Abstract
- Goal. The goal of the research was to analyze the similarities and differences in the publishing practices of authors in the social sciences and humanities in the Republic of Croatia, considering the field of science in which they work and the academic status to which they belong. The specific goals of this work were to examine the connection between publishing practices and the pressure to publish, and the differences between the reasons for publishing between authors from the social sciences and humanities and in relation to belonging to different academic status. Methodology. The research was conducted from July to September 2021. A total of 319 respondents from the social sciences and 292 from the humanities in the Republic of Croatia in various academic titles participated in the questionnaire. Results. The results of the analysis of publication practices have shown that the respondents from the field of humanities publish more editorial books and book chapters, while the respondents from the field of social sciences publish more papers in journals and conference proceedings. The respondents of higher academic status publish more than the respondents of lower academic status in all types of publications. The differences in the reasons for publishing are not large, but on average the intrinsic reasons for publishing works are slightly more pronounced among respondents in the humanities: they gladly accept new scientific challenges and enjoy research and writing. The affirmation as an independent scientist is equally important to respondents in both fields. The extrinsic reasons for publishing papers are somewhat more important for respondents with higher academic status: they are collaborators on projects in which research results are expected to be published, and thereby contribute to the possibility of financing future projects. The reason for publication due to the salary increase is somewhat higher for respondents with a lower academic status. The respondents of higher academic status perceive less pressure for publishing than their younger colleagues. The average perceived pressure to publish is equal for authors from both fields. Originality. The paper contributes to the understanding of publishing behavior of authors from the social sciences and humanities with different academic status. The results of this research contribute to understanding the publishing patterns and reasons for publishing, and give insights into the perceived pressure of authors to publish works due to fulfilling the conditions for academic promotion.
