Objavljivanje u otvorenom pristupu (OA, od engl. open access) danas je prevladavajući oblik komunikacije znanstvenih rezultata. Prema rezultatima ranijih istraživanja udio OA u ukupnom broju ...međunarodno vidljivih radova hrvatskih autora iznosi 74%. Početkom 2023. godine provedena je anketa među korisnicima liste znanstvenici.hr da bi se ispitali stavovi i praksa hrvatskih autora u svezi s OA. Anketa je imala cilj sagledati razinu podrške objavljivanju u OA, prepoznavanje pozitivnih i negativnih aspekata, motivaciju za objavljivanje u OA, izvore financiranja te razloge sklonosti određenim OA izdavačima. Prikupljeno je 763 potpuno ispunjenih upitnika. Analiza rezultata pokazala je da 75% ispitanika podržava objavljivanje u OA te prepoznaje prednosti koje to donosi znanstvenom istraživanju i obrazovnom procesu. Više od 80% ispitanika slaže se da OA doprinosi bržoj distribuciji novih spoznaja te da radovi objavljeni u OA imaju veće čitateljstvo i vidljivost. S druge strane, gotovo trećina ispitanika smatra da OA povećava komercijalizaciju znanstvenog izdavaštva te da rastući broj objava smanjuje kvalitetu recenzentskog postupka. Kad je u pitanju odabir časopisa za objavljivanje, većini ispitanika kojima znanstveni časopisi predstavljaju najvažniji kanal komunikacije važniji su ugled časopisa i odjek u znanstvenoj zajednici nego otvoren pristup. Praksa OA časopisa koji objavljuju isključivo uz naplatu troškova objave izaziva najviše razilaženja u stavovima. Ispitanici s pozitivnim stavom objavljuju u takvim OA časopisima, poglavito zbog brzine recenziranja i objave. S druge strane, oni s negativnim stavom smatraju da je izdavačima OA časopisa koji naplaćuju objavu važnija zarada od kvalitete objavljenih članaka, navode da nemaju sredstva za plaćanje troškova objave ili ih ne žele plaćati jer se protive preprekama koje se postavljaju objavljivanju znanstvenih rezultata.
Među izdavačima koji isključivo izdaju časopise u otvorenom pristupu uz naplatu troškova objave najveći broj članaka objavljuje MDPI. Propulzivna poslovna politika ovog izdavača predmet je polemika ...na međunarodnoj razini, no broj radova koje objavljuju i koji su indeksirani u međunarodnim bibliografskim bazama nezaustavljivo raste. Tijekom 2021. godine u časopisima MDPI-ja objavljena je petina svih radova hrvatskih autora u časopisima indeksiranim u kolekciji WoSCC, odnosno trećina ukupno objavljenih radova u otvorenom pristupu. Prema dostupnim podatcima, više od 40 % tih radova proizašlo je iz projekata koje financiraju hrvatske ustanove, ali podatci o izvorima financiranja troškova objave nisu javno dostupni. Transparentni prikaz troškova i izvora financiranja objave radova koji bi se mogao osigurati putem nacionalne znanstvene bibliografije CROSBI bio bi koristan u planiranju aktivnosti nacionalnih financijskih tijela, ali i za uspješniju suradnju s izdavačima.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the existing Croatian research information infrastructure and to outline a new model of the Croatian Current Research Information System (CroRIS), required for ...the systematical monitoring and evaluation of the research processes and output of the Croatian public research and higher education institutions, as well as for the increasing of their international visibility. Based on the results of the analysis of the existing research information infrastructure in Croatia, the general outline of the new CERIF-based CroRIS model is proposed. The analysis of the existing research information infrastructure showed that there are some functional parts which could be reused and/or used as a basis for the implementation of the proposed CroRIS model. The proposed model represents a concept which would allow a quality decision and science-policy making in Croatia.
