Государственная научно-техническая политика РФ мобилизационного этапа развития: в поисках баланса между суверенитетом и сотрудничеством
This article examines the current stage of strategic regulation of scientific and technological development in the Russian Federation through the prism of international scientific cooperation and publication activity. It demonstrates that the deterioration of the international environment, sanctions pressure, and discriminatory practices by foreign academic publishers create challenging conditions for the professional activities of Russian researchers — conditions that are, in fact, not reflected in the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation. A contradiction is identified between the officially declared rejection of Western scientometric systems and the continued de facto dependence of grant support mechanisms and researchers’ career trajectories on indicators from Web of Science and Scopus. The article investigates the negative consequences of the dominance of foreign databases under conditions of restricted access, as well as the transformation of the system for assessing scientific performance associated with the establishment of the Unified State List of Scientific Journals. It substantiates that the emerging model of scientometric sovereignisation has thus far failed to eliminate the 34 Указ Президента РФ от 01.12.2016 № 642 «О Стратегии научно-технологического развития Российской Федерации». dependence of domestic science on metrics controlled by unfriendly jurisdictions. The article concludes that there is a persistent trend towards a decline in the number of publications by Russian researchers in high-ranking foreign journals, and that negative external factors cannot be overcome within the approaches to international cooperation formulated in strategic policy documents. The necessity of revising the approaches enshrined in the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development is emphasised, taking into account the role of publication activity as a significant factor in preserving the contribution of Russian researchers to global science.
