Abstract
The state of scientific activity in the field of natural sciences in Croatia from 1991 to 2005 was established using scientometric analysis of 8436 scientific papers published in natural sciences journals indexed in WoS-SCI Expanded database in the observed period. The characteristics of scientific productivity and scientific impact were analysed and interpreted, as well as the trends in co-authorship and international collaboration. Based on the specificities of scientific publishing in various natural sciences disciplines determined by this research, a need to redefine the use of scientometric indicators in the system of evaluating scientific performance in the field of natural sciences is pointed out.
