Summary: This research examines the communication pattern of a
selected group of Croatian scientists in the field of biomedicine related
to citing articles published in domestic sources. It studies a possible
difference in attitude of Croatian scientists toward domestic and
international journals. The research included as analysis of references and
a survey of authors. Using 1988 and 1989 Science Citation Index on compact
disc, as well as a sample of domestic journals and domestic journals
covered by Science Citation Index, we identified papers by Croatian authors
and confirmed that the same authors apply different criteria in citing
relevant literature, depending on the type (domestic or foreign) of the
journal in which they are to publish their paper. Domestic literature is
cited four times less often in foreign than in domestic journals, so there
is a complete absence of national bias in citing earlier literature by the
same authors. The relationship between citation behavior and place of
publication could be related to the general
approach of Croatian biomedical authors to domestic and international
journals, and could be indicative of a poor quality of scientific papers
published in domestic journals..
