Summary/Abstract: The scientific research activity represents a major factor in socio-economic development and an engine of the economic and social progress; science and technology are key components of modern life and they help countries achieve their economic and social goals, achieve sustainable development. In scientific research we distinguish between basic research, applied research and research for development and innovation. Thus, if knowledge refers to rules and principles, we can consider it a result of basic research, expressed in publications. If knowledge refers to procedures or the application of this knowledge to specific contexts, as a result of the basic research, then we can discuss about the applied scientific research, whose result appears in publications.