In September 2018, Science Europe (https://www.scienceeurope.org/) launched the cOalition S initiative for increasing open access (OA) to research data and publications derived from publicly funded ...research projects. The
backbone of the initiative is Plan S, with one main goal:
“With effect from 2021, all scholarly publications on the results from research funded by public or private grants provided by national, regional and international research councils
and funding bodies, must be published in Open Access Journals, on Open Access Platforms, or made immediately available through Open Access Repositories without embargo” (1).
Whichever of these three routes is taken, “all publications
must be published under an open license, preferably the Creative Commons Attribution license (CC BY), in order to fulfill
the requirements defined by the Berlin Declaration.” Plan S
defines OA platforms as publishing outlets for original research publications (such as Wellcome Open Research or
Open Research Europe, which will soon be launched by
the European Commission), and not those that are serving to aggregate or re-publish content already being
published elsewhere. It recognizes the importance of the
green route to OA and strongly encourages the deposition of all publications in a repository, irrespective of the
chosen route. Plan S recommends not to support hybrid
journals in their current form. Instead, it encourages various transformative agreements with publishers of subscription journals for their transition to fully OA journals by
gradual increment of their OA content and by offsetting
subscription income from payments for publishing services to avoid double payments (2). For example, the ESAC
Transformative Agreement Registry has compiled a list of
more than 160 transformative agreements signed all over
the world between large scientific publishers and consortia/institutions (3).

This case study analyses data on papers of Croatian authors published in 2017 from four Web of Science Core Collection citation indexes (SCI‐EXP, SSCI, AHCI, and ESCI). The primary dataset (5,176 ...articles and reviews) was divided into two subsets, the open access (OA) subset (2,964 papers) and non‐OA subset (2,212 papers). We also used the primary dataset to create a subset of papers published in Croatian journals (1,588) as opposed to foreign ones. All were screened for full‐text OA status, journal JCR quartile ranking, journal dominant discipline, and language of publication. OA papers prevailed with 74.4%. Most were available at publisher websites. The percentage of OA papers in Croatian journals was 99.8%. The share of OA papers was the highest in the humanities and social sciences, which also saw the highest share of papers in the Croatian language.
Key points
Three quarters of papers published by Croatian authors are available in open access (OA).
Most papers are in English, even in Croatian journals; Croatian prevailed only in the humanities.
Croatian journals are mostly non‐commercial, and many receive government subsidies, provided they are OA; they generally do not charge for article processing.
The prevalence of OA over non‐OA papers is the highest in the humanities, followed by the social sciences.
Open access publishing might increase international visibility of journals from periphery or semi‐periphery countries.
The paper presents an online application for interlibrary loan service SEND 2.0. The application is based on the open source technology and was developed by the Ruder Boskovic Institute Library in ...Zagreb. It is freely available to Croatian academic libraries and their users. The authentication and authorization of users are enabled through their AAI@EduHr accounts (the unique user identifier for academic community), but there is also a possibility for a special registration for other libraries that wish to join
This article provides an overview of national bibliographic databases that include data on research output within social sciences and humanities (SSH) in Europe. We focus on the comprehensiveness of ...the database content. Compared to the data from commercial databases such as Web of Science and Scopus, data from national bibliographic databases (e.g. Flemish Academic Bibliographic Database for the SSH (VABB-SHW) in Belgium, Current Research Information System in Norway (CRISTIN)) are more comprehensive and may, therefore, be better fit for bibliometric analyses. Acknowledging this, several countries within Europe maintain national bibliographic databases; detailed and comparative information about their content, however, has been limited. In autumn 2016, we launched a survey to acquire an overview of national bibliographic databases for SSH in Europe and Israel. Surveying 41 countries (responses received from 39 countries), we identified 21 national bibliographic databases for SSH. Further, we acquired a more detailed description of 13 databases, with a focus on their comprehensiveness. Findings indicate that even though the content of national bibliographic databases is diverse, it is possible to delineate a subset that is similar across databases. At the same time, it is apparent that differences in national bibliographic databases are often bound to differences in country-specific arrangements. Considering this, we highlight implications to bibliometric analyses based on data from national bibliographic databases and outline several aspects that may be taken into account in the development of existing national bibliographic databases for SSH or the design of new ones.
