Modern OECD research systems rely heavily on competitive grants, peer review, scoring, and limited-term awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Similarity_All_Three_Systems_Try_to_Solve_the_Same_Problem\"><\/span>Similarity: All Three Systems Try to Solve the Same Problem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Science has a hard allocation problem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who deserves attention, funding, verification, salary, and institutional support?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The USSR answered: the state and official scientific hierarchy decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current system answers: universities, journals, grant panels, citation metrics, and credentials decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AIIM answers: open AI-assisted evaluation, public verification, and meritocratic funding should decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the difference is not whether there is governance. Every research system has governance. The real difference is <strong>who controls the filter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"USSR_Science_and_Current_Science_The_Hidden_Similarity\"><\/span>USSR Science and Current Science: The Hidden Similarity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current research system is not communist, but it has several USSR-like features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Institutional_hierarchy\"><\/span>1. Institutional hierarchy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the USSR, scientific legitimacy depended strongly on official institutions. In the current system, it often depends on university affiliation, degree status, journal prestige, and grant history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can make both systems conservative. A discovery from outside the recognized hierarchy may be ignored even if it is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Bureaucratic_allocation\"><\/span>2. Bureaucratic allocation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soviet science used state planning. Modern science uses grant calls, panels, rankings, institutional funding, publication metrics, and administrative evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The form changed. The bottleneck remained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Preference_for_safe_projects\"><\/span>3. Preference for safe projects<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Centralized systems tend to prefer predictable outputs. In the USSR, this meant politically and economically directed priorities. In current academia, it often means projects that are easy to publish, easy to review, and safe for grant panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This reduces the probability of recognizing radical discoveries early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Major_Difference_The_Current_System_Is_More_Open_Than_the_USSR\"><\/span>Major Difference: The Current System Is More Open Than the USSR<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comparison should not be exaggerated. The current scientific system is much more open than the USSR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers can publish internationally, use preprint platforms, create websites, collaborate across borders, and criticize institutions. The USSR was authoritarian and centrally planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the current system is not Soviet. But it has <strong>Soviet-style inefficiencies inside a formally liberal environment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_AIIM_Differs_Most\"><\/span>Where AIIM Differs Most<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AIIM is designed to weaken the monopoly of traditional gatekeepers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of asking only:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhich university, journal, or grant agency endorsed this person?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AIIM asks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat did this person actually contribute, and can independent reviewers or AI-assisted systems verify its value?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This changes scientific effectiveness in four ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>More discoveries can enter the evaluation pipeline.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Independent researchers become visible.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Verification becomes a funded activity, not unpaid charity.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scientific marketing becomes legitimate work, helping overlooked results reach reviewers.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Effectiveness_Which_System_Performs_Best\"><\/span>Effectiveness: Which System Performs Best?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The USSR could be effective for large strategic projects because central planning can concentrate resources. But it was weak at open-ended intellectual exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current system is effective at producing papers, careers, and incremental research. But it often wastes talent through credential barriers and slow recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AIIM could be more effective for neglected discoveries, independent researchers, and open-source science \u2014 if it solves quality control, fraud resistance, and ranking reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The USSR, current science, and <a href=\"https:\/\/science-dao.org\/ru\/meritocracy\/\">AIIM<\/a> are three answers to the same coordination problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The USSR centralized science through the state.<br>The current system decentralizes it formally, but still concentrates power in universities, journals, and grant agencies.<br>AIIM tries to decentralize recognition itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key question is not whether science needs evaluation. It does. The key question is whether evaluation should remain controlled by institutional gatekeepers \u2014 or become open, AI-assisted, and meritocratic.<\/p>\n<div id=\"scien-2552570889\" class=\"scien-after-content scien-entity-placement\"><section>\r\n\r\n<h2>Support Independent Science<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Supporting independent science is not only a matter of fairness to researchers whose expertise and work are often underfunded.
