Scientific Results: The National Assessment System
Pavilion F, conference hall F21
A system capable of fully evaluating the effectiveness of scientific work can form the foundation for fulfilling priorities related to Russia’s scientific and technological development. It can help determine where to focus and allocate material and financial resources. In addition, it is crucial for identifying and calculating final results that may indicate scientific innovation, and ultimately, provide a benefit to society. Given the unilateral and politically motivated weakening and fragmentation of international scientific relations, it has become essential to ensure scientific and technological sovereignty. This means that criteria and mechanisms for assessing the effectiveness and differentiation of scientific work should be developed and enshrined in regulation. This would not only benefit scientific organizations, but also universities, scientific teams, and individual scientists. A system evaluating the effectiveness of scientific work (including in the field of national scientometrics) encompasses a number of issues which require conceptually sound strategic solutions at the legislative level. Does legal regulation in the field need to be improved in order to make Russia's scientific and technological development more efficient?
