Modernization of information and analytical methods for analyzing the effectiveness of scientific activity of the organization

The article is devoted to improving approaches to analyzing the effectiveness of scientific activities of organizations (higher educational institutions, research institutes, scientific institutions). The tasks of scientific search for criteria allowing to reveal the nature of participation of individual organizations, collectives or scientists in national or world scientific activities are specified. The authors propose to include the analysis of dissertations' document flows and the analysis of innovation activity in the system of evaluation of the organization's scientific performance. The article presents the experience of testing the scientometric methodology developed by the authors in the study of the contribution of the Moscow State Institute of Culture to the study and development of the information infrastructure of society, which is based on the analysis of the array of dissertations prepared at the Institute in 1980-2000. The proposed method focuses on the industry specifics of the document flow and characterizes it by means of specific content decompositions.
