The number of publisher’s sheets is necessary to rate a publication to the scholarly and creative achievements of a given research unit.
Basing on the number of sheets, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education awards a certain number of score points (Regulation of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of 27 October 2015 on criteria and procedures for awarding scholarly categories to the research units):
Document type | Number of sheets | Score |
monograph (to 3 authors) | min. 6 | 25 lub 50* |
monograph (more than 4 authors) | min. 6 | 15 lub 30* |
chapter in a monograph | min. 0,5 | 5 lub 10* |
entries in encyclopedic and dictionary publications | min. 0,25 | 5 |
* if the monograph is particularly outstanding
