-quality systematic literature reviews for dissertations, articles, and reports. The algorithm optimizes the process of searching and analyzing sources, reducing time and resource expenditures. A structured approach enables the identification of scientific problems and prospects in the mining sector. Recommendations for source evaluation contribute to the development of knowledge bases, educational materials, and the improvement of scientific information management.
