Results from Monitoring the Effectiveness of Scientific Activities of Organisations Carrying Out Research and Development of Civilian Purposes, 2017–2019

Abstract

Introduction. The article presents an efficiency analysis of organisations performing research, development and technological work for civilian purposes based on 2017–2019 monitoring data. This analysis was carried out in the context of research areas, departmental affiliation and federal districts. Monitoring Tools. This monitoring used data from the database containing information about the efficiency of scientific organisations performing research, development and technological work for civilian purposes. Results. Having analysed scientific activity performance indicators from organisations carrying out research and development for civilian purposes (based on the monitoring results for 2017–2019), we came to the following conclusions, which were presented in the form of tables and graphs with data on the human potential of the scientific sphere, financial support for research and development, publication activity and economic efficiency from the use of the results of intellectual activity (hereinafter — RIA). The monitoring results between 2017–2019 exhibited a downward trend in the number of scientific personnel; an increase in the number of publications in the Web of Science and Scopus per employee performing research and development by the end of the analysed period; and growth in the indicators of economic efficiency for use of RIA. In the structure of budgetary financing during the analysed period, funds allocated for the implementation of state assignments predominated. Most organisations have up to 10% of the total amount of funding for research and development directed towards fulfilling state assignments. Most organisations have up to 10% of their total funding for research and development sourced by attracting funds on a competitive basis from the budgets of all levels. Conclusion. The results of the organisations' scientific performance analysis can be used to assess the overall status of the field of research and development.
