Rola czasopism naukowych w tworzeniu środowiska naukowego
The role of scientific journals in creating a scientific community

Summary/Abstract: In the perspective of the development of science, not only scientific facts are important, but also the environment in which the increase in knowledge takes place. One of the manifestations of the social context of practicing science is the existence of scientific journals, which have been created as a representation of the potential of a specific scientific community. Current changes aimed at trying to develop objective criteria for assessing scientific work also affect the process of creating scientific journals. There are some opportunities associated with this, including: greater openness to cooperation with other centers, or greater objectivity in the assessment of scientific work. However, this is also accompanied by threats, such as the loss of the local specificity of a given magazine and the depersonalization of the publishing process.
