Abstract: Although the economic science has the largest quantity of defended dissertations, in practice the national economics shows not very satisfying results of its development. This situation indirectly shows low quality of dissertational research and weak demand on their results. Having an aim to overcome this unpleasant situation the Russian Ministry of Science and Educational makes a grand reformation of systems provided with expertise of dissertational research and scientific employees attestation. The Ministry establishes higher demands to members of dissertational councils, optimizes quantity of these councils in the aspects of scientific specialties and regions, establishes stricter regulations for the procedures of preparing, primary expertise and defense of dissertations. Besides the Ministry establishes higher publicity of dissertational researches: it increases minimal quantity of a postdoc’s scientific publications provided with a topic of his dissertation, as well as a degree of publications’ connection with the thesis planned to be defended. Dissertation and there short thesis accepted to defense by a dissertational council should be compulsory opened to general public. The procedure of expertise of dissertational documents in Higher Attestation Commission is also being improved. But these changes have formal character and don’t change contentions of the problem. Scientific and practical use of dissertational researches is still very low, and dissertational activities as a whole aren’t useful for development of innovational economy. In aim to find a way of solving these problems and provide a wished mainstream of perspective economic research, in the present article we prove necessity of reforming contents in the economic science’s classification. From this point of view, we analyze the present system of scientific specialties established by Higher Attestation Commission. We project contours of its’ wished configuration in near perspective and offer the scenery of movement from one state to another. As a result, we offer to increase number of economic scientific specialties from six to eight, as well as change radically the content of their passports.
