Future directions in solid state chemistry: report of the NSF-sponsored workshop
2002
Abstract A long-established area of scientific excellence in Europe, solid state chemistry has emerged in the US in the past two decades as a field experiencing rapid growth and development. At its core, it is an interdisciplinary melding of chemistry, physics, engineering, and materials science, as it focuses on the design, synthesis and structural characterization of new chemical compounds and characterization of their physical properties. As a consequence of this inherently interdisciplinary character, the solid state chemistry community is highly open to the influx of new ideas and directions. The inclusionary character of the field’s culture has been a significant factor in its continu…

In this chapter, the author maintains that rankings of universities and their social carriers participate in the relatively successful practical realization of the academic standards they seek to codify and of the shaping of reality according to the criteria they promote. In this sense, global university rankings are becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy, a prediction that becomes true through positive feedback of varying intensity. They have succeeded in establishing through quantitative objectification certain types of equivalences between scientific excellence and numerical indicators. The reasons for their success are their performative efficiency (‘scientific’, quantitative) and the prac…
Wolność wyboru rodzaju działalności naukowej a przesłanki ustawowe uzyskania tytułu naukowego profesora
2022
Niniejsze opracowanie dotyczy analizy ustawowych kryteriów dla przyznania tytułu profesora, w ramach tak zwanej Konstytucji dla Nauki. W treści artykułu postawiono nacisk na swobodę wyboru formy aktywności naukowej dla kandydata do tytułu profesora, jaka wynika z treści ustawy. Ustawodawca użył złożonej normy prawnej dla ustalenia kryteriów dla kandydata do tytułu profesora. Może ona budzić wątpliwości zarówno praktyczne, jak i teoretyczne
