Abstract
Using the basic bibliometric indicators, this paper analyzes the articles published in the Journal Polimeri. The sample consisted of 646 categorized articles published in a thirty-year period, from 1980 when the 1st Volume was published, until 2009 when the 30th Volume was published. The analysis has shown that the most common articles were professional papers (40.7%) while the fewest papers were categorized as preliminary communications (4.5%). Most articles were written in the Croatian language (87%) and this indicates a strong regional orientation
of the Journal. The analysed articles contain 10,786 references in total, an average of 16.7 references per paper. Also, the Journal Polimeri has been analysed regarding the data in the bibliographic database Scopus, where more than 800 articles published in the Journal Polymeri have been indexed, from 1980 to 2009. These articles are cited in the range from zero to eight citations.
