Introduction: The scientific community is increasingly discussing issues of publication ethics, the key of which is the objective description of the author's contribution to the creation of an article manuscript. The existence of a universal system for describing author contributions will avoid cases of honorary and ghost authorship, transparently illuminating the depth of each author's involvement in the work on the manuscript based on the results of the conducted research.

Description of the CREDIT system: Academic tradition dictates the need for each author of an article to participate directly in the creation of its manuscript. The manuscript is a consequence of the conducted research, which requires the active involvement of its actors and a high level of development of their research competence. Hence, the contribution to the authorship of the article is determined not only by participation in the creation of its manuscript, but also by the overall involvement of the research participant in its implementation. The CREDIT authorship model allows for the objective recording of the research energy of each specific actor of the research project, for the balanced formation of research teams. The CRediT taxonomy describes all possible author roles: some of them are independent, and some can only act in pair with a more "strong" role.

Conclusion: A detailed description of the taxonomy and protocol for registering author contributions will allow authors to declare the degree of their own involvement quickly and transparently in the research and record its results.

Background: The article is devoted to the study of creating the tripartite interaction model "university-student-employer" at the National Research University "BelSU". The relevance of the topic is determined by the particular importance of the employment of graduates for assessing the quality of the university work, as well as the need to digitize the past experience of career support and its transformation in response to the challenges of 2020-2022.

Purpose: The purpose of the article is to consider the whole structure and the elements of career support as one of the key areas of the university work and show the role of the career center.

Materials and Methods: The study contains an analysis of the regulatory framework for the organization of targeted training and practice (as a part of practical training), as well as the opportunities provided to the university in the field of employment of its students and graduates. The keystone sources in this issue are the Federal Law "On Education in the Russian Federation", which lays the foundation for the organization of targeted training and practical training in the form of practice, and the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 13.10.2020 No. 1681 "On targeted training in educational programs of secondary vocational and higher education", which reveals the procedure for organizing and implementing training and interaction of the parties in the event of certain situations. Taking into account the experience accumulated at the National Research University "BelSU", relationships that arise in the process of career support and require additional regulation have been established, which was decided by the development of local regulatory legal acts.

Results: Particular emphasis is placed on identifying promising areas of career guidance and employment organization. The author evaluates the effectiveness of the decisions taken by the university recently in the field of career support, and describes in detail the results achieved by 2023. The accumulated experience can be used both for the future transformation of the legislative framework that regulates the legal relationship between students and employers, and can be used by career centers of universities and HR of organizations in their work.

Conclusion: Based on the analysis and generalization of empirical data, successful practices for the formation of career trajectories are described, and frequently occurring problems and ways to solve them are noted separately. Overcoming them is possible only if useful experience is accumulated and the specialized experience and necessary competencies of students or employers are formed, which is possible only if their interaction is competently organized.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic not only challenged the entire educational architecture but also revealed the total unpreparedness of both the teaching and student body to navigate the educational trajectories in an era of uncertainty and digital challenges. The terminology that showed the population's engagement in the digital reality was put to the test, and the so-called "digital millennials" turned out to be under-digitized in practice. It turned out that the necessary level of digital competencies was possessed by a fairly limited group of students and teachers. And if the insufficient readiness of university teachers for blended learning formats and forced online learning can be explained by a number of quite understandable factors, the unpreparedness of young people for an effective transition to digital formats of educational interaction has necessitated a rethinking of the entire educational landscape.

Purpose: To analyze the factors that have pre-determined the difficulties of forced online learning among students in higher education institutions.

Materials and Methods: Students from various metropolitan and regional universities participated in-depth interviews, implemented in three focus groups. The results of the interviews were conceptualized by the authors in order to identify the main barriers to deep digitalization through the prism of student perception. The study involved students from the 3rd, 4th courses of full-time, evening, and correspondence departments, and undergraduates from the Institute of Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary Sanitary Examination and Agro-Security (N = 31), the Institute of Applied Biotechnology named after RAN Academician Iosif Alexandrovich Rogov (N = 33), the Institute of Biotechnology and Global Health (N = 32), the Institute of Industrial Engineering, Information Technologies and Mechatronics (N = 32) of the Russian Biotechnological University, Moscow, as well as the Russian Customs Academy, Lyubertsy (N = 12) and the Tambov State University named after G.R. Derzhavin (1), who were divided into 3 focus groups: 1st group - 3rd year students from metropolitan and regional universities; 2nd group – 4th-year students from metropolitan and regional universities; 3rd group – undergraduate students from metropolitan and regional universities.

