Abstract

The article is devoted to global problems associated with the low efficiency of systems within which the results of scientific activities are created and used. The article also shows a specific reflection of these problems in Russian law and practice. The general problem of the inefficiency of using scientific achievements and managing the rights to the results of scientific activity is decomposed into components that allow us to build a system of performance indicators as a means of measuring efficiency in the field of scientific activity. The author of the article uses these indicators to analyze the efforts being made in Russia today to increase efficiency in the field of scientific activity. The researcher concludes that the measures taken are obviously insufficient, moreover: two factors hinder a real increase in efficiency – they are the lack of a single concept and an attempt to build a system on an administrative basis. The author suggests paying attention to the model of network organization of scientific activity and considering the latest Russian practice of decentralized management of content rights as an example of a successful implementation of this kind of concept. The main result of the study is a proposed concept of effective use of scientific achievements as an optimal ratio of at least three indicators – scale, completeness and prospects for obtaining new scientific knowledge. It is also important to note that a key element of the methodology of scientific achievement efficiency evaluation is not a ratio of outputs and inputs, but the use of scientific advances to the needs and values of society. The results of the study are intended to serve as a foundation for the creation of a methodology for assessing the efficiency of using the results of scientific activity as an integral part and a necessary element of an effective system for managing the rights to scientific achievements that would meet the needs of modern society.
