Sažetak
Taking as a starting point the fact that the social development is being based on science, the author has taken an interest in the analysis of some aspects of scientist reproduction, as the basic factor of science. The analysis has been carried out in SR Croatia as an example, for SR Croatia is considered to be the republic that has just found itself in a situation of an utter dependence upon the policy of the development of scientific work and scientific cadre.
About six thousand persons in Croatia have taken a pre-doctor’s and doctor’s degrees, after the World War II. Annual growth is rather different. There are great differences in the number of new doctors of science among different disciplines. The greatest growth is present in chemistry, medical science, economics (about half of the acquired doctorates from 1950—74 refer to those three disciplines).
But a great number of persons from other republics acquire pre-doctor’s degrees in SR Croatia. In 1974, every third new magistrate and every fourth new doctor of science had a permanent sojourn out of Croatia. From the total number of doctorates, acquired in 1974, in medical science, 20% refers to persons out of Croatia.
Only every second new doctor of science has acquired the pre-doctor’s degree. Just two of the ten new doctors in medical science have got a pre-doctor’s degree, and in natural sciences and mathematical field even nine of the ten.
About 6 years is necessary for a person to take a pre-doctor’s degree after the graduation, and about 11 years is necessary to take doctor’s degree. The age of new doctors of science, considered as a whole, is increasing. Stronger social influence, in the last seven years, causes the retaining of the average age at the time of a doctorate at the same level (at 40-years of age).
Physical volume of dissertation, measured by a number of pages, much differs according to the scientific field. The least is in veterinary and the greatest in socio- economic field. Average physical volume of dissertation in all the fields (except the veterinary one), in the period 1950—75, is constantly increasing.
