Historia mediów polskich w świetle wskaźników bibliometrycznych
HISTORY OF THE POLISH MEDIA IN CONTEXT OF BIBLIOMETRIC INDICATORS

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on answering the question if media history is subject to bibliometric trends in ways similar to natural sciences, or does it have its own peculiar characteristics. The material for research consists of Historiographical Citation Index of Polish Media 1945–2010. Following issues were subject to study, among various aspects characteristic for history: language locality, publishing forms, differences in works’ citations depending on its type (contributions, synthesis’) and peculiarities of author distributions (Lorenz curve, Lotka law). A half-life indicator is also analyzed, and a HL14 indicator introduced, with related analysis. Comparison and correlation of selected parameters (citations, HL14, Hirsch index, publication number, volume, etc) was produced as well.
