Sociologists Outlined Institutional Landscape of Russian Physics
Social scientists from National Research University Higher School of Economics measured scientific capital of 39 physics institutions of Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). More detailed information about research results can be found in the journal Scientometrics. Sociologists from ISSEK HSE Yuriy Kachanov and Natalia Shmatko and researcher from USA Yulia Markova tried to answer to this question on the basis of RAS physics institutions data.
HSE Experts Measured Russians' Trust to Science and Technology
Results of science and technology development play a major role in people's everyday lives. Statistical measurement is more often focused on economic effects of R&D expenditures, but measuring social impact of science and technology development, and its perception by the population, is no less important. Many countries conduct such studies, including Russia. Data collected in the course of the Monitoring of Innovative Behaviour of the Population conducted by HSE ISSEK since 2009 allows to see how the Russians’ aggregate trust to science was changing over the years.
