Polish press at the beginning of the partition era (1795-1815) as an object of historical reflection
This article briefly describes the Polish press from the years 1795–1815 and discusses the trends and results of research carried out in this field by historians after 1945. The citation analysis was widely used to evaluate the research achievements. Researchers showed little interest in the press of that time. Only 49 scholars in total worked in this area and they published 61 works cited 118 times within the parent discourse (history of the press) [including 42 times below the half-life period]. Kazimierz Ossowski (5 works) [8 citations] and Marian Kallas (6 works) [7 citations] could boast the greatest achievements in this field. The works published by Tadeusz Łepkowski [10] and Jerzy Łojek [3] also deserve attention. The greatest achievement in the analyzed area is a monograph by K. Ossowski "Prasa Księstwa Warszawskiego” (Warsaw, 2004). Other topics received much less attention. One also lacks synthetic analyses for the period 1796–1806 and monographs of the then leading newspapers, especially "Gazeta Warszawska” and "Gazeta Korespondenta Warszawskiego i Zagranicznego”.
