This article deals with issues of assessing the scientific activity of teams of performers when submitting applications to scientific funds. The purpose of the study is to develop new approaches to the use of scientometric indicators to assess the scientific potential of university teams when submitting applications to scientific foundations. Methodological foundations of the research: a systematic approach (considers science as a social institution in an indissoluble connection with society as a whole), a metasystem approach (considers the results of scientific activity as a metasystem, that is, a system with relatively independent components), a probabilistic-statistical approach (considers research activity as a probabilistic process), qualimetric approach (considers the productivity of scientific activity as a latent variable, reflected by a set of criteria). As a result, the authors proposed: an information model of the relationship between the requirements for a scientific project by the customer, and the level of compliance of the scientific potential of the team of performers and a methodology for assessing the scientific potential of the team of performers when applying for the competition. The information model forms the basis of the developed information system for supporting the project activities of ITMO University, which serves to improve the process and increase the efficiency of preparation of draft applications submitted by the university. The proposed methodology is implemented using scientometric indicators, through software algorithms for automated assessment of scientific potential. In the course of an experimental study, the authors have shown that the proposed approaches correlate with the effectiveness of participation in competitions. The proposed solutions have been successfully integrated into the ITMO University, management system.

Personal Contribution

The article deals with the results of the analysis of international and domestic experience in the use of network services, which can independently evaluate the quality of electronic publications and scientists’ publication activity. It can be achieved by the analysis of the values of scientometric indicators included in the bibliometric open electronic systems. This approach is associated with certain risks of objective evaluation of researchers’ scientific activity efficiency. The conditions for the inclusion of scientific publications in the search systems like Google Scholar are considered. It is concluded that the scientometric base, which is today an international and widely used in practice, should be developed to provide a more adequate reflection of the character and level of scientists’ scientific activity, as well as their personal contribution to the development of certain areas of science.

The 19Th Century

The research and commercial activity in the Scandinavian portion of the Arctic increased appreciably in the last decades of the 19th century and up until the 1920s. Not unexpectedly, the idea arose during this period to bring the largest group of the as yet unclaimed Arctic islands, Spitsbergen, under Norwegian or Swedish control. Norwegian political ambitions in the far north seem to have expanded proportionally with economic and scientific activity. What role did science play in this process? In the contest to win Svalbard, Norwegian authorities deliberately used research results and research activity as justification that Spitsbergen was Norwegian. Also, Spitsbergen researchers worked systematically towards a Norwegian conquest of the archipelago, economic and cultural at first, but ultimately political.

Science Diplomacy

The development of science as a social institution, as well as its interaction with diplomacy, now spawned a number of “hybrid” forms of promoting the unification of the capacity of each of these areas to address specific social and political problems of contemporary culture. Against the background clotting own potential natural science research programs in a number of countries who spoke first among the leaders of the world of science (especially physics) especially interesting are dynamics of the changing role of the scientist in the paradigm of post-nonclassical science. Italy from this point of view is a unique platform where the tradition of classical education, the political process and the modern European strategy received a particular orientation towards the sphere of application of this bias potential in the communications area. And, above all, scientific communication (including, in particular, diplomatic communications). Using biographical method based on the publicly available reference information helps to change perspectives in the analysis of the formation of philosophical and cultural foundations of such type of science diplomacy as “diplomacy of scientists”. The fate of prominent scientists (such as Bruno Pontecorvo) and less well-known figures in science, has been included in the activities of international organizations, there are no less revealing than the fate of those who did not rise to the top of science, becoming invisible “cog” in the wheel of history. Science diplomacy thus can be considered at least in two aspects. On the one hand, as “science for diplomacy” — in terms of general cultural potential of science education and scientific activity itself, deducing scientists to the level of diplomatic work. On the other — as a public diplomacy in the framework of “cultural diplomacy” does not lead to a certain status and rank, but enables to solve issues within the scientific community, is an important group communicator in international relations. The questions are appropriate to consider in the light of the idea of the creative potential of science education, the prospects of its impact on the productivity of thinking in the application of social and cultural practices based, inter alia, on the communicative competence. But even more important is the approach exposing the fundamental importance of education of any type for the formation of a mature personality, capable to realize itself in the solution of various problems with weighty social significance.

Based on historical analysis of the scientific literature, the paper demonstrates the role, importance, and necessity of developing the female scientific potential in the Russian state and society. The sphere of young students' scientific interests has been identified and substantiated with gender consideration. Similarly, possibilities of optimizing the potential of young students have been found with gender-specific aspects borne in mind. In the research, the authors used theoretical and empirical methods of collecting information about the scientific potential of Russian women. An entire range of problems (causes) has been found which prevent the potential of Russian women from being completely fulfilled in science. Principal conditions and mechanisms have been examined which help optimize the development of the scientific potential of young higher educational institution students with gender consideration. The obtained conclusions highlight the necessity of optimizing the female potential in the country's scientific activity in the most diverse focus areas.

