Abstract

The article aims to assess, based on recent research, the transformations the science’s ethos. The study is comparative in many respects. We used the results of empirical studies of the scientific community of modern Poland and the Republic of Korea, the methodological basis of research is the concept of the scientific ethos by R. Merton. The results show, on the one hand, a profound transformation of the ethical principles of science, which leads to the stratification of the scientific community into several types (academic, industrial, post-academic science, marginal group). On the other hand, scientists consider classical norms as an example of the correct structure of science. We also argued that similar processes are typical for modern Russian science.
