2021
Abstract
The article examines the Lakatos methodology of scientific research programmes. This methodology is also inspiring to evaluate the effects of scientific research programmes.
The scientific research programme is a production unit. The production unit (e.g. scientist, research team) produces outputs and results.
The proposed system model shows the ways and forms in which it is possible to detect the effects of scientific research programmes and how to carry out their ex post evaluation.The proposed procedure can thus help to make science policy more effective.
