Summary/Abstract: Purpose/Thesis: This article introduces the Corpus of Polish Science of Science Journals (CPSSJ), a specialized corpus created to support research in the field of science of science and its development in Poland. Approach/Methods: The construction of the corpus was based on the digitization of previously non-digitized articles and the retrieval of articles from scientific journal we- bsites and digital libraries. The documents were processed by various natural language processing methods. Results and Conclusions: The capabilities of the CPSSJ are demonstrated through a topic modeling analysis of the Nauka Polska journal. The current iteration of the CPSSJ incorpo- rates 12 Polish science of science journals published between 1918 and 2020, comprising a total of 51,822 documents. Research Limitations: The study acknowledges limitations of the corpus, particularly in the context of natural language processing and optical text recognition. While acknowled- ging some limitations, the article also explores opportunities for the future development of corpus. Practical Implications: In the future, the corpus could facilitate the reconstruction of discourses related to science and higher education in Poland, thus enhancing the reco- gnition of Polish science of science globally. Originality/Value: The construction of this corpus represents an original undertaking, involving the digitization and processing of science of science papers. This effort resulted in the creation of a unique tool for discourse analysis
