The use of modern methods of thematic analysis for the analytical processing of information is currently used in almost all areas of human activity, including scientometrics. Many scientometric and citation systems, including the world famous WoS, Scopus, Google Shcolar, develop thematic categories for searching and processing information. Most important tasks that can be solved using thematic classification methods are: assessment of the dynamics of the development of thematic areas in the organization, country and in world science; search for articles on a given topic; search and assessment of the authority of experts; search for journal for publication and other relevant tasks. The Lomonosov Moscow State University is currently developing and using the system ISTINA. In this project, algorithms have been created that solve some of the problems listed. Scientific research is underway to create new effective mathematical models and algorithms in this area.

Translated plagiarism has widely spread in a scientific world and posed a serious problem due to the challenges in its automatic detection. However, in the last five years some progress has been observed in this area. The authors of this paper, as well as foreign research team from several universities independently of each other proposed an approach to detect plagiarism based on citation analysis with search of initial source for analyzed suspected paper with the same or similar references. Developed methods of detection of illegal use of borrowed text successfully passed several tests. The report shows the results that we have obtained in the last four years.
