Scientific Ideas

The article presents the results of research on the effectiveness of scientometric indicators use in science management in Russia (on the example of economic science in 2005-2018). The investigation rests on empirical base of publications indexed in the Russian science index. The author argues that the use of bibliometric indicators (in the form they appeared in government documents between 2009 and 2018) encourages the publication activity rather than actual scientific results. The paper offers the method to evaluate the effectiveness of a scientific paper differentiating the ways and effects of dissemination of scientific ideas in a scientific community. The method helped identify a significant increase in the overall number and the share of articles which do not influence further development of science (i.e. ineffective papers). The drop in the number of effective papers is accompanied by a significant cost rise, which also means a drop in effectiveness (3.9 times according to the empirical data).

Scientific Value

In this paper we attempt to classify Russian journals in economics and related disciplines for their scientific significance. We show that currently used criteria, such as a journal’s presence in the Higher Attestation Committee’s list of journals and the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) impact factor, are not very useful for assessing the academic quality of journals. Based on detailed data, including complete reference lists for 2010—2011, we find significant differentiation of Russian journals, including among those located at the top of the RSCI list. We identify two groups of Russian journals, tentatively called category A and B journals, that can be regarded as the most important from the viewpoint of their contribution to the economic science.

This study extended the author's previous research in the field of scientometrics of media researchers on the topic “Mass information. Journalism. Mass media” in Russian electronic library and Russian Science Citation Index. The methodology was a census of the personalities of the first hundred authors ranked by the level of the h-index in 2020 compared to 2017, and in some aspects — from 2016. The study analyzed the changes in the h-index over the years under study, changes in the authors' geography by federal districts and cities of the Russian Federation, their academic position, the distribution of doctors and candidates of sciences in scientific majors in accordance with the awarded degree, as well as the distribution of rating personalities by actual scientific interests and taught courses in their affiliated scientific and educational organizations. The study revealed the importance of scientometric indicators for authors and scientific and educational organizations to determine their place in the academic community, the relevance of topics and authors’ research in the general academic landscape, and material incentives. At the same time, it was noted that the system of scientometric indicators is changing: perhaps the h-index the number of published works and the number of citations in the RSCI will remain as an object of research by historians of science to determine the common place of Russian (and Soviet) scientists in the science development, and in addition or to replace them there will be new indicators. One of them is the "percentile" recently introduced into the list of scientometric indicators. Studies of the values of scientometric indicators will remain relevant in the future.

The subject of this research is the forecast or prediction of color. The Russian science does not feature work dedicated to such aspect; however, foreign sources approached prediction of color from various perspectives, most often viewing the color trends as an inseparable part of fashion. The goal of this work consists in determination of the place and time of conception of the color forecasts, historical analysis of evolution of this phenomenon, and assumptions on further development of this direction. Territorially, the epicenters of development of color forecasts are determined in Europe (France and England), in America (the United States), in Asia (Japan). The author describes the peculiarities of color predictions in each country – at certain stages one or another county was ahead or behind; whit the advent of the Internet, everything moves to online format and becomes more dynamic. The article follows the forecast of color since its emergence, highlighting all stages of its development and establishment. The chronological framework of its development stages stretches from the early XVIII century until modernity. From the earliest to more recent, these stages include the color cards, mediators and agents (between factories, textile workers and customers, and stores), trade fairs and expositions, online services and websites. It is determined that with the course of time, the methods and instruments for predicting color were being accumulated and used together; the new colors were added, while the already existing did not lose their relevance. Despite the development of technologies, a final word in forecasting color trends belongs to a human, based on experience and intuition.

The legislative reforming of the Russian Academy of Sciences was activated in 2013. Not a consequence, but an important tool for the implementation of this reform and its deepening has become «digitalization» in the form of an exaggerated presentation of the results of scientific activity as bibliometric indicators, including the quality and number of publications. Based on the data of the Russian Science Citation Index the article examines the results of the policy of «increasing the visibility» of Russian economic science in the world publication space. It is shown that in a relatively short time, both extensive and intensive factors of increasing the publication mass are practically exhausted. At the same time, the qualitative parameters of publication activity turn out to be of low variability depending on the dynamics of the publications themselves. The issues of displaying the quality of scientific journals in bibliometric indicators are discussed. The conclusion is made that there is no antagonism between bibliometric and expert metrics when the latter prevail. A sequence of using these metrics is proposed for a comprehensive assessment of the results of scientific activities of organizations and scientists.

