Abstract: | The main objective of this paper is to provide an empirical insight into the changes in the basic characteristics of the knowledge
production mode and of scientific productivity in the Croatian research system in the transitional period. Empirical analysis
is based on the results of two comparable questionnaire studies. The first survey was conducted in 1990 and the sample covered
921 respondents, while the second survey was conducted in 2004 with a sample of 915 respondents. The central characteristics
of the knowledge production mode and of productivity confirm an expected duality: the features that accompany the introduction
of a competitive system of research funding and evaluation on the one hand, and the anachronistic and newly acquired peculiarity
of the research system on the other. Thus, the gap between the improved scientific performance of the researchers and the
conditions in which they work has deepened. Scientific productivity still lags behind the productivity of the (developed)
countries. Though Croatian researchers publish less, they follow basic global trends in the structure of publications, especially
the rise in foreign and co-authored works. |
