https://doi.org/10.51955/2312-1327_2022_4_221
Abstract
The paper contains an overview of the process of the development of science with the emphasis on local science. General models proposed by Imre Lakatos and Thomas Kuhn are described, compared and applied to the sphere of research and development in Angola. The authors analyze the statistics focused on science and its development in Angola, discuss the problems faced by Angolan science and propose the possible solutions.The authors claim that there are key conditions which can provide the global competitiveness of Angola in terms of scientific productivity. The conditions include construction of a benchmarking table for the webometric university ranking indicator and selection of the best university systems in Sub-Saharan African countries; calculations of imitations (simulators) according to variation (increasing) in the webometric rankings of private Angolan Universities in order to increase the webometric university ranking of Angola; construction of a benchmarking table for four webometric indicators for all of the private Universities in Angola
