PROBLÉMY SÚČASNEJ SLOVENSKEJ GEOGRAFIE A MOŽNÉ RIEŠENIA
Journal Title: FOLIA GEOGRAPHICA - Year 2006, Vol 44, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper summarizes current problems in Slovak geography. The political changes and societal transformation after 1989 have had a profound influence on the position of geography in Slovakia. In the period before 1989, Slovak geography was predominatly oriented toward geography conducted in a former Soviet block of countries with similar research topics and levels of scientific research. However, the transformation processes in the Slovak science have pushed the scientific evaluation criteria toward international cooperation, publications and citations in foreign journals (especially listed in the Current Contents journal). Clearly, in many aspects the position of Slovak geography has weaken. Solutions and possible improvements can be found in deeper systemic changes at organizational level of geographic research and higher education of geography at universities.
