Abstract

The paper aims to identify the individual characteristics of Russian scientists that have a positive impact on innovation activity. Using the 'Monitoring Survey of Highly Qualified R&D Personnel' (2016 data collection round), the paper found that factors such as gender, age, labour mobility, and professional collaboration have an impact on scientists' innovation activity. The empirical analysis revealed that individual qualities, such as the ability to find practical application of the results, to choose and use best practices, equipment, and tools, to respond quickly to changes, and to easily adapt to new conditions, have a positive effect on the innovative activity of scientists. The paper concludes that publications in refereed foreign journals have no direct impact on the innovative activity of scientists.
