To the Issue of Evaluating the Results of Research Work

The article is devoted to the assessment of the relevance of conducted scientific research using the indicators proposed by the author and their characterisation based on assigning appropriate weighting coefficients to each indicator. Terms and their new definitions characterising the relevance of the conducted research are proposed, while their essence and content are disclosed. The object of the study is the result of research work (regardless of the subject area and research focus), the subject is the relevance of the obtained research results. The research methodology is based on the method of analyzing the existing approaches to assessing the relevance of research results, as well as the experience of practical activities of the organisation in reviewing the results of research and development work. In the course of the conducted research it was found that the issues of relevance of the results of research work are given much less importance than the relevance of the topic, purpose and objectives of research at the stage of development of tactical and technical (technical) task of research work. At the same time, in the course of reviewing the results of completed R&D work, the reviewer lacks methodological approaches to their adequate assessment. According to the results of the conducted research, the criteria and conditions are defined, when fulfilled, it is considered appropriate to recognise the results of the conducted research as relevant. Practical recommendations on the use of the obtained research results as a basis for the methodology of assessing the relevance of the obtained results of research and development work are given.
