In 1862, he studied geological phenomena in Germany, England, Belgium, France and Spain, and collected information about geological and mineralogical museums. On his return, he taught geognosy at the Mining Institute and became a professor in 1866. Each year, he conducted geological research in European Russia, Ukraine, the Donbas and Central Asia, including the Amu Darya, Aral, Mangyshlak and Ustyurt regions. He made substantial contributions to stratigraphic schemes for different geological periods and to geological mapping. He was active in scientific societies and wrote numerous research and popular science publications.

4. Koretskyi A.I. Priorities for innovation-driven economic development in Ukraine: a scientometric perspective. Monograph / A.I. Koretskyi. Kyiv: DKS Centre LLC, 2017. 160 pp. (9.3 standard printed sheets). ISBN 978-617-7300-18-1

Theoretical and methodological foundations were developed for identifying priorities for innovation-driven economic development, using scientometric tools, official statistics on changes in components of scientific and technological capacity, and the findings of forecasting and analytical studies. This approach minimised the influence of subjective judgement. The following fields were identified as priorities for Ukraine’s innovation-driven economic development: economics; physics and mathematics; medicine; agricultural sciences; computer science; metallurgy, metalworking, and the manufacture of machinery and equipment; and energy.

1. Cybernetics and democratic economic management / V.V. Glushkova, S.O. Zhabin, E.P. Karpets and S.V. Odarich. General editor: A.V. Kravchuk. Kyiv: Centre for Social and Labour Research, 2017. 66 pp. UDC 007:338.242.2 © Public Organization "Center for Social and Labor Studies" (s.l. 5,7) ISBN 978-617-7242-41-2

The book examines the achievements of the cybernetics research school and their possible application under new socioeconomic and technological conditions. It traces the origins of the National Automated System for Computation and Information Processing (OGAS) and explains why the project was never implemented. It proposes a new sociocybernetic approach to studying society, drawing on Viktor Glushkov’s theory of information barriers and Niklas Luhmann’s theory of communication. It explores how the principles and methods of cybernetics can be applied to managing scientific and technological progress, forecasting and balanced economic management. The advantages of this approach over market-based management are presented in terms of democratising and improving resource management.

The publication was supported by Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung with funding from Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. This publication and its individual parts may be used free of charge, provided that the original publication is properly cited.
