Abstract
Empirical research carried out on a representative sample of 921 scien tists from Croatia has shown that scientific fields are important soci o-cognitive productivity framework. First, this can be seen in signifi cantly different patterns of the average scientific productivity of re searchers in different fields. Second, significant are the differences in the social organization of scientific fields, especially in the fr agmentation and organization of the research process, which manifest t hemselves with a different engagement intensity of the respondents in each stage of the project. Finally, scientific productivity predictors are structured, ranging from significant ones in some fields, to thos e significant everywhere (qualifications and project roles).
