Contributing administrative procedures in the sector of legal research in the context of the economic instability and national self-identity

Abstract

The article's focus is on the examination of the extant administrative procedures that contribute to the field of legal scientific activity. It is proposed that the thesis on the necessity of taking into account the national self-identity of Ukrainian legal science in the implementation of European standards for the protection of subjects of scientific activity be accepted. It seems appropriate to enhance the administrative procedures pertaining to scientific activity by: 1) Adopting the Regulation on the peculiarities of obtaining a scientific degree in the field of law; 2) Approving the Order on Special Requirements for Candidates for Academic Title in the Field of Law; 3) Adopting the Concept of Grant Support for Legal Research. The methodology of the research is determined by the defined goal and tasks and encompasses a range of scientific knowledge methods, approaches, and actions aimed at acquiring new scientific insights into the determination of contributing administrative procedures of scientific activity. In the course of the study, a variety of methods were employed to gain insight into the nature of scientific knowledge, including the method of system analysis, the dialectical method, the formal-logical methods, the structural-functional and comparative-legal methods, as well as several empirical methods. These methods were used to determine the significance of the specifics of legal scientific activity for their procedural ordering. It is argued that a particular category of persons engaged in legal research activities can be considered to have a national identity in accordance with the current legislative framework and the realities of law enforcement. Concurrently, the author underscores that young scholars have only recently begun their careers as legal professionals and thus still reflect the archetypes of their mentors. It is observed that the period during which they have been positioned as subjects of scientific activity does not permit the conclusion that they are independent and quantitatively predominant. Furthermore, it is imperative that the state provides economic support, including grant funding, for legal research.
