“…A second group of works concerns the study of the determinants of performance, particularly the personal and contextual variables that can make a researcher a top scientist (Costas et al, 2012;Abramo et al, 2011b;Abramo et al, 2009b). Finally, a third group of works concerns analysis of the role that top scientists have or should have within their institutional contexts (Prpic, 2011;Silversides, 2010;Ioannidis, 2010;Goodall, 2006).…”

a b s t r a c tEver more frequently, governments have decided to implement policy measures intended to foster and reward excellence in scientific research. This is in fact the intended purpose of national research assessment exercises. These are typically based on the analysis of the quality of the best research products; however, a different approach to analysis and intervention is based on the measure of productivity of the individual scientists, meaning the overall impact of their entire scientific production over the period under observation. This work analyzes the convergence of the two approaches, asking if and to what measure the most productive scientists achieve highly cited articles; or vice versa, what share of highly cited articles is achieved by scientists that are "non-top" for productivity. To do this we use bibliometric indicators, applied to the 2004-2008 publications authored by academics of Italian universities and indexed in the Web of Science.

“…In general, citizen science involves the public in a large number of projects, for example by providing an opportunity to help with data collection and data processing, or to participate in decision-making regarding the research process (Bonney et al 2016). All these types of involvement do not focus only on the general public, but various types of stakeholders including citizen organizations and politicians (Alender 2016;Prpic 2011).…”

Nowadays, the prevailing trend in the science-society relationship is to engage with the broader public, which is beneficial for the public, scientific institutes, scientific findings, and the legitimacy of science as a whole. This article provides a broad review of the rapidly growing research on Open Science and identifies the gaps in the current knowledge for future research. The review focuses on the science-society relationship, such that knowledge from this field is summarised and systematised. Insight into the most salient topics, including science communication, public engagement with science, public cognition of science, and challenges and potential unintended consequences connected to interactions with the public are examined. The first section of the paper focuses on science communication which involves efforts and approaches to inform the public about science by the most effective means. The section on public engagement reviews how scientists and scientific institutions are increasingly involved in direct interactions with the public and different groups of stakeholders to make science more open. The section focusing on public cognition of science provides information about public knowledge, perception, and trust regarding science, which both determines and is formed by public engagement. Last, risks, ethical issues, and data issues connected to the implementation of Open Science principles are reviewed, as there are many unintended consequences of Open Science which are examined by this current research. In conclusion, research covering the science-society relationship is rapidly growing. However, it brings multiple challenges as well as opportunities which are captured and discussed in a variety of existing studies. This article provides a coherent overview of this field in order to bring more comprehensible knowledge to scientists, scientific institutions, and outreach professionals.

“…2 Na takvoj empirijskoj podlozi obrađene su i proanalizirane percepcije znanosti svih ispitanih (pod)kultura. Pritom se pokušalo utvrditi kako i na koji način različito hrvatski građani i hrvatske društvene elite percipiraju socijalne učinke znanosti, ali i spoznajne mogućnosti i ograničenja samoga znanstvenog pristupa (Prpić, 2005(Prpić, ., 2007(Prpić, ., 2010Golub, 2009.).…”