Introduction. As our analysis has shown, the literature offers very few publications that address the issue of diagnosing motives for scientific activity in adult research professionals. Being guided by the principles of the meta-system approach, we developed the concept of motivation toward scientific activity as a theoretical foundation for the appropriate diagnostic technique. According to this concept, motivation toward scientific activity includes 10 various motivational subsystems (groups of motives) such as external, internal, value, cognitive, reflexive, and indirect ones, competition-, security-, and achievement-related motives, and anti-motivation. These subsystems are reflected in the corresponding scales of the developed technique. Methods. A total of 944 research professionals at various research institutes, including universities, and commercial scientific organizations from different cities of the Russian Federation participated in this study. Exploratory factor analysis was employed to select tasks for the technique. Results. The final version included 70 items (7 for each of the 10 scales), of which 25,71% were ‘reverse-worded’ and 74,29% were ‘positive-worded’. The technique met the criteria of test-retest reliability (r= .899, р = .001), half-split reliability (Spearman–Brown: r= .822, p = .001; Rulon: r= .814, p = .01), and internal consistency reliability (r= .814, p≤ .05). The authors determined empirical validity of the technique by examining the relationship between scientific productivity and motivation. The Motivational Profile test by W. Richie and P. Martin was instrumental in testing construct validity. A Shapiro–Wilk test showed that the scores for each scale were normally distributed, which made it possible to use sten-score scales. Discussion. The practice of psychological support of research activity at the RAS research institutes and R&D commercial organizations enabled authors to provide recommendations for chiefs, psychologists, and human resource managers for managing and optimizing the structure and level of motivation among research workers and increasing their labour productivity.

The article states the stratification of the university’s corporate culture as its traditional cultural base into the institutional and administrative (realizing the «third mission» of the university and bearing the tendency of its transformation into a business corporation) and the culture of the teaching staff (which has preserved the traditional university functions) and culture. There are suggested ways to eliminate this mismatch.The authors substantiate the role and significance of the ideological attitude of the university’s corporate culture to trust as a «glue» of its stratified cultural base, which maintains a balance between the traditional and modern university’s mission (the concept of «glue» is suggested by the Russian researcher L. Gudkov, who uses this term to denote a mechanism holding society together into a unity and a whole).The methodology of conceptual reasoning is based on a sociocultural approach that suggests considering changes of any social institution in the context of responding to the challenge of the globalized world of network structures and market relations.The article identifies the causes and consequences of lacking coordination in the cultural base of the university.Communicative rationality, which, as a style of scientific and philosophical thinking, initiates the construction of modern social ontologies, is proven to be a possible complementarity instrument («glue») of the two university cultures. It is argued that today trust reveals its not only psychological, but also ontological and epistemological significance, orienting both components of corporate culture towards their unity in implementing of the university’s research and educational missions together with its «third mission».The article originally defines the university’s corporate culture as focused on the formation of students’ trust as a key factor of sparing life in the modern world with its ideological, economic, and political tensions. On this basis, it is proposed to form a university management strategy and to restructure the educational process.

In the article, the author examines the problematic aspects of project management, the study is devoted to the development of a method for distributing research projects among teams of executors of scientific projects in private higher educational institutions, which takes into account the specifics of staffing the project and the specifics of distributing the workload among scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers of educational institutions. The proposed method is necessary for the management of a hanging educational institution for a qualitative assessment and making rational management decisions at the stage of appointing a leader and a team of executors of scientific projects, determining the resource base and limitations in this particular scientific project. A method for assessing the scientific potential of scientific and pedagogical departments of private educational institutions has been developed, which, in addition to the intellectual component, takes into account the peculiarities of comprehensive support for the implementation of scientific projects. It is possible to assess both the static and the dynamic component of the scientific potential, as an indicator of the sustainability and development of a private higher educational institution, taking into account the personal achievements of scientific and pedagogical workers. As an additional motivational tool, a method for distributing the bonus fund based on the results of the implementation of a scientific project has been developed, which makes it possible to take into account the personal contribution of the project performers. So, the incentive mechanism under the conditions of specific restrictions makes it possible to improve the bonus system, differentiate the scientific personnel of the educational institution, determine the level of professionalism of each executor of scientific projects using the project management methodology. Thus, a promising model for the management of scientific projects in private higher educational institutions has been developed as a part of the system for managing scientific projects. The content of the components of this model, in contrast to the existing ones, have been optimized taking into account the experience of project-oriented management.

Text Information

The paper describes an algorithm for determining the thematic proximity of magazines. The results of its software implementation can be used to solve the following urgent tasks: clasification of the scientometric indicators values in the evaluation of scientific activity; assessment of the main trends in the development of the main scientific areas; determination of the relationships between data in information systems for constructing ontologies and defining safety rules within the framework of the ABAC model; creation of effective and convenient mechanisms for searching for scientific information. A feature of the presented algorithm is the use of the co-authorship graph for constructing the thematic proximity metric and the ability to process magazines in different languages, which is difficult to implement for other thematic analysis algorithms based on the analysis of full-text information. The software implementation of the presented algorithm is used in practice in the scientometric system "ISTINA".
