The article provides a summary of the main findings of research conducted as part of a project funded by the National Science Centre. The research was meta-scientific in nature and fell within the research current: the study of political science as a discipline / sociology of political science. It was conducted using the method of non-directive interviews with groups of scholars at five Polish universities.
