The scientific publishing achievements of Polish scientific institutions from the group of economic sciences in view of the parametric appraisal conducted by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education in 2017

Abstract

Background: The process of appraising scientific institutions provides the possibility to review and rank their scientific publications, and makes it possible to assess the current publications in the aspect of the next appraisal. The article analyzes the scientific publications of scientific insti­tutions classified as economic.

Research purpose: The purpose of the research is to indicate the most popular journals, publish­ers, and scientific conferences in the economic disciplines, defining their significance in the next appraisal in 2021. It makes it possible to draw preliminary conclusions regarding the implemen­tation of scientific policy in the field of economic sciences.

Methods: The material was developed on the basis of data from scientific institutions that were assessed in the parametric appraisal in 2017. Using analytical methods, information on the literary output of researchers from the economic disciplines was extracted. Data on journals, publishers, and conferences were ranked. Various data records by the reporting agents were taken into ac­count, which were unified for this work. Conclusions: The analysis shows that a large part of the most valuable literary output in the studied disciplines will lose its relevance in the next evaluation. There is a need to adapt to new appraisal principles in order to increase the importance of scientific achievements. It was pointed out that the publications under study in the field of economics are not fully representative.
