University professor: scientific trajectory in the conditions of integration and internationalization
The article considers the concept and the basis of the legal status of a professor of a Russian university. Comparisons with a similar position in France and Germany are given. According to the results of a comparative analysis of legal acts of Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, significant differences in scientometric indicators for applicants for the degree of Doctor of Law were revealed. The differences in the criteria for awarding the academic title of professor in the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union are shown. The opinion is expressed about the negative impact of this differentiation on labor mobility and academic mobility. It is concluded that the achievement of scientific indicators is necessary throughout the active creative life of the professor. The tendency of “internationalization” of publication activity is revealed, since the requirements for the availability of publications indexed in international databases are present in legal acts regulating various aspects of the professor's activity. It is recommended to take this factor into account when building the scientific trajectory of a modern professor.
