Abstracts

EN

The study analyses the present criteria for evaluating the quality of published work in the historical sciences at universities. It traces the criteria used when distributing grants, deciding on comprehensive accreditation and during qualification procedures. The analysis shows that the current criteria are inconsistent in content, do not correspond to the tradition of research and do not react to the current problems of research in the field of the historical sciences in Slovakia. The study also points to the fact that bad setting of the criteria are bringing into practice a whole series of negative phenomena, which include casting of doubt on the value of the humanities for society, efforts to evade the criteria by means of various questionable strategies, decline in the quality of research and the whole academic environment.
