The article shows that the evaluation of scientific results should be based on the determination of the substance of scientist's specific contribution to world science and scientific innovations, and not on manipulating the quantitative indicators of publication activity. It is advisable to use information systems of scientific databases only as an addition to qualitative expert assessment, as well as in a science of science to analyze certain problems of the development of science. The transition to substance-based qualitative assessment requires a radical restructuring of scientific results recording system at the level of the country and R&D organizations through the creation of appropriate scientific achievements registers.
