In the process of implementing the above departmental topics in 2018, the following new
results in the field of natural, social and humanitarian sciences and engineering:
1. History, methodology and sociology of science and technology.
1.1. A concept of the content of the modern professional activity of a scientist has been developed, which
works in a competitive environment of globalized science, the main characteristic features inherent in a modern scientist: the ability to meet the requirements of intellectual
features inherent in a modern scientist: the ability to meet the requirements of intellectual
mobility and intensive communication with colleagues, the ability to positively
to discuss to confirm one's ideas, to see paradoxes and to perceive critically
existing knowledge, strict adherence to scientific ethics and social responsibility.
The directions and tendencies of further changes in the content of the professional activity of the scientist are determined.
The monograph "Scientist in Market Conditions: Ukrainian and World" has been prepared for printing
format";
1.2. Based on the use of an original methodological approach for the first time in historical
literature, a list of the most important scientific achievements of scientists of the NAS of Ukraine for
100 years of its existence, which include the creation of new theories, the discovery of new phenomena and
regularities, inventions, technologies and machines, new materials, medicines, plants and others
products of scientific and scientific-technical activity that make a significant contribution to the world
science and contribute to the socio-economic development of Ukraine on an innovative basis. Published
book "National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Outstanding Achievements. 1918-2018", which reflects
developed at the Institute a new model of reconstructing the history of science - innovative.
2. Science: systematic research of scientific, technological and innovative
potentials.
Science studies
2.1. The statistical, scientometric, webometric methods of analysis have been improved
the effectiveness of scientific academic systems, with the help of which an assessment was made
results of the NAS of Ukraine in comparison with foreign academies, in particular for
criteria of publication activity, participation in international scientific cooperation, implementation
scientific achievements into social practice. It is proved that based on the “cost”
preparation and publication of one article in journals indexed by the Scopus database, NAS
Ukraine is at the level of science of the most developed countries in Europe. The Academy is
the largest executor of international projects in Ukraine, makes a significant contribution to
formation of the country's intellectual potential, is conducive to the modernization of the organization
activities based on the preservation of positive traditions and world experience. Results
research published in the scientific reference publication "National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine: statistical and scientometric analysis of the effectiveness of scientific potential";
of Ukraine: statistical and scientometric analysis of the effectiveness of scientific potential";
2.2. The main criteria for selecting web search systems suitable for
carrying out relevant search for scientific information and conducting web-scientometric
research related to the assessment of the state and identification of trends in the development of science in Ukraine and
world, in particular academic. It is shown that the choice of universal information search
system (IPS), suitable for scientific research in a special field of science, should
taking into account the specifics of the subject of research, the language in which the search is conducted
and the volume of the IPS index. Of the studied universal IPSs, the most acceptable for searching
scientific and technical information and conducting scientometric research, including in
Ukrainian web segment of the Internet, it is necessary to recognize foreign search engines Google,
Yandex and domestic – MET;
2.3. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the state of the scientific and technological management system
sphere of Ukraine revealed main trends of its transformation during the years of independence. It is proved that
that the system of state management of this sphere, which was created in the 90s of the past
century as a supra-sectoral state structure, gradually degraded to the sub-sectoral level in
the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, where in financial terms it is no more than 2.5% of the total
financing of the Ministry of Education and Science. As a result, at the level of state administration there are no such key
elements of the system that should perform the functions of forming and implementing the national
scientific policy, determine priorities for areas in the field of research and development and
provide their financing, implement a system of stimulation of scientific and
innovative activity at the level of world standards, to strengthen the research and
developments as the main source of economic growth of Ukraine on an innovative basis.
Recommendations were developed for improving the management system, changing the scope and rules
state financing of research and development. Ways and specific
indicators of personnel renewal of the potential of science, principles of infrastructure formation
science, implementation of European experience and standards into Ukrainian scientific practice
state support of science are substantiated.
Innovation studies
2.4. For the first time in the theory of innovative economic development, the influence of the process
distribution of created added value between social groups for structural completeness and
the balance of the elements of the innovation cycle, which proves the need to strengthen
political economic approaches in the study of issues of economic development on an innovative basis;
2.5. The regularity of the change in the form of knowledge at standard stages has been substantiated
the life cycle of innovation), the possibility of increasing the effectiveness
innovation process by means of optimization of innovation infrastructure by means of
ensuring its relevance to the innovation cycle.