Results: The obtained results allowed us to identify a range of issues among students studying in regions and major cities: (1) a sedentary lifestyle during online learning, (2) technical and psychological difficulties, (3) the inability to conduct laboratory research and experiments, (4) difficulties related to the organization of examination and credit events, (5) gaps in knowledge due to the lack of face-to-face interaction with teachers in the context of home education.

Conclusion: The results obtained allow for optimizing the development and adaptation of digital practice-oriented courses and their placement on online university platforms.

Introduction: The development of virtualization tools, which rapidly unfolded in the 1990s, continues to demonstrate a dynamic trajectory. Modern solutions in this area have significantly evolved and diversified. The relevance of the stated issues in the era of Covid-19 has received an even deeper interpretation.

Purpose: This review analyzes articles on virtualization published during the pandemic years with the aim of identifying virtualization development trends.

Materials and Methods: We conducted a keyword search in the Scopus database. The focus was on articles published in English from December 2019 to December 2022. The authors followed an expanded PRISMA-ScR protocol. The search identified 164 articles, of which 131, based on their title and abstract, were marked as relevant.

Results: The selected articles were classified by year of publication, type of publication, country of publication, area of virtualization, mention of Covid-19, and type of virtualization. The articles included in our review indicate that virtualization had already been integrated into all spheres of life before Covid-19. However, the pandemic caused a surge, which accelerated its implementation in various areas, ranging from education and medicine to smart cities and computer technologies.

Conclusion: The presented review of the subject area allowed us to identify sectors of public life that significantly influenced virtualization during the Covid19 years, as well as the most actively developing forms of virtualization, in particular, those that allow segregating computational processes and resources. It was recorded that modern solutions in the field of virtualization have significantly diversified compared to previous years and can be classified into separate categories.

Purpose. To identify and describe the main trajectories of academic career development in the educational and research space.

Materials and Methods. The subject field review was based on the PRISMA protocol. Sources were selected from the ScienceDirect and RINC databases. The timeframe of the study is from 2012 to 2022. The development of an academic career was considered in the focus of social-cognitive theory.

Results. Initially, 6121 articles were extracted by keywords, of which 127 articles fully met the inclusion criteria for the study (40 in Russian and 87 in English). The characteristics of academic career development were identified in three thematic blocks: (1) individual characteristics and personal resources, (2) contextual influences on the development of an academic career, and (3) active regulation of behavior in the context of an academic career. The main trends in the development of an academic career in Russian and foreign academic practice were identified.

Conclusion: In Russia, interest in the issue under study is quite limited, which does not coincide with the focuses of foreign research.

Introduction: Developments in biotechnology are a priority direction in economic development, with pharmaceuticals being the largest consumer of biotechnological products. The biopharmaceutical industry includes the production of antibiotics, immunobiological drugs, hormones and preparations based on them, vitamins, preparations containing cultures of microorganisms, amino acids, biologically active additives (BAA), medical materials, and diagnostic equipment.

Purpose: To analyze the labor market trends of the industry in 2021-2022, the attractiveness of the industry for young specialists, and the strategies for attracting relevant specialists to the production process.

Realities of the Labor Market in the Biopharmaceutical Industry: Despite the reduction in investments from Western investors, the attractiveness of the labor market in the biopharmaceutical field has significantly increased, which, on the one hand, has led to an increased demand for skilled employees, and on the other hand, has resulted in higher salaries in companies. An increasing number of Russian companies are ready to collaborate with relevant universities.

Conclusion: The biotechnological and biopharmaceutical industries are in a stage of active development, the need for highly qualified specialists has increased, and companies are ready to train young employees.
