The article deals with the coverage of support for the initiative of open access to scientific information how it is reflected in the normative documents of Ukraine. The fact that Ukraine has legally supported the provision of open access to the results of scientific research created at the expense of the state budget, which is reflected in the Law of Ukraine «On the Fundamental Principles of Information Society Development in Ukraine for 2007-2015» of January 9, 2007, is considered as very important one. To date, a number of regulatory documents have been prepared, both by the legislature and the executive authorities, which determine mechanisms for collecting, storing and ensuring open access to scientific publications. The vast majority of them are devoted to the work of scientific repositories. Legal documents outline the mechanisms of creation and functioning of the National Repository of Academic Texts, repositories of scientific journals of Ukraine, and state the importance of creating a university repositories. These normative documents made it possible to form the repository «Scientific Periodicals of Ukraine», which is one of the largest repositories of scientific publications in Cyrillic in the world, operating under open access conditions. In November 2019, this resource has 2726 magazines, 1044.6 thousand full texts of publications. The active creation of university repositories in Ukraine should be noted. But the repositories of scientific institutions of the NAS of Ukraine are represented very little. Obviously, regulatory documents should be prepared with appropriate financial support. Ukrainian legislation requires the development and maintenance of open access journals. It is very positive that the Ukrainian authorities understand that it is necessary to ensure the reliable storage of arrays of scientific publications in an unstable digital environment.

The article deals with the problem of forming professional educational trajectories of health care managers in the context of modern Ukrainian realities, which are characterized by complexity, instability, ambiguity, and variability. The main directions of the research problem, which are carried out by Ukrainian scientists and educators mainly in the areas of implementation of the mechanisms of personnel support for public authorities have been determined. The scientific literature shows that the pedagogical aspect of the problem of health care managers training has not been comprehensively considered. The article emphasizes the need to regulate the interaction of the educational services and the labor markets to coordinate and balance actions in health care managers training for the interests of society and the state in the long term. The method of expert assessments is implemented by processing the opinions of experienced specialists (stakeholders) about the requirements to health care managers, taking into account the peculiarities of professional activity in changing and crisis situations of the health care sector. The most important competencies that contribute to health care managers' effectiveness in their professional activity have been identified. A competent model of the health care manager has been developed, taking into account management functions and professional activities in crisis situations. The professional trajectory of development of specialists in health care public management and administration, which is reflected in the meta-profile of the educational program offered by Donetsk National Medical University is proposed.
