Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents the authors' approach to the assessment and analysis of regional intellectual and innovation activities with such main components as intellectual and innovation potential, climate and capital. The validity and reliability of the developed indexes were tested on the basis of a set of economic and statistical data characterising the development of 12 Russian regions for 15 years with methods of factor analysis, correlation and regression analysis and measurement theory. This research demonstrates a stable and statistically significant relationship between economic development of the regions and their intellectual and innovation activities. The panel data regression analysis of the aggregated indexes and the indicators of regional economic development proved the authors' hypothesis of the mutual influence of regional innovation and economic development with a deferred (time lag) effect.
