O ułatwieniach w dostępie do źródeł archiwalnych dotyczących prawa sądowego w Królestwie Polskim

Author(s): Dorota Wiśniewska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

Recently in Poland, there have been conducted activities promoting research work conducted by legal historians. They include digitizing and making archival sources available in digital form. First and foremost, digital copies of civil registry files, record books, files of administrative bodies and family archives are made. For any researcher dealing with the law of the Kingdom of Poland, the digitalization of files of central administration bodies, acts of territorial administration bodies, civil status records and notarial deeds is of utmost importance. Digital copies of archives are, among others, available on the Internet. This is a great convenience for legal historians: it not only shortens the time of reaching sources and allows one to read their content, but also contributes to a significant reduction in the cost of running a source query, due to the lack of the necessity to go to the archive. Making digital copies available on various websites is very time-consuming and it requires considerable financial resources, but allows one to conduct source queries on an unprecedented scale.

BIBLIOTECA DIGITALĂ A ROMÂNIEI. O PLEDOARIE PENTRU VALORIFICAREA PATRIMONIULUI CULTURAL

Author(s): Ana-Maria Roman-Negoi / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1 supp./2024

The digitization of cultural heritage in Romania is a subject that arised almost twenty years ago, in the context in which scientific research felt the need to reach more quickly the information specific to each field of activity, together with the desire to preserve for the future the most representative achievements of culture and civilization. Digitisation, digitalisation and digital transformation are currently among the most frequently used terms in many areas of social life: administration, economy, culture, education. This terminology, which has become synonymous with the very progress of civilisation, encompasses bold, long-term objectives for which impressive human and financial resources are being deployed, the Digital Europe programme being perhaps the most powerful example of this . The most consistent project of recent years in Romania in this direction has certainly been the Digital Library of Romania, both in terms of the funding that such an effort involves, but also in terms of the volume and variety of material digitised and made freely available to the public. This paper aims to present the achievements of this project and the prospects it opens up in the field of research and valorisation of the national cultural heritage.

Ефекти от комерсиализацията на научната информация

Author(s): Olya Harizanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 9/2017

The timeliness of this topic is indisputable having in mind the current volume of scientific production and the need for analysing and evaluating the increasing information flow. Of particular interest is the growing tendency to link industries to scientific excellence: on the one hand, in their application in the production of new products (goods, services), and on the other – in the application of new business models for the development and promotion of scientific excellence. Today there is an expansion of the scope of publishing systems, the number of Internet based platforms for the exchange of scientific results, the providers of scientific information (especially in electronic format), open access systems, and the large repositories of scientific products. One of the most pronounced wires for this distribution is the quoted indexes/pointers. They have been recognized globally as a quality, prestige and a wave of significant changes in policies to regulate scientific activities. At the same time, many problems have emerged, both in terms of freedom in the creative process of scientists and in the availability of dissemination systems. In Bulgaria, the problem is particularly relevant and significant. In the areas of natural sciences and technical sciences, the citation of the work of Bulgarian researchers could be identified by foreign scientific databases. In the field of social sciences and humanities, however, this is difficult to apply, and in number of thematic sub-areas – not applicable (e.g. related to national identity or the protection of national interests). In fact, although there are sporadic examples, at present there is no established practice in our country to track the authors' citations and publications in the field of social sciences. This is a real and significant barrier to popularizing the results of Bulgarian scientists as well as maintaining a high level of their scientific prestige. Getting a real idea of the scientific and research achievements of these individuals at present is not possible. The article explores two effects of the problems mentioned above: the emergence of multiple platforms for scientific production (in response to the monopolized market from 2-3 corporations) and the emergence of free access platforms (mostly pirated) to full-text content of costly articles.
