Analysis of scientific production in the fields of social sciences and humanities in the Czech Republic
Bartoš, Martin ; Jarolímková, Adéla (advisor) ; Dvořák, Jan (referee)
(in English): This thesis performs a descriptive bibliometric analysis of science production in 17 fields of social sciences and humanities in the Czech Republic, successfully verifying the usability of institutional data for this purpose. It focuses on the central areas of scientific production research: publishing strategies, scientific cooperation and the degree of internationalization of the R&D results. The thesis compares the monitored indicators within two ten-year periods: 1998-2007 and 2008-2017. Through the analysis of the R&D results, it reveals not only significant institutional differences, but above all, distinctive field specifics, which point to considerable diversity of the fields of social sciences and humanities. At the same time, it confirms an increase in the number of R&D results and a higher degree of internationalization and scientific cooperation between the analysed periods. The contribution of the work lies not only in the provided characteristics and detailed assessment of the usability of data, but also in pointing out the breadth of the uses of institutional resources for the analysis of scientific production, which far exceeds the capabilities of the IS VaVaI system.

(English) The R&D management system was examined in terms of legislation, managing authorities, types of support, support providers, budget and strategic documents in this thesis. In the area of strategic documents, persistent shortcomings were revealed and manifested in non-specific interconnections or overlaps. At the same time, a qualitative shift in the quality of the documents was identified. Furthermore, it was examined whether the strategic measures for the development in the field of molecular biology were fulfilled in more detail. The research was carried out on data related to targeted support, which were obtained from the R&D Information System. Two periods in the years 1995-2014 were analyzed. The structure of the second period from 2005 to 2014 was related to the structure of the first period from 1995 to 2004, which served as a reference. In relation to strategic measures, research has shown that resources have been optimized, capacities have been strengthened and infrastructure has been massively developed.
