Abstract
We have developed an evaluation procedure and performed an expert evaluation of the Russian academic journals to select promising journals under the “Support of Development Programmes for Academic Journals to Be Indexed in International Scientometric Databases” project. The aim of the article is to describe in detail the methods of the selection process for the project and its primary results. Selection of the journals falls into four stages: development of the preliminary list of journals (2,856 journals in the long list), evaluation of the journals from the preliminary list, evaluation of journal strategic plans and the final selection for financial support. As a result, 100 journals have been selected to be supported financially.