The object of this research is the available means of computer modeling of bacterial communities-biofilms. Such communities include the majority (95-99%) of bacteria and are ubiquitous. Biofilms are much more resistant than single bacteria to antibiotics and other antibacterial means due to weak permeability of intercellular environment and moderation of metabolism of some specimen of the community. Examination of influence techniques on biofilms is an important problem of biology; its solution requires various computer modeling tools that allow achieving significant scientific results. The subject of this research is the mathematical models used in modern techniques of biofilm modeling, and as well as the software for their implementation. The conclusion is made that the available methods of biofilm modeling are capable of successful reproduction of multiple behavioral aspects of these bacteria communities, including growth, destruction, and self-regulation; however, certain relevant problems are yet to be resolved. This is associated with the fact that the development of modern software for two-dimensional and three-dimensional agent modeling of biofilms – BSim, iDynoMiCS, CellModeller, require competent programmers for describing the interactions between simulated objects. Most promising direction in further development of this software implies a more active usage of tools for describing behavior and interaction of agents applied in the sphere of artificial intelligence, for example, fin-state automaton or production rules systems, with mandatory preservation of biological content of the models.

The article examines the scientific views of Ivan Vernadsky on the historical development of socio-economic systems in the context of his consideration of the views of representatives of the main scientific schools of the XIX century. The subject of the study is methodological approaches to assessing the periodization of the development of socio-economic systems on the basis of historical, logical, institutional and stage analysis. The purpose of the article is to study the scientific heritage of Ivan Vernadsky on the states of economic organization of society and their formulation in the views of representatives of various scientific schools. The objectives of the article include determining stages of the historical development of socio-economic systems on the basis of system-structural and institutional-gradualist approaches. The author investigates Ivan Vernadsky's scientific approaches to the analysis of societal development in social and economic aspects in accordance with the established scientific views of that time. The scientist's emphasis is based on the conclusions on the need for a certain combination of methodological approaches of the classical school of economic science and the German historical school. In the modern sense this can be assessed as the establishment of a proto-institutional approach in the Ukrainian economic science in the study of dynamics, mechanisms of functioning and features of the development of national socio-economic systems. The author substantiates the idea of the necessity for synthetic combination in economic and theoretical analysis of classical and institutional approaches for a comprehensive study of the peculiarities of socio-economic development of national economic systems. Revealed the creative potential of Ivan Vernadsky's ideas, which had a significant impact on the development of Ukrainian economic science and received further development in the research of domestic scientists of both the 19th and 20th centuries, and has its continuation in modern scientific achievements. The article shows possible guidelines of scientific approaches to the systemic assessment of the state of development of socio-economic systems in the XXI century, as well as ways and options for stimulating national economic dynamics in the conditions of current global turbulence.

The Relationship

Introduction. One of the drivers of the Russian regions’ development is traditionally considered to be local universities and the scientific activity development, in particular. However, such a belief is usually based on speculative conclusions and is not subjected to detailed empirical testing. The purpose of the study is to assess the relationship between the development of science in universities in Russian regions and indicators of regional development according to 2017—18 data. Methods. The authors use methods of generalization, grouping, assessment of indicators of central tendency and variations, as well as methods of correlation analysis. The study is based on the data from regional statistics presented on the official website of Russian Statistics Agency, as well as data from monitoring the universities effectiveness, commissioned by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. Scientific novelty of the research. For the first time, the authors present an empirical analysis of the relationship between indicators of socioeconomic development of Russian regions and indicators of scientific activity in universities in the region. The study is characterized by using a sample of homogeneous regions. The sample excluded regions that did not have significant scientific results, as well as regions that are leaders in economic development. As a result, a “core” of 57 Russian regions with similar characteristics of both economic development and the results of scientific activity was investigated. This increased the practical significance of the conclusions and their reliability. Results. As a result of the study, it was found out that there is a statistically significant relationship between all indicators of regional development and science in universities. However, a deeper analysis made it possible to establish that this relationship is indirect. In some cases, we can talk about the opposite influence - regional development on scientific results in universities. Conclusions. It was found that the indicators used in the public administration system for assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of scientific activity are not key in terms of their impact on regional development. It was revealed that publications in leading world databases and in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) are equally related to regional development. It has been determined that in a number of cases, within the considered sample, it is possible to distinguish two groups of regions with a different nature of the relationship between regional development and science in universities.

Relevance and purpose. Entrepreneurship in the Russian Federation, focusing in its activities on the implementation of the principles of the Islamic economy, has great potential for implementation in everyday practice and further development. However, insufficient theoretical elaboration of the problem, the lack of terminological unity in the interpretation of definitions, the imperfection of legal regulation and the almost complete absence of the practice of creating and successfully functioning entrepreneurial structures do not allow us to talk about such entrepreneurship as a fait accompli. The purpose of the study is a literary review of bibliographic sources on the Islamic economy, aimed at introducing the terminological certainty of definitions and determining the possibility of using entrepreneurship in the Russian Federation that focuses on the implementation of the principles of the Islamic economy. Methods and materials of the study - cabinet analysis of studies on the Islamic economy presented in the bibliographic database of scientific publications of Russian scientists “Russian Science Citation Index”. Results of the study: the content of the concept of “Islamic economy” is disclosed, the restrictions on the use of the concept of “Islamic business” in the Russian Federation are identified, the concept of “entrepreneurship in the Russian Federation focusing on the implementation of the principles of the Islamic economy” is clarified, the features are identified, the possibilities for its development in of Russia.
