20.500.12556/DiRROS-28077 O pristopih in metodologiji raziskovanja kompleksnih dinamičnih družbenih pojavov, objektivnosti ter financiranju in evalvaciji raziskovanja in znanosti (znanstveni esej) Approaches and Methodologies for Researching Complex Dynamic Social Phenomena, Objectivity, and the Financing and Evaluation of Research and Science (Scientific Essay) V znanstvenem eseju predstavljam pregled tem in področij, s proučevanjem katerih sem se ukvarjal v štirih desetletjih svoje raziskovalne kariere in o njih pisal v svojih objavah, ter oceno njihove relevantnosti in aktualnosti. Sledijo razmišljanja o raziskovalnih pristopih in metodologiji raziskovanja kompleksnih družbenih pojavov ter o prednostih, omejitvah, slabostih in problemih raziskovalnih pristopov, metod in tehnik, ki sem jih uporabljal, kombiniral in razvijal pri raziskovanju. V tem kontekstu pozornost namenjam vprašanjem objektivnosti ter subjektivnosti, ideološke in vrednostne pogojenosti družboslovnega in humanističnega raziskovanja, etičnosti v raziskovanju in znanosti ter problematičnim težnjam za politično korektnost raziskovanja in znanosti. V nadaljevanju obravnavam problematiko delovanja in financiranja raziskovanja in znanosti v Sloveniji in širše ter predstavljam nekaj predlogov za razreševanje ključnih problemov. Esej zaključujem z razmišljanji o institucionalni evalvaciji raziskovalnih in znanstvenih institucij, individualni evalvaciji raziskovalcev ter preverjanju in ocenjevanju kakovosti raziskovalnega dela in rezultatov. Kritično razmišljam o pozitivnih in negativnih posledicah uveljavljanja načela »objavljaj ali propadi« (publish or perish), o pomenu bibliometrije in individualnih recenzij (peer review) pri preverjanju kakovosti v raziskovanju in znanosti, o problemih akademskega založništva in odprtega dostopa do objav v znanstvenih revijah in monografijah, o vlogi indeksov, ki jih večinoma oblikujejo in upravljajo zasebna dobičkovna podjetja, ter o prihodnjem razvoju raziskovanja in znanosti. This scientific essay provides an overview of the main themes and fields explored by the author over four decades of research and scholarly publishing, together with an assessment of their relevance and contemporary significance. It then reflects on research approaches and methodologies for studying complex social phenomena, offering a critical discussion of the advantages, limitations, weaknesses, and challenges of the approaches, methods, and techniques applied, combined, and developed in the author’s work. Particular attention is devoted to issues of objectivity and subjectivity, the ideological and value-laden nature of research in the social sciences and humanities, research ethics, and problematic tendencies related to political correctness in research and science. The essay further addresses questions concerning the organisation and financing of research and science in Slovenia and in a broader international context, outlining several proposals for addressing key structural problems. The concluding section reflects on the institutional evaluation of research organisations and the individual evaluation of researchers, as well as the assessment and validation of research quality and outcomes. It offers a critical discussion of both the positive and negative consequences of the publish-or-perish principle, the role of bibliometric indicators and peer review in quality assurance, challenges in academic publishing and open access to scholarly journals and monographs, the influence of indices largely controlled by private for-profit companies, and possible directions for the future development of research and science. metodologija raziskovanje kompleksnih dinamičnih družbenih pojavov etnične in manjšinske študije delovanje in financiranje raziskovanja in znanosti evalvacija v raziskovanju in znanosti methodology research on complex dynamic social phenomena ethnic and minority studies organisation and financing of research and science evaluation in research and science true false true Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Neznano 2026-03-09 13:33:04 2026-03-09 13:33:05 2026-03-10 03:52:36 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 Ljubljana 0 Str. 385-411 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 001.89(497.4) 10.69070/2026_16 270979075 264592387 15.-Mitja-Zagar-O-pristopih-in-metodologiji-RAZNOLIKOST-IV.pdf 15.-Mitja-Zagar-O-pristopih-in-metodologiji-RAZNOLIKOST-IV.pdf 1 F42B075F873050EC784FDE184BC498A4 cf96b495d5dde29493efa79a8737a51426492c3f9f111f8c913b98479d84775c 210aebe8-1bb4-11f1-b779-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=41468 https://inv.si/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/15.-Mitja-Zagar-O-pristopih-in-metodologiji-RAZNOLIKOST-IV.pdf 0 37aed8a5-1bb4-11f1-b779-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=41469 Inštitut za narodnostna vprašanja 0 0 0
