Abstract.  Modern science, especially in the social and humanitarian field, is faced with a paradox: an exponential increase in the number of publications is not accompanied by a comparable increase in practically useful knowledge. A significant part of the work reproduces a limited set of semantic constructions, which leads to semantic saturation of subject fields and a decrease in the share of truly innovative research. Goal. To develop a concept and prototype of an information and analytical platform capable of diagnosing “conceptual tautology”, identifying unexplored interdisciplinary gaps and building chains of interrelated scientific papers that maximize social, economic and political impact. Methods. The platform is based on the integration of three methodological blocks: a knowledge management system (ontological engineering of subject fields), an expert system “Audit of scientific research” (formal certification of concepts and calculation of the SGI semantic gap index) and the concept of maximum synergy of science and practice, formalized through a multiplicative model for evaluating the effectiveness of public administration G and an indicator of positive PSR self-regulation. Results. Pilot studies conducted in the subject areas of “Public and municipal Administration” and “Political Science” have shown that the platform is able to: a) quantify the level of semantic saturation of S(t) for any topic; b) identify “white spots” with a GapScore > 0.85; c) create “research programs” (scientific schools), each of which demonstrates a coefficient of social return on SROI investments from 4.8:1 to 9.5:1. The novelty. For the first time, a closed cycle of scientific knowledge management is proposed: from the diagnosis of duplication to the design of breakthrough research chains with a predictable contribution to national competitiveness. Conclusions. The platform is not a control tool, but anscientific navigator and intellectual asset for scientists, supervisors, and authorities, ensuring the transition from extensive replication of meanings to intensive increment of knowledge.
