Methodology for evaluating the development of interdisciplinary research and activity of scientific organizations as the basis of a unified system of scientometric analysis in Ural branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences

The article examines the existing system for assessing the effectiveness of scientific organizations. As an additional tool, it is proposed to use scientometric analysis based on the "Methodology for assessing the development of interdisciplinary research and the activities of scientific organizations" developed at the Central Scientific Library of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The expected result of the analysis is an information and analytical product as a source of objective information for effective management and decision-making by management. The study raises the problem of scientific communications between organizations, and, as a consequence, the lack of a unified system for conducting scientometric research on the example of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The paper assesses the results of the analysis of the organizations of the Ural Federal District (UFD), carried out using the developed methodology. The advantages and disadvantages of the method are revealed, as well as factors influencing the result. Two models of scientometric analysis of organizations' activity are proposed, conditions for their implementation are formulated.
