On productivity of regional concentration of scientific potential in Russia

High unevenness of the scientific potential territorial distribution in Russia determines the need to analyze the effectiveness of its concentration in separate regions. Author limited himself to a comparative statistical analysis of the levels of concentration of scientific resources, the productivity of researchers, indicators of technology export, the profitability of intellectual activity results (RID), and the movement of scientific personnel by groups of Federal districts and subjects of the Russian Federation that differ in science intensity. Paper reveals an ambiguity and inconsistency of the considered relations. Thus, high-tech regions are leading in technology exports, but they are the last in terms of research productivity, and only they are losing scientists. In low-tech regions, the ratios are reversed. In general, this indicates a crisis in the territorial organization of science. However, the author believes that the conclusions obtained need to be confirmed based on the analysis of regional statistics data (as they become available) for urban agglomerations, business and university sectors of science, types of activities, and areas of science
