The article reveals the methodology of the terminological approach, shows the importance of its combination with scientometric analysis. It presents the works of the Research Department of Library Science of the Institute of Scientific Information on Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences (INION RAN) to the creation of the conceptual apparatus of regional ecosystems of scientific creativity in such areas as the development of state standards and publication of abstract, information and analytical materials.  The significance of the terminological standard "Bibliometric indicators. Terms and definitions, measurement structure", the first edition of which was prepared in accordance with the national standardization plan for 2024. The grounds for the creation of the standard, the main goals and objectives of its development are presented, the characteristics of the object of standardization are given, the scope of the standard and its technical and economic efficiency are shown. The terms related to the bibliometric assessment of young researchers’ activities, including foreign ones and the creation of the system of reliable information are noted. The importance of the INION RAN collection "Actual problems of library and information sciences" (2024) in the study of the modern foreign terminological system of scientific, library and publishing activities is shown. Attention is drawn to the presence of the subject index to the collection of 249 lexical units based on the analysis of 285 works on library and information sciences by American, German, English and Chinese researchers. The potential of the Youth Scientific Laboratory of the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of the Donetsk People's Republic for elaborating the concept of forming regional ecosystems of scientific creativity is marked. Along with the study of the conceptual apparatus of the ecosystem of scientific creativity based on the terminological approach, the program for further monitoring and analysis of ecosystems of scientific creativity, as well as the list of terms, are presented.
