Abstract
Investigating the question of scientific via organizational renewal, this article adds an original perspective to the study of public research systems in Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs). Though previous studies have focused predominantly on policy, this article explores organizational structures that affect the performance of public research organizations (PROs) in a post-socialist setting. After assessing the performance of the Polish Academy of Sciences in terms of both research output and portfolio using bibliometric data, the article explores organizational factors linked to the generation of new scientific knowledge. Through this in-depth analysis, links between the specific historical context of post-socialist Poland and the Academy’s ability to conduct novel scientific research are uncovered.
