Wokół problematyki gatekeeperów w prawniczej komunikacji naukowej
On the issue of gatekeepers in juristic scholarly communication

Summary/Abstract: The article addresses selected problems associated with the subjects who have a significant influence on the selection of legal scientific research results that are disclosed, published, delivered to addressees, and which are sometimes treated as confidential and classified. These are tasks thatcan be considered as those of a special selector, or gatekeeper, in juristic scientific communication. Juristic scientific communication is understood in this text as communication between legal scientists, and as communication that is transformed into legal practice. It also encompasses the communication of commissioned research results by scientists to other external stakeholders, and the communication between scientists and the public. The questions posed in this text are as follows: are the paths of legal scholarly communication currently changing and, if so, how? Who has an important or decisive influence on the filtering of legal research results that enter public legal discourse, and who may close certain ‘gates’ and why – given that these factors prevent scholars, practitioners and the public from accessing certain content? Does digital culture have an impact on the phenomena of gates? Does the fact that open scholarly communication (open access) is developing dynamically have any influence on who is a gatekeeper?
