By the signed resolution, amendments were made to the Regulations, which are aimed at improving the procedures of the state system of scientific certification, taking into account the practice of application.

The circle of persons who are allowed to defend dissertations for the degree of Candidate of Sciences has been expanded, at the expense of scientists and teachers belonging to the teaching staff, who are entitled to prepare dissertations at their main place of work, and not only within the framework of graduate school or in the status applicants attached to another organization.

A three-year period of validity of the conclusion from the organization in which the dissertation was carried out was established (in the current version, the period is not set).

The term of access on the Internet to the announcement of the dissertation defense for the degree of Doctor of Science has been increased - from 8 months to 12 months, the degree of Candidate of Sciences - from 5 months to 10 months, the term of access on the Internet to the full text of the dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Science - from 9 months to 12 months, PhD - from 7 months to 10 months (in order to ensure sufficient time for familiarization with the materials of all participants in the procedure).

The regulation is supplemented by two grounds for refusing to accept a dissertation for defense, related to the discrepancy between the text of the dissertation and the text posted on the website of the organization in which the dissertation council operates, as well as the identification of unreliable information submitted by the applicant for a degree to the dissertation council for preliminary consideration of the dissertation.

In addition, it was decided to abandon the notification procedure for the formation of a list of peer-reviewed publications and provide for the possibility of including a journal previously excluded from this list after three years (in the current version - without the right to restore).

Now the meetings of the dissertation council will be recorded by means of audio-video recording (in the current version - not regulated).

Expert councils are empowered to invite to their meetings applicants for scientific degrees, as well as other persons related to the substance of the issues considered at the meeting (in the current wording - only to meetings of the Higher Attestation Commission under the Ministry of Education and Science).

Also excluded is the requirement that applicants for the degree of doctor of science, candidate of science in medical sciences, veterinary sciences, and legal sciences have a specialized education, confirmed by a specialist or master's diploma.

In addition, the procedures for considering appeals against decisions of dissertation councils, including the deprivation of academic degrees, are detailed.
