Sažetak
Purpose. The paper analyzes the scientific journal dealing with journalism and media Medijska istraživanja/Media Research during the two decades it has been published (1995-2015). The purpose of this paper is to present the development of the journal during the twenty-one years of publication and the influence of the journal on the scientific community by showing the results of certain bibliometric indicators. Methodology.The research sample included all published issues of the journal in the period from 1995 to 2015 with a total of 276 papers, which were subjected to bibliometric analysis. The paper analyzes the development of the journal over the researched period focusing on categories such as publication dynamics, language, contributing authors, as well as presence and citation in many international abstract and citation databases.
Findings. The results of the analysis have shown that, for the most part, the original
scientific papers (46%) have been published in the journal. The authors of the papers
published in the journal Medijska istraživanja/Media Research, come mostly from Croatia (59.7%) or the countries in the region (Croatia and other countries of the fomer Yugoslavia). Furthermore, the analysis have shown that out of 60.3% categorized
articles written by several authors at least one of the authors comes from Croatia,
and out of 20.6% categorized works by more than one author, at least one author
comes from the region. These data reveal a strong national or regional orientation of
the journal, which can be attributed to the language of publication, which is mostly
Croatian (60.5%).
The analysis has shown that the largest number of articles were original scientific papers (46%), followed by professional papers (18.5%), scientific review papers (14.9%), conference papers (12.3%), preliminary reports (6.2%), retained articles (1.1%), and translated works (1.1%). The language of the published articles is most often Croatian (60.5%). The authors are mostly Croatian (59.8%) and they come mainly from the higher education institutions, foreign (35.2%) and domestic (33.2%). The journal citation analysis was conducted on data from the references cited in the Clarivate Analytics (the Thomson Reuters until 2016) citation collection Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), which also allows checking the citations of those journals that are not represented in the citation indexes WoSCC and the citation data of the works indexed in bibliographic and citation database Scopus. The research was focused on the number and type of citations the papers published in the journal Medijska istraživanja/Media Research have received. The analysis of the references cited in WoSCC has shown the total amount of the quoted data units and the names, i.e. the origin (countires) of the journals in which the works from the
journal Medijska istraživanja/Media Research were quoted. The results have shown
that 52 papers from Medijska istraživanja/Media Research received 89 quotations
in July 2016, and the calculated h-index was 4. The citation analysis of the indexed
papers from 2011 to 2015 in Scopus showed that out of the 71 indexed works, 16
of them were cited, with the total of 29 citations and the h-index 3 as the records
for July 2016 show.
Value. The results of this study could serve as guidelines for the future development
of the journal.
