Przedmiotem opracowania jest dorobek naukowy i popularyzatorski Walerego Pisarka powstały w latach 1951–2017. Studium ma charakter selekcyjny i obejmuje analizę czterech typów wypowiedzi: publikacji naukowych, recenzji, kronik oraz artykułów popularnonaukowych. W odniesieniu do pierwszej grupy (prac naukowych) dążono do kompletności; poddano zatem analizie wszystkie oryginalne prace badawcze (monografie, raporty, artykuły, rozdziały). Wobec pozostałych typów wypowiedzi (recenzje, kroniki, wypowiedzi popularnonaukowe) zastosowano selekcję; ujęto tylko publikacje o trwalej wartości. Łącznie dorobek Walerego Pisarka liczył 790 pozycji i składał się z 320 oryginalnych rozpraw naukowych, 245 recenzji, sprawozdań i kronik oraz przeszło 225 tekstów popularnonaukowych. Publikacje naukowe przedstawiono w rozmaitych przekrojach. Zbadano m.in. ich dynamikę, geografię wydawniczą oraz tematykę. Uzupełnieniem omówienia jest analiza cytowań, do której wykorzystano dane zaczerpnięte z Google Scholar (155 prac, 1499 referencji). Osobno przeanalizowano dorobek popularyzatorski, przedstawiając m.in. jego dynamikę oraz analizę źródeł publikacji.
