The new geopolitical landscape is impacting international cooperation in science and education. The government has set the objective of reforming how scientific work is appraised in light of recent sanctions, with the aim of encouraging innovation-led economic growth. The establishment of a national scientometric system is central to this, as efforts are made to improve legal regulation in the field of science.
• Changing approaches to scientometrics, including statistics relating to numbers of publications, digitalizing the big data system, and recording scientific results which will be used to support innovation-led socioeconomic development.
• Developing assessment criteria for scientific work, with the aim of coming up with rapid responses and supporting long-term development, including with regard to legal support for grants and other forms of competitive support.
• Development prospects for areas related to outcomes of scientific work, including number of publications, improving academic citation databases, and developing a federal programme to support leading Russian scientific journals.
