Quantitative analysis of the citation rate of the scientific papers from the Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health in Zagreb

Proučavana je citiranost radova znanstvenih radnika Instituta za medicinska istraživanja i medicinu rada u Zagrebu objavljenih od 1948. do 1977. godine. Kao vrelo za praćenje citiranja uporabljen je Science Citation Index (1960 ... 1977. god.). Pošto je razmotrena raspodjela učestalosti citata, Izdvojeni su radovi koji su bili citirani pet ili više puta (od neovisnih autora). Na osnovi ranije objavljenoga holističkog modela taj je uzorak od 41 rada kvantitativno analiziran s više aspekata: utvrđen je doprinos suradnje s drugima, inozemnim i domaćim, znanstvenim ustanovama u nastanku tih radova, a također su identificirani smjerovi djelatnosti i istraživačke skupine čije su znanstvene informacije imale najveću prometnu vrijednost.The citation rate of the scientific papers published by the members of the Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health in Zagreb in the 1948-1977 period was examined by means of the Science Citation Index. Distribution of citation frequency was analysed and the papers which received ≥ 5 citations were quantitatively assessed by means of a previously developed holistic model. The contribution of the authors from other research institutions in the country and abroad was estimated. The fields of research and research groups which produced scientific information with the highest impact were identified
