Abstract. The study aims to examine the potential of scientific social networks as a tool for scientists’ academic mobility. Using the data of the author’s empirical research (survey of scientific social networks users, N=200), the paper sheds light on the most common communicative practices of scientific social networks users, their value attitudes and practical expectations in the field of scientific networking, analyses the social connections formed in scientific social networks, as well as the successful experience of scientists’ direct academic collaborations on the basis of scientific social networks. The study is novel in that it summarises from a socio-philosophical perspective the findings of the empirical research of user practices in scientific social networks. As a result, the author concludes that scientific social networks, despite their significant social and communicative potential, cannot fully serve as a tool for academic mobility and a means for developing academic communities in particular.
