“…In a broad defi nition, an employee with high impactfulness of publications is one that publishes a lot and in prestigious journals. University management should, thus, be interested in which factors are correlated with the high impact of a researcher's scholarly work, which in turn is profi table for the university (Jeran, Kącka & Piechowiak-Lamparska, 2017). Every employee, aft er all, can be described in terms of family situation, age and gender.…”

In a dynamically developing scientifi c environment, there is a tendency toward creating mechanisms that objectively evaluate the output of individual scientifi c units. Selected indicators can be applied, inter alia, to work out specifi c criteria for awarding funds for scientifi c research activities. One of the most important indicators used is the impact of researchers' publications, which today determines the overall outcome of the evaluation of a research unit. Th e key question in this context is whether any socio-demographic factors are correlated with the impact of the scholarship work of individual researchers and, if yes, what those indicators are, specifi cally. Th e purpose of this study was to determine the existence and, if confi rmed, the nature of correlation between the impact of researchers' publications and selected socio-demographic factors such as: age, gender and family status. Th e study sample included all the academic employees of the Faculty of Political Sciences and International Studies, Nicolaus Copernicus University, in Toruń (Poland). Th e results demonstrated that the socio-demographic factors considered showed little correlation with publications' impactfulness as measured in the Polish evaluation system of research units.

“…Th e topics covered as part of this broad discussion range from the discussion of existing evaluation systems and implementations of various models in diff erent countries (Bloch & Schneider, 2016; Katarzyna Kącka, Bartłomiej Michalak, Joanna Piechowiak-Lamparska Poland Hicks, 2012) to research on identifying the most eff ective and impactful publication models. Scholars' attitudes toward the evaluation process and its impact on their later careers are also subject to analysis (Rousseau & Rousseau, 2017;Jeran, Kącka & Piechowiak-Lamparska, 2017;Kącka, Michalak & Piechowiak-Lamparska, 2018). Researchers also quite keenly turn to the topic of (broadly understood) scientifi c performance indicators in attempts to defi ne their role in the process of the evaluation of scientifi c research in selected countries (Fukuzawa, 2017;Prathap, 2017).…”

Eff ectiveness in publishing is currently the most important criterion in the process of the evaluation of scientifi c and research units in Poland. In the national evaluations system for such units, this criterion has the largest relative impact on their fi nal assessment and rating, on the basis of which, in turn, fi nancial resources are allocated. Th e key question in this context was what factors are correlated with publication eff ectiveness of employees in the domain of science? Th e aim of the analysis was to determine correlations between selected factors such as an employee's academic title and position in a scientifi c unit's hierarchy or their teaching load and their scientifi c eff ectiveness as measured by publications. Th e study was conducted on the entire staff population of the Faculty of Political Sciences and International Studies at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. As a result, it was found that the selected factors only to a marginal degree were correlated with publication eff ectiveness in the group studied.
