Five cost-effective measures for increasing competitiveness of the named countries are proposed . They are connected with active involvement of universities and scientific organizations in the international movement of open access, stimulation of publication activity of researchers, promotion of domestic journals in Scopus and Web of Science databases, wide implementation of training activities and by enhancing international academic communication.
