Sažetak
The goal of this paper was to provide a diachronic survey of the language of sources cited in the journal Kineziologija/Kinesiology from 1971 to 2010. Also, interactions were sought between various variables regarding various aspects of article publication – publication year, language of sources cited, number of sources cited, author’s country of origin and gender. The population was comprised of 760 articles published in the journal Kineziologija/Kinesiology throughout forty years of its publication. Results of the analyses were expressed in frequencies and by interaction plots of the analysed variables. The allocation of the total number of sources cited showed that the largest number of papers cited between 10 and 19 sources. The highest average number of sources cited per paper was in English, followed by the average number of sources in Croatian. The number of all sources cited per article significantly increased in the last decade of the journal’s publication as did the number of sources in the English language. Most papers were authored by researchers from the Slavic language-speaking countries. The number of non-English sources used by the authors from Slavic language-speaking countries was larger than the number of non-English sources used by the authors from countries in which languages other than English, German, Romance and Slavic languages are spoken. Most of the 760 papers were written by men, followed by the number of papers written in coauthorship of men and women. The number of papers written exclusively by women was the lowest. This type of analysis could be regarded not only as a mirror of the journal’s development, but also as a mirror of the development of a society.
