The types of periodicals in the updated DSTU 3017 “Publications. Main types. Terms and definitions”: the guestions that remain open
Abstract
On July 1, 2016, a new DSTU 3017: 2015 “Editions. Main Types.
Terms and Definitions” became law. As in the previous 1995 standard, it
represents classification of both periodical and non-periodical editions.
The subject of the study is peculiarities of domestic standardization of
periodicals’ types. The article analyses the classification of periodicals, as reflected in the updated DSTU 3017. The article aims at identifying positive innovations in the standard and attracting attention of scientists to the controversial issues presented classification. The achievements are as follows: the validity of definitions; the presence of hierarchy in the list of publications. The main shortcomings include: the absence of classifications of periodicals on a number of criteria (the reading assignment, the place of issue and the scope of dissemination, the nature of exposure, the type of registration, the characteristics of a publisher); the lack of guidance for description of typological characteristics of publications in the output information; the lack of reflection of the results of modern researches on the typology of periodicals; the partial inappropriateness of typological series of periodicals to the real situation in the field of production of periodicals in the country (uncertainty and inconsistency of status of informational and analytical newspapers and magazines, art periodicals, serial publications, etc.); the incomplete definition of serial publications and the invalidity of the term “General political newspaper” (along with the terms “socio-political edition” and “socio- political journal”).
