The logistic analysis of the developed documents of strategic planning of scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation on the subject of their substantial conjugacy and compliance with the logic and requirements of the Federal law No. 172 “On strategic planning in the Russian Federation” made it possible to formulate proposals for its further development and improvement.Results. The analysis showed that Federal law No. 172 “On strategic planning in the Russian Federation” forms the conceptual basis for strategic planning of scientific and technological development in the RF.

To this end, it is necessary, first, to finalize, in the context of the tasks of scientific and technological development, the methodological requirements for the documents of the sectoral and regional level and, secondly, to ensure the logic (sequence) of the development of such documents, allowing to really ensuring their meaningful internal relationship.
