Information Sciences in Croatia: A View from the Perspective of Bibliometric Analysis of two Leading Journals

From the very beginings of publication Vjesnik bibliotekara Hrvatske (Croatian Librarian’s Herald) and Informatologija (Informatology) took the role of the main channels for the transfer and dissemination of information and knowledge in the field of information sciences1 in Croatia. The primary driver for the journal originators, editors and authors continues to be the transfer and dissemination of knowledge and information within professional community whose academic and scientific status was not officially recognized until the 1960s and the late 1970s. Due to mentioned reasons along with their pioneering role, the contribution of two journals is even more significant. Therefore, we will follow the process of profiling in the work of two journals based on the course of their publishing of scientific and professional articles. By analyzing the themes of the articles we will also try to unravel the main concerns and interests of local professionals, as well as examine the length of their “common denominator” in the area’s subdisciplines. The overall goal is to gain a (better) insight into the degree of development in the field and to examine points of convergence between the theory and practice of Information Sciences.
