In 2017 a leading international journal in the field, Scientometrics, published six papers by staff members of the HSE Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge describing application of various sociology of science and Foresight techniques for the purposes of studying driving forces and directions of scientific development.
Is publication of a paper in a journal indexed in Web of Science or Scopus always an evidence of a high quality of research? How can we increase Russian scientists’ share in the global flow of academic publications? These and other issues were discussed during the online debate hosted by STRF.ru. Konstantin Fursov, head of HSE ISSEK’s R&D performance analysis sector, took part in it as a leading expert. Other participants included students and teachers of the “Governance of Science, Technology and Innovation” Master’s programme.
