The paradigm of open science in a modern academic society includes changes in the entire scientific research process, from the open access to data and open reviews, to access to scientific papers. Due to the fact that it is necessary to change the evaluation of scientific research, and that the scientific metrics is often abused or misinterpreted, especially the Journal Impact Factor, several declarations were launched on a global level in order to take the common stance of all participants in the evaluation of scientific results. One of the first declarations, DORA (Declaration on Research Assessment), was constituted more than five years ago. Every year, the number of institutions and individuals joining/signing the Declaration is rising, and the tendency of relieving the science from the burden of commercial publishers and becoming truly open makes it more actual.

sThis paper is the result of the research on reading, membership, and library visits in order to encourage reading and increase the number of library users. The statistics are harsh and facts cannot be ignored. There are no excuses. In order to reach the unreached users, we have conducted a research the results of which provided guidelines for improvement of library management. We have designed several projects, two of which have already been implemented: You can loan every book, play the game in our nook and Baby library − Biblio-boy and Biblio-girl. The results of these projects are already visible and measurable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the research on information literacy level of students in Novi Sad. The survey was conducted among students of four different faculties in Novi Sad (Faculty of Economics and Engineering Management, Faculty of Philosophy, Medical Faculty, Law Faculty of Economics and Justice) and users of the Matica Srpska Library. A total of 201 students participated in the research (100 freshmen and 101 fourth year students). As the basic research method for gathering data we used survey. The questionnaire contained 10 questions. The results obtained in this research should increase interest in the concept of information literacy in higher education institutions, and highlight its importance for the entire education system. The goal of the research is to suggest introducing the new course, Basics of Information Literacy, to the undergraduate curriculum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) has mostly been renowned for his historical dramas. However, history was more to him than a literary material; it was also the object of his scientific research. As a professor at the University of Jena, this doctor combined in his personality a historian and a writer, but also a philosopher. His occupation with philosophy has left traces in his historical works, because history had never been to Schiller only a pure listing of facts, but the opportunity to convey his philosophical ideas. His classical historical dramas have been interwoven with the elements of the classical idealistic philosophy under Kant's influence. In this paper there shall be discussed in which way Schiller's philosophical attitudes have determined his understanding of the concept of history, as well as his way of choosing and forming the historical material in his classical dramas.

After an unsuccessful attempt of reducing giftedness to the construct of general intelligence, articulated through Terman's longitudinal study of extremely intelligent children, it became clear that the talent must be seen in the terms of specific domain of its manifestations. Hence, understanding giftedness as domenospecifi c quality has become common place in the modern conceptions of this issue. After explanation of the meaning of the term „domain”, this paper offers an overview of research of abilities, personality traits and environments of the gifted individuals, in relation to certain domains of giftedness, which emphasize the crucial importance of certain domain in the development of specifi c quality of the talent. If we roughly classify domains of giftedness as artistic and academic, the artistic kinds of giftedness can be described in the terms of visual-spatial abilities, unconventionality and low tendency toward conformity, as well as permissive upbringing styles. On the other hand, academic giftedness is based on highly general or verbal intelligence, a tendency towards order and organization, and upbringing styles which balance between discipline and permissivity.

This paper presents an overview of the achievements of rapeseed breeding in the world and discusses the results of rapeseed research at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad. The competitiveness of rapeseed oil in the oil market is increasing. The main goal of rapeseed breeding is the utilization of this crop's genetic potential for yield while reducing the presence of undesirable components in its oil and meal. Rapeseed yields can be improved by breeding cultivars resistant to prevalent pathogens and tolerant of environmental stresses. The value of a rapeseed cultivar is determined primarily on the basis of its seed and oil yields. The erucic acid and glucosinolate contents of the modern rapeseed cultivars from maturity group 00 are much lower than those of the starting populations. Rapeseed breeding is expected to produce using conventional and biotechnology methods new cultivars and hybrids having high and stable yields and seeds with improved nutritive value.
