The article suggests the relevance of scientific image (SI) management issues for regional universities (RUs), indicating that their resolution would ensure the RUs’ competitiveness at regional, all-Russian and international levels. Currently, the separate higher-educational institutions in the Russian Federation, at regional and federal level, typically lack coordination in their studies of scientific works. Consequently, the critique weighs the major management functions of RU scientific activities and their respective SI projects, assessing the restrictions and other difficulties existing in this respect. At this stage, the paper describes the basic groups of legal and physical SIs, estimating the positions within the RU framework. The document says that understanding the criteria employed by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science on this issue would serve as a useful guideline for comprehending the positions of universities. Subsequently, the study shifts its focus to the RU managerial processes for SI, noting the cyclic repetition of several groups of actions. In this sphere, it adduces the composition of such groups, their time sequence, and their informational and functional interrelations. Moreover, the ’objects of management’ nomenclature, related to university-level SI estimations, is investigated in depth. The blueprint allocates eleven major sources of information, including 33 factors in six key subgroups. For these sources, it estimates their influence, divides their information potential into categories, and tries to assess their influence on ongoing SI projects. At the end of this procedure, the commentary suggests a formula for distinguishing the impacted factors. Generalization of this formula, the study indicates, would help different groups of employees, post-graduate students and undergraduates at university level co-author potential scientific publications. Furthermore, it would increase their SI competitiveness at the aforementioned regional, national and international levels.
