metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This work is inspired by the article “Local Humanities and Education in Front of the Third
  Millennium Challenges” by B. G. Sokolov. He discussed the “local challenges” generated by
  “integration” and “optimization” that have nothing to do with the scientific process, and about
  simulation actions as the expected response to these challenges. The author considers typical
  ways of simulating the scientific process, leading to an increase in the quantitative parameters
  of reports, but not contributing to an increase in scientific knowledge (artificial increase in
  publication activity; defense of frankly weak qualifying works, including dissertations; imitation
  pseudoscientific conferences; “omnivorous” paid journals; blurring the lines between
  genres of work in pursuit of funding). The proliferation of simulation mechanisms that do not
  contradict normative documents testifies to the loss of the qualitative criteria necessary for
  the self-preservation of science. The use of regulatory instruments provided for by the current
  bureaucratic acts is also formal, and often overtly simulated. In fact, many of the identified
  “challenges” are not “local”, inherent exclusively to Russian science. In addition, as the practice
  of recent years shows, the problems and consequences of the simulation of scientific work
  are well understood by domestic scientists who are trying to draw attention to anomalies and
  develop mechanisms to counter their manifestations (activity of Dissernet and ASEP), which indicates the existence of an “initiative from below”. The author believes that the activity of the
  professional community of art historians and critics can become a model in restoring regulatory
  mechanisms for the humanities. The criteria for the quality of scientific work and traditions
  of criticism that have survived in this community will not replace the imposed quantitative
  parameters, but can reduce the reputation losses of the Russian humanitarian science.
