The scientific document’s (published in USSR (until 1991) then in Russia) flow included in the SCOPUS database Subject Area «Pphysics and Astronomy») for the period 1980-2020 is considered. It is shown that the flow dynamics development, in general, corresponds to the dynamic’s development of this branch world flow, and the share of the Soviet / Russian part of it, without ever falling out of the “top ten”, is increasing, reaching the third place among all participants by 2020. The number of documents types included in this flow varies from three to ten, but more than 90% of the total is always document types: the journal article and conference proceedings, publication. From so these two types of documents are considered below. The analysis revealed a quantitative increase (after 2018) in the share of conference proceedings, with a corresponding decrease in the share of journal publications. The point of view was verified that this is a purely Russian feature associated with taking into account the results of scientific work, however, a similar trend was revealed in the world publication’s flow and in the publications flows of a number of another countries, although in the Russian publications flow it is more pronounced. In general, this phenomenon requires a special additional study. Next, the citations of journal articles included to the Russian document’ flow were analyzed. Citations for three publications flow (1980, 1990 and 2000 years) were analyzed separately. This analysis showed a noticeable decrease in the number of uncited documents in the flow of 2000, which indicates a general interest in Russian publications increase. At the same time, it was found that a twenty-year period is not enough to get a complete picture of documents citing for a certain year of publication, included to this interval. A separate analysis of the citing for published documents with and without foreign co-authorship was carried out. `It has been established that the uncited documents percentage among documents with foreign co-authorship is significantly lower, and the average citation is significantly higher. The citing documents authors affiliation for citing Soviet/Russian publications was also analyzed. It was found that more than 80% of citing documents do not have authors with Russian affiliation. At the same time, among the first three affiliation countries for the citing documents authors of all publications of the three years under consideration are the USA and Germany, as well as (once) Japan and China.

The paper states that the concept of economy as an equilibrium structure is not fully consistent with “mobilization” as a characteristic of a time-limited complex of processes of transformation of socio-technological relations, the transition of the system from one state to a qualitatively different one and, with a clearly defined purpose as a rule. The Mobilization project (MP), therefore, has stages of beginning and completion. The Russian scientific sphere in its current state cannot be “mobilized”. At the same time, pure science, the life-supporting element of the entire science and technology sector, is capable of self-mobilisation. The sequence of MP implementation is outlined: an integral resilient semantic field – a complex of sovereignties {semantic – institutional – technological}. The general recommendation is that you need to think in terms of complete cycles. In relation to a specific case, modern technologies for the production of knowledge, knowledge-intensive products are to be developed and implemented, organizational forms are being selected. Among them, network formats with the necessary share of hierarchy are promising in the context of MP.

In the article, by the history of dacha settlements of academicians, the evolution of the principles of organization of privileged dacha space in the USSR is characterized. The author examines the practices of distribution and organization of departmental dachas,attempts to fit their history into the focus of everyday collective and interpersonal interactions of scientists, broad social processesof intertwining elitists and egalitarian tendencies of the epoch under consideration. Obtaining “academic” dachas was closely related to the reputational component, social and professional recognition, and the administrative resource of a particular researcher. In this regard, the practiceof departmental suburban space consolidate the established hierarchyin the Soviet scientific community. The principle of complex development (concentration of construction in one place, in the format of a closedsettlement, with the presence of a settlement-orient infrastructure) resultedin corporate isolationof socio-professional groups (primarily the nobility). In the competition of several principles - open and closedtypecooperation, departmental and private economic structure, the right of use and the right of personal property - distinct features of Soviet society were manifested: limited resources, bureaucratization of the distribution system, instability of property rights, but formed a unique “informal” space of “old-timers” settlements. Theresearchis based on a wide range of unpublished sources (clerical work, documents of personal origin) from the funds of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art, introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.

The article examines the current paradox of the uncertainty of the status of young scientists in the context of the proclaimed state strategic importance of this socio-professional group. Based on the institutional and resource approach, the specific features of the status of young scientists and its group-forming criteria are characterized. Based on a systematic analysis of both existing regulatory legal acts and draft laws proposing to streamline and consolidate the concept of a young scientist in the legal field, the limitations of the proposed definitions of the concept of “young scientist” and its status positions have been revealed. The consequences of the uncertainty of the status of young scientists are indicated. The author's conceptualization of the socio-professional and legal status of young scientists is proposed.

