Popov, E. A. Personal Culture of a Researcher in Terms of Modern Social and Humanitarian Studies

Abstract: Rapid development of modern social and humanitarian studies raises a very important question n about personal qualities of a researcher as a person who presents his personal values when performing scientifi c work. The author notes that the personal culture of a researcher depends on different objective and subjective factors. Among these factors there is the relations that a scientist has with the academic community, his absorption into the subject under review and a high level of profi ciency in theoretical and methodological concepts and research methods of scientifi c activity. The author of the present article focuses on the need for preserving the person-centered nature of modern scientifi c work. Methodological ground of the research is the axiological approach. The author also encourages researches in the philosophy of science as a branch of science. Scientifi c novelty of the research is defi ned by the need for studying the phenomenon of research culture because social and humanitarian studies impose more and more requirements to scientifi c work but these requirements do not consider peculiarities of a personal identity formation of a scientist, his professional qualities and other important circumstances. The present article is devoted to evaluation of different directions of the research culture and the main conclusion made by the author is that there is a certain need for personalizing the research culture and raising personal responsibility of a researcher before scientifi c and professional communities.
