Abstract
In the previous research data were published on doctors of
science in Croatia who did not publish in the period from 1991
to 1996 a single text in publications registered by the non-
-selective bibliographical data base of the National and University
Library in Zagreb (BDBNUL) (A. Jovi~i} et al., 1999, Društvena
istra`ivanja 8 (4): 513-527). The purpose of this research was to
determine the characteristics of productive doctors of science:
their distribution according to scientific fields, age and scientific
titles. Taken into consideration were those doctors of science who
in the period from 1991 to 1998 published at least one text
registered in the BDBNUL. In all six scientific fields there were
altogether 6504 doctors of science out of which 5443 (83.7%)
published at least one text, whereas the average number of
published texts was 11.5. The highest number of doctors of
science was registered in the Socio-Humanistic field, then in the
field of Medical, Natural Sciences, Technical and finally Biotechnical
Sciences. In the overall population of productive doctors of science the greatest number was between 49 and 58 years of
age, while the most productive were aged 53 to 63. The doctors
of science who published most held the titles of research fellows
and research associates. Most texts were published in 1995,
1996 and 1997. It is concluded that the data mentioned can
represent a basis for further comparisons and horizontal research
of scientific productivity of doctors of science in Croatia.
