Criteria of promising lines of research and school of thought

A criterion for the best promising outlook is a research study which is carried out with a method that lies out of the bounds of the current paradigm. Obtaining new knowledge with the help of a new theory, a candidate for a new paradigm, is the most promising line of research. A scientific team working on a new line of research is the most promising school of thought for a scientist who managed to push the limits of the current paradigm and create their own school of thought. A developed school of thought that managed to create a new line of research combines researchers' high worldview potential, sufficient level of scientific equipment, unity of command and democratic evaluation and analysis of research findings. Two types of schools described are first-class schools of thought. Other types of schools are engaged in training practical specialists, whereas students and specialists' education and training with the simultaneous development of their knowledge and skills should be paradigmal.
