This condition makes us assess interrelated issues on the characteristics of innovation and doctoral students’ innovative potential to create this innovation. The article addresses the content analysis of the definition of research innovation and characterizes the innovation specificity in social sciences. Considering the types of the assessment of innovation, the emphasis is put on the quality of research innovation, choosing sustainability signs like quality indicators: contextuality, value-orientation, process management and systems of the resource use. Interviewing the doctoral students in social sciences (N=6), the questions dealt with innovation, sustainability in innovation and the environment promoting the innovative research.
