Revolutionary technological change in the publishing business and the expansion of information technology have given an impetus for scientific journals institution to evolve with the development of bibliographic databases that create new information products, indicators, and indices. The Russian scientific journals institution, which plays a significant role in the Russian innovation system, is developing in line with this trend. The article analyses the Russian innovation system actors’ narratives regarding the role of journals in the functioning of the system. The methodological basis of the study includes theories and approaches of narrative economics and original institutionalism that allow focusing on the use of qualitative research methods. Narratives reflect actors’ ideas of publication activity indicators getting increasingly used in management practices in the field of education and science. These indicators have received special significance within the framework of the managerialism doctrine, or new public management, in which publication activity indicators were associated with the effectiveness of scientific research. The role of journals and indices is considered from two points of view: at the individual level actors talk about personal success in publishing articles in top-rated journals; however, at the level of science and education the role of publication activity indicators is described using negative connotations; actors refer to the situations as problematic. Further development of the Russian scientific journals institution should contribute to the formation of new foundations and organizational structures which allow taking into account and intensifying the grassroots initiatives of scientists and innovators.

Scientific research in the field of healthcare contributes to solving not only medical, but also economic and social issues. One of the latest trends is the growing interest in evaluating the effectiveness of research conducted. In the current study, we have hypothesized that science contributes to the reduction of the Cancer Mortality Rate (CMR) by making awareness about and bringing attention to this disease. The purpose of our investigation is to study the possible correlation between five scientometric indicators (Web of Science Documents, International Collaborations, etc.) and CMR changes for 14 countries. Furthermore, the expenditures of GDP in both science and healthcare for each of the studied countries have been considered within the framework of cancer-science relations in order to find out the possible socio-economic impact on cancer incidence. Methodologically, the study relies on the principles of scientometric management. The research data were retrieved from Web of Science and the World Health Organization for the period from 1997 to 2017. To investigate the correlation between scientific research and the CMR, we have used bibliometric data and nonparametric statistical methods (the Kruskal-Wallis test, Spearman’s correlation coefficient) as well as the Dunn test of multiple group checks and the Shapiro-Wilk test. R language, Tidyverse package R and VOSviewer were used for data processing. The research results showed that during the period in question there was an increase in the CMR in Armenia and Georgia, while in Iran and Azerbaijan it remained almost consistent. For the rest of the countries from Asia and Europe, as well as Canada and the USA, the CMR experienced a downward trend. We have found close links between scientometric data, the CMR and economic costs for Europe and the USA. At the same time, for Armenia and neighbouring countries the correlation between the CMR and GDP was weak. Moreover, GDP costs incurred in healthcare and science did not have a positive effect on the CMR in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. This indicates that scientific and socio-economic factors are highly correlated with each other and, therefore, have a positive impact on the CMR, mainly in Europe and the USA. However, the science-health relationship in Armenia is still weak and requires efforts to prevent the continued rise in CMR levels. The findings of this study can also be applied to other fields of science and help to establish close links between scientometrics and various branches of medicine.
卫生保健领域的科学研究不仅有助于解决医疗问题，而且有助于解决经济和社会问题。最近的趋势之一是人们对评估所进行研究的有效性越来越感兴趣。在目前的研究中，我们假设科学通过提高对癌症的认识和关注，有助于降低癌症死亡率(CMR)。本研究的目的是研究14个国家的5个科学计量指标(Web of Science Documents, International collaboration等)与CMR变化之间可能存在的相关性。此外，在癌症科学关系的框架内考虑了每个被研究国家在科学和保健方面的国内生产总值支出，以便找出可能对癌症发病率产生的社会经济影响。在方法上，该研究依赖于科学计量管理的原则。研究数据从Web of Science和世界卫生组织(World Health Organization)检索，时间为1997年至2017年。本文采用文献计量学数据、非参数统计方法(Kruskal-Wallis检验、Spearman相关系数检验)以及多组检验的Dunn检验和Shapiro-Wilk检验来研究科研与CMR的相关性。使用R语言、Tidyverse R软件包和VOSviewer进行数据处理。研究结果表明，在上述期间，亚美尼亚和格鲁吉亚的CMR有所增加，而伊朗和阿塞拜疆的CMR几乎保持一致。对于亚洲和欧洲的其他国家，以及加拿大和美国，CMR经历了下降趋势。我们发现科学计量数据、CMR和欧洲和美国的经济成本之间存在密切联系。与此同时，对于亚美尼亚及其邻国来说，CMR与GDP之间的相关性很弱。此外，在亚美尼亚、阿塞拜疆和格鲁吉亚，医疗保健和科学方面的国内生产总值成本对CMR没有产生积极影响。这表明科学和社会经济因素相互之间高度相关，因此对CMR有积极影响，主要在欧洲和美国。然而，亚美尼亚的科学-卫生关系仍然薄弱，需要努力防止CMR水平继续上升。这项研究的发现也可以应用于其他科学领域，并有助于在科学计量学与医学的各个分支之间建立密切的联系。

