Abstract:
Attempts of research activity administration are often based on wrong assumptions and, therefore, do harm to the development of science. The article is devoted to a preliminary discussion of two types of methodological errors in the management of research activities. We show the damage incurred by the methods based on the publications’ count and the number of citations in academic journals. We also demonstrate irrationality of the current system of scientific disciplines.
Keywords:science, management, scientometrics, methodological errors, citations of articles, classification of scientific disciplines.
