Czy uzasadniony jest postulat uwzględnienia specyfiki nauk humanistycznych i społecznych przy ocenie jednostek naukowych i badaczy? Między peer review a bibliometrią i naukometrią
Is the postulate to take into account the specificity of the humanities and social sciences during the evaluation of scientific units and researchers justified? From peer review to bibliometrics and scientometrics

Summary/Abstract: A significant element of institutional functioning of science is evaluating the functioning of scientificunits (university faculties, research institutes) by institutions established by the state. In Polandsuch an evaluating body is The Committee for Evaluation of Scientific Units, which by means ofstandardised procedures – using a four-point scale (+A, A, B, C) – assesses scientific units every fouryears. The author considers the question: Should there be different criteria for evaluating scientificunits conducting research in the field of the humanities and social sciences from those used in thefield of science? In the author’s view, in order to obtain valid and reliable evaluation it is necessaryto take into account the specificity of the humanities and social sciences.