The social organization of the Russian scientific community is such that many established ethical standards conflict with the real research practice. Using exclusively scientometric approaches to assessing scientific achievements leads to the fact that the quantitative indicators of this assessment prevail over the true results of research activity. The paper aims to reveal organizational problems associated with the interaction with junk journals that result in ‘clogging’ and ‘emptying’ objective scientific knowledge about the modern world. The theoretical basis of the study includes scientometric approaches to evaluating publication activity. Statistical methods were used to analyse the development and spread of unscrupulous journals and junk scientific conferences; the methods of expert assessments and content analysis were also applied. The information base is the corpus of leading Russian and foreign researchers’ works on scientometric evaluation of publications and the use of special methods of bibliometric analysis. The multiplicity of fraud issues in science still unresolved and the palliative measures taken make it possible to assess the harmfulness of scientometric formalism from a new perspective. The main features of junk journals are identified: lack of peer review, international collaboration and target audience; multidisciplinarity; demand-based journal volumes; a short publication cycle, etc. In the article, we assess the dynamics and spread of such journals in Russian science, identify effective measures to counteract law-quality publications, such as retraction and a combination of altmetric and bibliometric methods for evaluating studies. Another focus of analysis is to describe the practice of junk conferences and provide criteria for their identification.

Numerous publishers view the Open Access (OA) model as one of the ways to strengthen journals’ position. Enhancing the visibility of publications is believed to increase research productivity. The paper explores the impact of OA on scientometric indicators of Russian economic journals. The theoretical basis is comprised of the data management approaches and scientometric management. The methods of scientometrics, bibliometrics and comparative analysis were applied. The paper looks at the main scientometric indicators used in the Science Index ranking: journal impact factor, self-citation rate, authors’ h-index, and the share of downloads. The data for analysis were retrieved from the eLibrary platform. The sample of the study includes open and closed access Russian economic journals from the list of the Higher Attestation Commission (HAC). The results obtained indicate that scientometric indicators of OA journals are higher than those of subscription-based journals, while there are no significant differences between periodicals with paid and free publications. We have found that the OA model does not guarantee an increase in scientometric indicators: most of the titles in the sample are characterised by unstable scientific positions. The research demonstrates the opportunities for using scientometric and bibliometric analyses in the strategic management system of a scientific journal aimed at improving its academic reputation.

Employee environmental behaviour (EEB) is among the necessary conditions for implementing strategies and enhancing the performance of environmentally friendly organizations. However, there is a lack of theoretical and empirical research on the mechanism for forming such behaviours and the effects it suffers from the company’s internal environment. The article studies the relationship between the green human resources management (GHRM) practices and green organizational culture (GOC), as well as looks at the impact they have on the formation of employee environmental behaviour. The concepts of green human resource management, environmental behaviour and green organizational culture constitute the methodological basis of the study. The empirical base is the survey results of employees working in production and non-production divisions of the Russian oil and gas enterprises. Data analysis and hypothesis testing were based on structural equation modelling using the partial least squares (PLS) method. The research results show that HR practices with the mediated participation of GOC exert a strong impact on EEB demonstrated in the workplace and in voluntary initiatives and activities. The results of the study contribute to the understanding of the cause-and-effect relationships between the company’s HRM activities and EEB and can be used to develop measures to formulate and promote green organizational policy.

Despite the widespread use of digital technologies, the economic nature and essence of digital transformation remain understudied. The article examines the aspects of the principal–agent problem amid digital transformation, which implies replacing a person or analogue machines with digital technologies. Transformation is needed to gain additional economic advantages or improve the flexibility of the organization’s activities within the concept of Industry 4.0. The research demonstrates that the underlying economic reason for digital transformation is to solve the problem of information asymmetry and overcome the principal–agent conflict through the use of digital technologies. The concept of digital transformation and the principles of the principal–agent theory constitute the methodological basis of the study. Among the research methods were generalization, the inductive method of knowledge formation, and the assessment of the conclusions’ completeness with the involvement of theorists and practitioners in the field under consideration. The study allowed broadening the understanding of the principal–agent theory: establishing the roles of a human agent and a machine agent, as well as highlighting the essential economic aspects of digital transformation. The results obtained can be used to create digital transformation methodologies and research on the organization of labour in this field.

The effective public project management in the economy and industry significantly contributes to the achievement of the country’s strategic development goals. The article explores the role of the Industrial Development Fund (IDF), which is a key tool of industrial policy, in the development of manufacturing industries in the Russian regions. Portfolio management theory and provisions of public project management constitute the methodological basis of the research. The methods of logical-structural, comparative and econometric analysis are used. The study’s empirical base covers data on the volume of funding provided by the IDF to regional borrowers to implement 924 projects between 2015 and 2021, as well as data aggregated according to the RF constituent entities on the volume of goods and services shipped by manufacturing enterprises in the same period. We assess whether the IDF project portfolio profile qualitatively and quantitatively complies with the strategic objectives of the manufacturing industry development in the regional context. The research results show that the composition of the project portfolio is partially aligned with the objectives of import substitution, digitalization and increasing labour productivity. Quantitative criteria for project selection are not synchronized with the composite indicators of the Strategy for the Development of the Manufacturing Sector for the period up to 2035. We have found that the implications of the IDF activities for the regions with low and medium level of industrial development were positive, while the industrialized regions experienced no effect on the volume of shipped goods and services in the manufacturing sector. The study concludes that the portfolio management methodology will enhance the performance of the IDF as an industrial policy tool due to more accurate consideration of sectoral and structural priorities, as well as spatial peculiarities of the industrial development of the Russian Federation.

