The realities of modern Russian humanities. Self-citation, self-plagiarism independence of scientific research
Scientific research is a process, involvement in which requires from the author not only scientific achievements, but also compliance with certain technological procedures. The relevance of research that forms approaches to determining the quality of scientific work is due to global changes taking place all over the world and in Russia. The work is devoted to a critical understanding of the processes that determine the quality of scientific research in the Russian humanities. An analysis of the concepts of “self-plagiarism ” and “self-citation ” that have entered the modern Russian scientific reality led to the conclusion that these terms are not used in a negative way when determining the quality ofpublications. Self-plagiarism is not theft of other people's thoughts, copyright infringement, and in general is not a violation. When evaluating self-citations and copying by the author of his own articles, it is proposed to proceed from his goals and motives.