The article discusses the main ideas of F. Pasquale’s book “New Laws of Robotics: Defending The Human Knowledge in the Age of AI”. In his work, Pasquale actively uses the experience gained over many years in understanding the processes of digitalization, suggesting that the transition to new forms of the economy is not an inevitable catastrophe, but as an opening of the widest range of opportunities for people who are ready to integrate the latest technologies into their lives. The book proposes the laws of robotics, supplementing the classical postulates of A. Asimov, and outlines the contours of a new paradigm for understanding scientific and technological development. This paradigm is based on the idea of synthesisof human expertise with computing power. Pasquale notes that albeit the development of artificial intelligence and robotics will require large-scale reforms of the socio-economic system, the result of them may be not the displacement of people from the labor market, but rather the transformation of machines into assistants for human work. Achieving such a goal, Pasquale emphasizes, necessarily requires that digitalization and automatization have not so much technological as legal and cultural constraints that guide its course. In this case, the introduction of AI will become a factor that increases the value of human expertise, insteadof ending up reshaping the economy in the interests of large corporations and technocratic elites.

The review is referencing the 2-volume publication on the personnel the Siberian Branch of the Academy of Sciences USSR/RAS, published in connection with the 65th anniversary of its creation. There is a comparison with previous similar editions (1982 and 2007). It has been established that the principles for compiling and the main blocks of scientific biographies of scientists – academicians and corresponding members of the Academy of Sciences, formulated in the 2007 edition, have not changed in the 2022 reference book. It is concluded that the publication is value both for historians of science and for specialists in the field of social studies of science (in particular, science scholars and sociologists of science), since the information allows us to draw a number of important conclusions about the sources and specifics of the formation of the upper layer of the academic hierarchy.

People differ greatly in cognitive abilities, but all of them have limited abilities, ranging from the ability to perceive the surrounding reality and ending with the implementation of mathematical calculations and logical conclusions from the premises made. If a fully rational individual not only has complete information about the world, but also unlimited possibilities to make calculations and draw logical conclusions, then real people, including professional researchers, are only bounded rational. However, the scientific knowledge produced by scientists is close to completely rational. The article discusses the components of bounded rationality and those mechanisms within science that allow such a transition to be made. The leading role among these mechanisms belongs to scholarly communication, one of the functions of which is the correction of involuntary and unconscious errors made by bounded rational researchers. It is shown that the execution of this function faces certain difficulties, which are important to investigate in order to improve the error correction process.

Indices are widely included in the tools of modern scientometrics. However, there is no reliable numerical criterion for distinguishing between the assessment of the level of various candidate or PhD dissertations, despite the huge differences, sometimes hundreds times, in impact indicators of journals in which work of different doctorates is published. The article discusses brutto evaluation at an early stage of research activity in a wider discourse using the example of a simple scientometric index of publications, ab-index. Case of its calculation, analysis of its features, role in stimulating and ensuring coverage, connection with research impact, comparison with Hirsch index, and recommendations for its use are given. We provide facts, data, reasons, invite to discussion, and illustrate that some indexes have a useful advisory function only if their status is indicated, their scope of applicability is delicately outlined, their place in the overall structure and processes is indicated, discrimination based on one or another index value is eliminated, and appropriate compensatory or transformational measures are deployed to development of scientific and technological ecosystem, instead ofengaging in the production of more indicators, characterized as a mechanism for suppressing knowledge, technologies, and competencies.

Russian science is highly dependent on foreign research equipment, consumables, and specialized software. According to the survey conducted in 2022, 60% of the researchers indicated the share of foreign equipment at the rate of 80%. At the same time, about half of the researchers noted their dissatisfaction with the current provision of the instrumentation base to varying degrees. The sensitivity of Russian science to foreign sanctions related to the termination of equipment supplies is only slightly amortized cumulatively in the following ways: available analogues of Russian production or production of friendly countries, creation of Russian analogues in a short time. In most cases import substitution of foreign equipment, according to researchers' estimates, is either impossible or will take a long time. The federal project initiated in 2022 “Development of domestic civilian instrumentation for scientific research” needs to be significantly strengthened, since in its current configuration it does not meet the task of accelerated and large-scale import substitution.
