On Expert Evaluation of the Scientific Research Effectiveness

The comparison of the project and process approach to the management of the scientific sector is carried out. The classification of projects in terms of their scale, financial instruments for supporting scientific research in project and process approaches, the regulatory framework for the implementation of the project approach, the interests of participants in the organization of scientific research in terms of their interest in the project version of science management are considered. It is shown that the project and process approaches to management are not antagonists and the science management system should combine both of them. At the same time, the lack of infrastructure for the organization of large scientific and technical projects, the experience of organizing such activities among the majority of participants in the management and implementation of scientific research, the interest of the majority of participants in the project approach was noted. The organization of large complex scientific and technical projects cannot be financed in the same way as the formation of small and medium-sized projects is financed, for the organization of large complex projects a higher level of management organization is required, which is currently absent.

Based on the analysis of project and process approaches to the management of the scientific sector and the analysis of large scientific and technical projects carried out in previous articles, a methodology for substantiating large scientific and technical projects (megaprojects) has been developed. The issues of identifying socio-economic problems and problems of individual enterprises that can become the basis for the formation of scientific and technical projects are considered. A methodology has been developed for the preparation of large projects based on them, including: justification of the relevance of scientific and technical projects; requirements for the scientific reserve, analysis of the completeness of the resources involved in the implementation of the work; approaches to the development of feasibility studies, including analysis of some errors in its formation; approaches to risk analysis of megaprojects.

Promotion of Intellectual Activity Results of Scientific Organizations. Regulatory Framework and Statistics

We consider intellectual activity results (IAR) of scientific organizations in the context of intellectual property protection and as one of the indicators of their effectiveness. The data characterizing Russia’s place in the world rankings in terms of the number of patent applications and the number of applications per 1 million people are presented, and a conclusion is made about the relatively low activity in protecting IAR in comparison with the leaders of the ratings. The authors have conducted an analysis of normative legal acts (NLA) on the consolidation and transfer of rights to IAR, as well as NLA that characterize IAR in terms of the effectiveness of research activity, as well as of the certification of researchers. It is concluded that the current system of NLA does not impede or discourage the work of scientific organizations with IAR. It is shown that NLA related to the evaluation of the effectiveness of scientific institutions should also stimulate their active work with IAR. At the same time, the available statistical data on the share of research organizations in patent applications filed and licenses sold indicate that their activity in promoting IAR in the real sector of the economy is on average more than twice lower than in Russia as a whole. It is assumed that the evolving situation regarding working with IAR is determined by economic factors. We have outlined ways for further research on factors that can significantly affect the activity of scientific organizations in working with the promotion of IAR, in particular, to assess the potential demand for IAR and the prospective value of IAR from the points of view of the seller and the buyer.
