Retrospective Review of the Works of Science: Yesterday and Today as a Start for the Future

Abstract

The article is devoted to statistical processing and analysis of works of science, accumulated in the joint collection of electronic resources “Science and Education” (SFERN&E) for the period from 2005 to the present. The analyzed works of science, in their totality, are considered as the foundation of future science, characterized by interaction, convergence and synchronization of data from different fields of science. The article answers the questions: At the junction of which fields of science are works of science most often produced? What is the frequency of interaction between the various fields of science? Which fields of science are the leaders in interaction with each other? Answers to these questions will reveal the synergy between past and present science as the foundation for the science of the future.
