The study examines the concept of "science" through the prism of the language of law and legal doctrine. The authors claim the need to put down the working definition of science in legal acts, since this term has a practical meaning when qualifying certain relations as scientific. The article draws attention to the vagueness of the concept of "science" in the Russian legislation, the absence of such a feature as the creative nature of scientific knowledge in the legal definition.
