Basic Overview of Croatian Research

CROATIA: PUBLICATION OUTPUTOverall output Percentage of papers cited

Source: National Science Indicators, 1981-2007 – Deluxe version

There has been a steady publication growth in Croatia in the last couple of years.

Almost 50% of Croatian papers are cited.

CROATIA: CITATION IMPACTOverall impact Impact relative to average

Average citation rate or impact for Croatia has also grown quickly.

This is a relative illustration, meaning that 1 is the baseline where the country average = the world average. Croatia is marching to meet the world

average rates.
