Abstract: The existing practices of the quantitative estimate of the investment of the national science to the world one are analyzed. The author demonstrates the inadequacy of these methods as well as the incorrectness the view of the functions of science citation which grounds these methods. The empirical data represented proves the fact that favorability of countries for life in them and other indicators of their wellbeing are determined not by their contribution to the world science but by their capability of using its achievements.
