Scientific article is a published description of original (new) findings of a research.
Professional article discuses already known and published knowledge and focuses on its dissemination or application.
Review article synthesizes, summarizes, analyzes and evaluate published works on a specific topic. By organizing, integrating and evaluating previously published material, the author of a review article considers the progress of current research toward clarifying a problem. Review articles range from entirely descriptive to highly evaluative.

On the contrary! Having published your work within the archive of Croatian scientific bibliography (or some other bibliography), you protect your copyright in the best possible way (from the date of its publishing in the bibliography). In this way many preprint archives such as ArXiv and others work for decades. If you publish your work in one of such archives, you remain one and only author of that work (as opposed to the situation when you publish your work in a journal and relinquish your rights to the editor), and all the possible plagiarisms become far more visible and less likely to happen. At the same time you have the opportunity to immediately publish your work in situations when reviewers are, from whatever reasons, slow in their review process.

It is quite common that publishers require that authors relinquish to them all the rights on intellectual property of their article, thus making the publishers the only owners of the published article. Intellectual property over an article can be given to publishers only by author's signature. Therefore, if you have not signed the transition of your copyright over to your publisher, there is no legal obstacle to publish your work in CROSBI archive. Even if you had relinquished your rights to the publisher, there is no obstacle to publish in CROSBI the version of your paper before corrections and comments of the reviewers. Lately, publishers have become more open to the idea of self-archiving, open archiving, etc. since the increased accessibility increases the visibility of their journal and its impact within the scientific community. Archiving in open national, institutional, personal and other archives has thus become the usual practice. More on this can be found at:

Scientists are automatically attached only to those works that could, beyond any doubt and according to data from the Author field, be attached to a certain scientist. Works cannot be attached to a name if: there are two or more people with the same first and last name, the author's name is abbreviated to an initial, author has a middle name (initial), author has a multi-part last name, there is a discrepancy in the author's name listed in CROSBI and the data base of the Ministry of Science, Education and Sport (MSES), and the author is wrongly attached to the work. If there is a difference between the number of your works retrieved by Search module, and the number of works found by Browse/Active scientists, that indicates that a certain number of your works is not attached to your id number. In that case, please follow these instructions and attach the works manually:

1. Go to Basic Search and search for Perić, Pero
2. Computer retrieves all your works, including those of your double (in case there is one)
3. Click your first work and look for the Correction button at the end of the result list
4. After the work's title is placed in the command line (as during Input), click on Data Preview button. This takes you to another screen at the end of which are listed all the scientists and their id numbers computer recognized among the author database.
5. Choose the correct id numbers for yourself and your co-authors and confirm (click) that the data are correct; close the window and return to the result list. Click the second work on the list...
6. Your name will immediately appear at the list of Active scientists with the number of works you attached to it.

"Participation in conferences".

It is easy. Just use the following syntax in the link:
http://bib.irb.hr/lista-radova?autor=184605.
Number 184605 is your scientific id number.

Use the following syntax in the link:
http://bib.irb.hr/lista-radova?sif_ust=54
http://bib.irb.hr/lista-radova?sif_ust=54&period=2007 (for period from 2007-onwards)
54 is a code of the institution.

It is easy. Just use the following syntax in the link:
(projects 2002-..)
http://bib.irb.hr/lista-radova?sif_proj=0020003
http://bib.irb.hr/lista-radova?sif_proj=0035013
(projects 1996-2002)
http://bib.irb.hr/lista-radova?sif_teme=00350109
http://bib.irb.hr/lista-radova?sif_proj=011007
numbers in the link are project code numbers.

It is easy. Just use the following syntax in the link:
http://bib.irb.hr/lista-radova?sif_znan=1.02 (for scientific area of physics)
http://bib.irb.hr/lista-radova?sif_znan=1-02 (for evaluation group physics).

Even though the proceedings often have the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) that is a characteristic of monographs, it is rarely advisable to enter the proceedings under the book category within Croatian scientific bibliography. It is allowed in only exceptional cases, e.g. when an editor (or editors) has invested a great effort into collecting and editing the material from a conference (in that case, ISBN is mandatory!) he/she can put him/herself as an editor - in that case, authors are all the presenters from the conference and they are not listed!

A huge one! All the articles from the proceedings should be entered as such. Even if the proceedings has ISBN the article printed in it belongs to the group Participation in conferences, and not The article or chapter in a book!

The answer to this question depends on the quality and scope of the article itself. It is a common practice that proceedings get published within a journal, either as a supplement/ special issue, or as a regular issue, or even as the whole volume. In case of only abstracts, they cannot be entered as Journal article, because an abstract is not an article. But, in case of a complete article (and not its abbreviated version), that had passed the review process, the author has the right to enter the article under the category Journal article.

All the data regarding researchers, projects, and institutions are given to us primarily from the Ministry of Science, Education and Sport and cannot be corrected by us. In case necessary corrections, please contact the Ministry, and CROSBI will have the correct version after the next update.

Quarterly.

In case you want to enter corrections to a "locked" work, you should send an e-mail to help@bib.irb.hr with a number of the work you need to be unlocked.

Within the Law on scientific and research activity there is a Book of Regulations on evaluation measures of journals and publications with internationally acknowledged review, as well as journals and publications that are in quality equal with them (Narodne novine 2/97), which regulates the status of each publication that in turn, has to fulfill some basic requirements, such as:

• must be reviewed by at least two internationally recognized experts
• they have to be catalogued according to international standards (ISBN and ISSN).

This regulates the status of a number of journals within technical, biotechnical, social and humanistic disciplines. Natural and biomedical sciences have not, so far, got a list of publications regulated in that way.
COMMENT: Book of Regulations was cancelled 18th April, 2002.

Yes. At the bottom of the "Browse" page there is the option to search according to the project code number. The "hidden" feature of that field is the possibility to put there several project code numbers, divide them by a comma and you will get the desired result.

"Comment" field is added into bibliographic description form.

A volume is a set of numbers (issues) of a periodical (journal) together forming a whole. The number of issues in a volume depends on the frequency of their publishing, the scope of material etc.
Pagination can be continuous through the whole volume, or each issue can have its own pagination.
Sometimes, a volume covers a publishing year, but there are journals that have dozens of volumes per year.
In croatian broj or sveščić, in english issue, is usually a part of a volume of a journal. That's a physical unit of a periodical that is published separately and periodically, sometimes as two, three or four issues bound together and it is subordinate to a volume.

The issue information can be found on the journal cover, but it can also be checked in online catalogues and databases. For example, if you are looking at the CC paper, all the data can be found in CC database (accessible for the whole Croatian academic and scientific community at http://baze.szi.hr/), and the look like this: volume (issue):pages, year e.g. 12 (23): 1234-1256, 1996.
In case of Croatian journals, data on articles can be found in the online catalogue of the National and University Library in Zagreb (http://www.nsk.hr/), and they have the following form: volume(year), issue ; pages e.g. 12 (1996), 23 ; 1234-1256. (12=volume; 23=issue).
