Abstract

Archiving research of scientific and technical documentation is traditionally is considered in scientific and methodological works, as well as training courses as an equal part of general archival studies. But at the same time, the definition of the term “scientific and technical documentation” has not been fixed yet in the regulatory documents, in historiography, as well as in the terminological standards, where we observe different interpretations of this term. Obviously, the main issue in defining the term “scientific and technical documentation” is its cross-system nature, and likewise its polysemantic use in various fields of science. It is typical that different methodological documents and draft regulations include different documentation systems in this concept. At the same time, the terms “scientific and technical document”, “electronic scientific and technical document” are now actively used. The article analyzes the terminological controversies of the archival studies of scientific and technical documentation. The main issue considered by the author is the definition of the terms “scientific and technical documentation” and “electronic scientific and technical document”. The paper scrutinizes the history of the use of the terms, their historiography. The issues of the relationship between management documentation and scientific and technical documentation are also touched upon. The author of the article formulates and justifies the definitions of the terms “scientific and technical documentation”, “scientific and technical document”, “electronic scientific and technical document”.
