Abstract
Academic assessment in humanities is a topic that draws ever more attention in contemporary academe. In that context, lexicographers and philologists make effort to recognize criteria and methods that may assure trustworthy assessment of different aspects of lexicographical work. While the assessment of theoretical lexicography seems to be fairly unproblematic, as well as the assessment of (practical) commercial lexicography, the evaluation of (practical) scholarly lexicography, i. e. scientific dictionary-making, shows to be a difficult issue.
Here, the matter of assessment of lexicographical work, primarily scholarly dictionary-making, is discussed only after current trends in the assessment in humanities has been tackled. Also, the discussion is actualized by analyzing directives relevant for the assessment of the scholarly lexicography that are established by the newly enacted regulations considering academic promotions in Croatia. It has been concluded that the status of scholarly lexicography in Croatia has been recently improved, comparing to the previous sets of regulations, but there is yet much to be done before it receives treatment it deserves and actually has in those countries where scholarly dictionary-making thrives.
