| Abstract [eng] |
Science communication is going to be the most actual theme that is discussed in Lithuania, including analysis of development and spread of scientific ideas, results of scientific researchers, and cooperation and collaboration of scientific community. In recent years, in Lithuania there were developed several researches for analysis of the position and conditions, expression and manifestation of formal documentary science communication. In the Lithuanian and foreign scientific tradition, the problems of scientific networks (networks of scientists) were investigated only in the context of scientific communication, but the network question was not raised. The aim of the investigation (carried 2008) could be named as, first, analysis of the networks of scientists allows to show the main points of collections of scientific ideas in particular scientific spheres (scientific journals, scientific conferences, scientific organizations, etc.); second, analysis of scientific network to show the development of the scientific sphere, the evolution of scientific ideas and main tendencies. Analysis of the network of scientists allows to investigate not only formal and informal scientific network, but also to exhibit tendencies of the development and change of interdisciplinary scientific researches, as well as to involve scientists and other interested parties into discussion. T he research deals with attitudes of Lithuanian scientists working in the field of humanities toward science communication, analysis of the development of scientific publications, relations among scientists through the scientific journals that are selected for publication of scientific articles. |
