Abstract
The publication focuses on three areas of problems: methodology, methods, and procedures for evaluating the results of scientific work. It is based on the definition of the terms "scientific problem", "research objectives," and "theoretical-conceptual framework".
It shows the problems associated with the use of objectivist (positivistic, non-normative) methodology and normative methodology. The tools for scientific research are methods.
They are examined in detail: observation, measurement, experiment, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison, specification, generalization, analysis, synthesis, and modeling. Particular attention is paid to the explanation and, especially, the narrative.
Narration is represented from various perspectives (time, process, and structure-functional). At the same time, the publication seeks to find ways to evaluate the results of scientific research.
It offers an input-output model as the basis for assessing the effects of scientific work. It shows the need to distinguish between the outputs and the results of the scientific activity.
Scientific results are key to scientific knowledge. Various methods for evaluating the effects of scientific research can be used to evaluate the effects of scientific research activities, such as incremental cost-benefit analysis and expert evaluation of applied effects of scientific research.
Conclusions from this analysis can be an information source for discussion on how to evaluate the results of applied scientific knowledge.
