review text: The author computes explicit measures of transcendence for values of some generalized hypergeometric functions \(f\) and their derivatives by applying a general theorem from one of his previous papers [\textit{V. V. Zudilin}, Sb. Math. 187, No. 12, 1791--18181 (1996); translation from Mat. Sb. 187, No. 12, 57--86 (1996; Zbl 0878.11030)]. Let \((E)\) be the linear differential equation of order \(m\) satisfied by \(f\), and denote by \(\Psi_1,\dots, \Psi_m\) a fundamental system of solutions of \((E)\). The problem in applying the above general theorem consists in proving that the functions \(\Psi_j^{(n-1)}\), with \(j\), \(n=1, \dots,m\), are homogeneously algebraically independent over \(\mathbb C(z)\). In the present paper, the author solves it by using results on Galois groups of linear differential equations [\textit{N. M. Katz}, Differential Galois groups, Princeton (1990)].
