Summary/Abstract: Despite the difficulties that researchers have struggled with for centuries, there still is a relatively large group of those willing to join the ranks of scientific workers. Cognitive abilities and strong research interests, however, are rather unique today, hence it is certainly prudent to protect individuals possessing such traits and to support their scientific development, removing obstacles or problems researchers typically encounter. This paper offers an interdisciplinary insight into science studies and as such, it is addressed to researchers representing all kinds of science and its subdisciplines. It is also recommended for students (including doctoral students) and institutions cooperating with universities and making practical use of research outcomes, breakthroughs, inventions or rationalization in a variety of spheres. It is our belief that this paper may also prove interesting for the family members of researchers; in reading it one may better understand the specific problems related to the profession of one’s father, mother, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather etc. The paper should also be read by psychologists, pedagogues, teachers, educators, guardians and animators of the youth since it is them who diagnose and shape the interests and cognitive passions of their learners and prepare them for possible future university careers.
