Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 979 of November 1, 2013 (hereinafter the Resolution) establishes the procedure for mandatory evaluation and annual monitoring of the performance of scientific organizations under the jurisdiction of the federal executive bodies which perform research, developmental and technological works of civil nature (hereinafter the Scientific Organizations) once every five years. The final outcome of the work of the Departmental Commission is a proposal to classify scientific organizations into 3 categories. Category 1 shall be assigned to the leading research organization. Category 2 shall be assigned to the stable scientific organizations that demonstrate satisfactory performance. Category 3 shall be assigned to those which don’t carry on scientific activities, such organizations should be reorganized (liquidated) or have their CEO replaced. The Resolution provides for a two-level mechanism comprising both the expert departmental assessment and the assessment based on measured quantitative criteria. The Federal Monitoring System of Scientific Organizations Performance (FMSSOP) shall constitute the information base of the two-level mechanism. The State Scientific Research Institute of Civil Aviation ranks below in the number of publications in the scientific citation indexing services Web of Science, Scopus, but not below in the other performance indicators assigned to the industry scientific organizations of the Ministry of Transport of Russia. It would be useful to include the collection of research papers Scientific Bulletin of the State Scientific Research Institute of Civil Aviation into the science citation database Scopus. FMSSOP should show the minimal performance indicators and assessment of the rank of any particular scientific organization in the respective reference group, the comparison with the performance indicators of the similar scientific organizations in the economically developed countries, and the category assigned on the basis of evaluation of any particular scientific organization performance by the federal executive body, taking into account the recommendations of the inter-departmental committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
