Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the National Bibliometric Tool (NBT) as a relevant source for the assessment of national science whose use and impact are increasing. NBT is a national digital repository that stores, classifies and measures public data on the scientific contributions of researchers from Moldova1. NBT was developed by the Information Society Development Institute as part of the project “The National Bibliometric Tool Development” implemented in the period of 2010-2011. Compared to international databases NBT provides broader coverage of local scientific production and reflects the evolution of national flow of publications. At the moment the National Bibliometric Tool includes about 38,000 articles from 93 scientific journals. The system is in a gradual completion phase and includes the scientific articles published in the period of 2000-2015. NBT is intended for different categories of users and provides for visualizing information on publishing articles of an author, distributing journals and articles according to scientific domains, displaying the dynamics of articles publication, etc. NBT ensures the automation of monitoring how journals comply with the criteria regarding their recognition as scientific publications in the field.
