Eminent Scientists' Productivity: Scientific Excellence and Socio-Cognitive Context

Sažetak
An empirical (questionnaire) study on a sample of 385 eminent Croatian
scientists was earned out in order to examine the quantity, patterns und factors
of their scientific productivity at the level of the whole scientific system as well
us in four scientific fields. Although the respondents have published a significantly
different number of works during their careers, they have an almost equal
average number of scientific publications over a five year period.. There are,
however, significant differences in their production of solo-authored, coauthored
and foreign works. The composition and the explanatory power of the
productivity factors differ in the observed fields already at the application of a
narrower block of (socio-demographic, socializational, qualificational and organizational)
predictors. By including eminent scientists’ gatekeeping roles in
the original predictors’ set, the differences markedly increase. In spite of that,
the scientific and linguistic qualifications (within the narrower bloc of predictors),
and the involvement in the international scientific activity (in the broader
one), are significant or even the most important factors of eminet scientists’
productivty in all scien tific fields.
