Sažetak
Kriteriji znanstvene izvrsnosti su u svakoj, osobito relativno maloj znanstvenoj zajednici poput Hrvatske, neophodan ali i neizostavan društveni sustav poticaja, odgovornosti i očekivanja od znanstvenika (doktora znanosti) kao vrha hrvatske znanstveno-obrazovne piramide. Istodobno, oni su i iskaz “samoorganiziranosti” ovog populacijski uskog segmenta hrvatskog društva. Znanstvenici njima oblikuju svoju osobnu i zajedničku potrebu i obvezu kontinuirane potvrde svoje intelektualne radoznalosti i talenta, istraživačkom predanošću i marljivošću, te mjerljivim i struci ali i široj društvenoj zajednici razumljivim rezultatima. Samo stručno razumna i društveno nijansirana kombinacija institucionalne (vanjske) kontrole i (unutarnje) samoodgovornosti znanstvenika može rezultirati objektivnom ocjenom znanstvenog doprinosa i potaknuti rast znanstvene produktivnosti. U tom smislu se u radu propituju kvantitativni i kvalitativni indikatori mjerenja znanstvene izvrsnosti, njihov međusoban odnos, te dinamika mijenjajućih pozicija pojedinih indikatora u cjelovitoj prosudbi kvalitete i primjenljivosti znanstvenih nalaza tijekom vremena.

The Role of the Criteria for Encouraging Scientific Excellence in the Development of Science

Summary
Research assessment criteria in any scientific community, especially a small one like Croatia, represent an indispensable public system of combined incentives, responsibility and expectations from (Ph.D.) researchers, who represent the peak of the scientific and higher education pyramid. At the same time these criteria are a result of the “self-organization” of the research community, that is itself a tiny segment of the Croatian society. With these criteria researchers are shaping their individual and common need and commitment to permanent testing of their intellectual curiosity, research drive and diligence by voluntarily submitting their findings to measurable and comprehensible test results not only to the professional but to the general public, as well. Only a professionally reasonable and publicly nuanced combination of institutional (external) control and (internal) self-responsibility of researchers and teachers themselves has a chance to objectively assess scientific contributions and stimulate research productivity. Following this line of reasoning, the paper aims to analyze quantitative and qualitative indicators measuring scientific excellence, their mutual relationship and interdependence, as well as the dynamics of changing positions of individual indicators in the comprehensive evaluation of the quality and practical implementation possibility of scientific findings over time.