The spread of knowledge sharing provides advantages to organizations in developing new solutions to problems along with a broader informational infrastructure. For this reason, it is important to know the factors affecting the knowledge sharing behaviour of individuals. The study examined the impact of employees’ perceptions of organizational justice and trust on knowledge sharing behaviour. The theories of organizational justice, organizational trust and knowledge sharing behavior constitute the methodological framework of the research. Within the scope of the study, data were collected from 421 participants (68 managers and 353 employees) working in public and private sectors in Bartin province (Turkey), using survey method. Within the scope of the study, organizational justice is divided into four sub-dimensions (procedural, distributive, interpersonal, and informational), and the construct of trust includes two sub-dimensions – trust in the manager and in the organization as a whole. As a result of the study, while no significant relationship was found between procedural justice, distributive justice and knowledge sharing, it was found between interpersonal justice, informational justice and knowledge sharing. In addition, a positive and significant relationship was found between trust in the manager, trust in the organization and knowledge sharing behaviour. According to the findings, it is seen that organizational trust has an important role in the exhibition of knowledge sharing behaviour; as the level of trust in organizations increases, knowledge sharing behaviour is positively affected. At the same time, informational and interpersonal justice dimensions affect knowledge sharing behaviour more than distributive and procedural justice. It is emerging that organizations should give more importance to justice’s informational and interpersonal dimensions.

In addition, a positive and significant relationship was found between trust in the manager, trust in the organization and knowledge sharing behaviour. According to the findings, it is seen that organizational trust has an important role in the exhibition of knowledge sharing behaviour; as the level of trust in organizations increases, knowledge sharing behaviour is positively affected. At the same time, informational and interpersonal justice dimensions affect knowledge sharing behaviour more than distributive and procedural justice. It is emerging that organizations should give more importance to justice’s informational and interpersonal dimensions.","PeriodicalId":42955,"journal":{"name":"Upravlenets-The Manager","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82324879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article presents an experimental study of the effect of scent marketing on consumer behaviour when choosing products of regional origin. The research methodology includes the theories of congruence, relevance, and thematic relevance, as well as the approaches to assessing the perceived quality implemented on the basis of neuromarketing research methods. To obtain verified results, economic and statistical methods of analysis were applied. The information base of the study covers biometric data on the oculomotor behaviour of 32 participants, collected as part of a laboratory-based neuromarketing experiment focused on examining nine groups of regional products. Data visualization and statistical calculations were performed using SPSS 22.0 software package. OGAMA software was applied to analyse oculomotor behaviour and establish heat maps and gaze movement patterns. The experiment was planned and conducted in EventID. The research results showed that scent marketing significantly affected consumer choice – the desire to make a purchase increased by 60 %. There is gender asymmetry in the receptivity of fragrances: women exhibit stronger consumer loyalty and involvement. The findings confirm the efficiency of promoting autochthonous regional products (wine, cosmetics, and essential oils) with the help of scent marketing. The paper provides new data on the influence of scent marketing on visual attention. It is also statistically proved that the use of mountain lavender scenting increases the number of visual fixations, their duration and speed, which can lead to a proportional rise in the amount of time a customer spends in a store and, consequently, to an increase in the number of purchases.

. It is of paramount importance for any researcher to be at the forefront of the chosen research field. The paper studies the phenomenon of the frontiers of science serving as the starting point for a scientist ascending to qualitatively new results. Methodologically, the study rests on the system approach that assumes the dialectical unity of the assimilation of the concrete (Karl Marx) and using the method of alternatives (Karl Popper). Historically, the role of the starting point of economic theory was claimed by: 1) the most abstract concepts, such as labour, Homo economicus, etc.; 2) ostensive definitions of a commodity, an “ordinary person”, etc., allowing one to rely on personal (implicit) knowledge. An analysis of the methodology of scientific knowledge shows that, when ascending from the abstract to the concrete, there is a high probability of falling into the induction trap, which can be avoided through structural similarity (homomorphism) of the object and its theoretical representation (model). This approach allows identifying the functional characteristics of economic phenomena and processes, such as the correspondence of supply and demand in the Walrasian system of general equilibrium equations (the Arrow-Debreu model). The other approach is premised on faith, worldview, intuition, which stimulate qualitatively new hypotheses to be formulated. The two approaches interact and complement each other, forming a continuum of economic knowledge, where there are no clearly defined frontiers, and the genesis can, explicitly or implicitly, happen in each of the constituent elements forming a single whole (scientific article, dissertation, textbook, etc.). It is relevant for any scholar, and even more so for a lecturer, to hold a holistic view of the subject of the discipline under study, its relationship with other knowledge areas and reality.
