On the Possibility of Dissertation for Candidate of Science Degree Submission in the Form of a Report Prepared Based on the Published Works

The paper deals with the possibility of presenting a candidate of science degree dissertation in the form of a scientific report prepared based on a set of works previously published by the applicant in the relevant field of science, which are of great importance for science, engineering and technology. The author considers the experience of regulating this format in relation to a doctoral dissertation, including organizations exercising the right to independently award academic degrees. The main characteristics of this format are studied, including the requirement that a wide range of specialists know the results of research and development. The possible risks and consequences of introducing the format of a candidate degree dissertation in the form of a scientific report, associated with the refusal to formalize the materials of a scientific research in accordance with the uniform rules for preparing a dissertation manuscript, are assessed. Possible changes in the normative legal acts on the publication activity of the applicant for a scientific degree, on the requirements for the structure of a scientific report are analyzed.
