The authors of the article set a goal to identify the most accurate and economical methods for assessing the innovative potential of megacity in terms of the used resources. For that purpose, methods were selected, calculations were carried out for two of them, which were suitable for the goal and described in detail in the methodological literature. The results of two other methods presented in the public domain for comparable periods of time for three selected regions were used. The study used materials from Russian and foreign sources. Based on the results of the work done, certain conclusions were made that allow a more accurate selection of methods for assessing the innovative potential of cities, considering the objectives of such an assessment, as well as the resource availability of a group of researchers. A critical view is also presented on the further application of all methods, which requires researchers of the local innovation potential to have the accuracy, objectivity in assessments, and independence in their interpretation.
In the article, the authors set a goal to identify the most accurate and eco-nomical methods for assessing the innovative potential of regions for the de-velopment of their transport infrastructure in terms of the resources used. There two parts of the work which are going to be published in different is-sues. To achieve the goal, methods were selected, calculations were carried out for two of them, which are suitable for the goal and described in detail in the methodological literature, and the results of two methods presented in the public domain for comparable periods of time for three selected regions were used. The study used materials from Russian and foreign sources. Based on the results, certain conclusions were made that allow more accurate selection of methods for assessing the innovative potential of regions, taking into account the objectives of such an assessment, as well as the resource availability of a researcher group. However, none of the methods considers the development of transport infrastructure as a separate factor. A critical view on the further application of all methods is going to be presented in the next issue.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
