BIOMEDICINSKA LITERATURA PUBLIKOVANA U VOJVODINI I NJEN UTICAJ NAISTRAZIVACE U JUGOSLAVIJI I SVETU

THE IMPACT OF BIOMEDICAL LITERATURE PUBLISHED IN THE PROVINCE OF VOJVODINA ONRESEARCHERS IN THE WORLD AND IN YUGOSLAVIA

Silvija BRKICSafetak - U ovom istrazivanju je bibliometrijskim metodama uradeno vrednovanje naucnih radova u Vojvodini i odredenje njihovuticaj na istrazivace u Jugoslavijii svetu. Uzorak je sacinjavao informacioni masiv od 6979 radova publikovanih na teritoriji Voj­vodine u periodu 1986-1997. godine. Odredena je produktivnost autora i institucija u kojima su zaposleni autori, kao i drugi bib­liometrijski parametri. Na osnovu citatne analize tih radova u 3 najpoznatija medicinska casopisa u Jugoslavijii, sa 3440 radova i58.484 referenci, i u Science Citation Indexu, za isti period, ispitivan je uticaj tih radova na druge istrazivace, Rezultati is­trazivanja pokazuju da je produkcija biomedicinske literature na teritoriji Vojvodine na visokom nivou. Zastupljenost biomedicin­skih radova objavljenih u vojvodanskim casopisima, koji su nosioci tekucih informacija i najnovijih dostignuca nauke, tehnike iprakse u biomedicini, zadovoljavajuca je. Kod biomedicinskih radova publikovanih u Vojvodini registrovana je tendencija pove­canja broja autora, a najveci deo publikovanih radova pripada malom, ali veoma produktivnom broju autora i institucija. U bio­medicinskim radovima u Jugoslaviji se, u veoma visokom procentu, navodi sarno strana literatura, a ukoliko se citira domaca, stari­jeg je datuma i najcesce su to autocitati. Uticaj radova objavljenih u Vojvodini na istrazivace u Jugoslaviji je prisutan, ali,uglavnom, na teritoriji gde su radovi i objavljeni. Od vojvodanskih biomedicinskih casopisa, Medicinski pregled je najcitiraniji uJugoslaviji i u Science Citation Indexu. Malom broju citiranih autora pripada vecina citata. Medicinska nauka i praksa u Vojvodininema uticaj na medunarodne naucne tokove. Uticaj radova objavljenih u Vojvodini na istrazivace u svetu je zanemarljiv. U ScienceCitation Indexu je citirano: 0,4 radova objavljenih u Vojvodini, 0,87% radova iz vojvodanskih casopisa i 0,59% autora.Kljucne reci: Istrazivanje + statistika i brojcani podaci; Medicina; Publikacije; Bibliometrija; Casopisi; Evaluacione studije

Summary - This study uses bibliometric analysis to evaluate scientific biomedical literature published on the territory of Voj­vodina and its impact on researchers in Yugoslavia and in the world. The study sample comprised 6.979 publications from the ter­ritory ofVojvodina published in the period 1986-1997. Thefollowing parameters were determined: productivity ofauthors and in­stitutions where they were employed and some other bibliometric parameters. The impact ofthese publications on other researcheswas analyzed for the same period, by citation analysis ofpapers published in 3 most eminent medical journals in Yugoslavia(3.440 articles, 58.484 references) and in Science Citation Index. Results of the study revealed that production ofbiomedical lit­erature on the territory ofVojvodina was at high level. Medical research presented in journals ofVojvodina, which are the carri­ers of current information and accomplishments in science, technique, and practice in biomedicine, was satisfactory. Biomedicalarticles published in Vojvodina showed a tendency towards increase in number ofauthors, whereas the greatest number ofpubli­cations were written by a small number of extremely productive authors and institutions. Biomedical researches in Yugoslaviausually cite only foreign literature, while domestic references are mostly self-citations or citations ofolder literature. The impactofpublications published in Vojvodina on other researchers in Yugoslavia is evident, but it is greatest on the territory where theyare published. In regard to biomedical journals from Vojvodina "Medical review" is the most cited journal in Yugoslavia and inSCI. Most of the cited references belong to a small number of authors. Thus, according to bibliometric criteria the impact ofmedical science and professional practice in Vojvodina on international scientific streems is negligible, as well as the impact ofpapers published in Vojvodina on researchers in the world. Only 0.4 works published in Vojvodina, 0.87% papers from journalspublished in Vojvodina and written by 0.59% authors were cited in SCI.Key words: Research + statistics and numerical data; Medicine; Publications; Bibliometrics; Periodicals; Evaluation Studies

Dvod

Ocenjivanje i vrednovanje naucnog rada je tezak idelikatan posao, jer se ne moze vrsiti merilima kojavaze za bilo koju drugu vrstu produktivnosti. Umedicini se rezultati naucnoistrazivackog rada veomabrzo obelodanjuju i objavljuju i tako postaju dos­tupni naucnoj javnosti. Zato je moguce vrednovanjecelokupnog naucnoistrazivackog rada istrazivaca naosnovu objavljenih radova. Moze se vrednovati iuporedivati: rad naucnika pojedinca; rad grupe na­ucnika, ucesnika u projektima i naucnim temama, uokviru pojedinih naucnih oblasti iIi regiona; rad

Introduction

Assessment and evaluation of scientific work is ahard and delicate work, because it can not be done bymeasures valid for some other kind of productivity.In medicine results of scientific research are curren­tly revealed and published and so they become avail­able to scientific publicity. Thus, it is possible toevaluate the whole scientific research based on pub­lished papers. It is possible to assess and correlatework of individual scientists, members of special in­stitutions, participants in certain projects of scienti­fic topics, in special fields or regions. At the same ti-

institucija itd. Takode se moze vrednovati pojedi­nacni doprinos svake zemlje iii regiona razvoju svet­ske medicine.

Najbolji metod vrednovanja naucnog rada jesadrzajna (kvalitativna) analiza radova od stranekompetentnih strucnjaka iz date oblasti - analiza''peer review" kako je Knezevic naziva "analiza jed­nakih" [1]. Medutim, ovakva analiza iziskuje punovremena i ucesce velikog broja strucnjaka. Razvojinformatike i primena kompjutera omogucili suizracunavanje naukometrijskih pararnetara za vred­novanje naucnog rada i doprinosa pojedinca i drzaverazvoju nauke, uz mogucnost medusobnog uporedi­vanja i odredivanja statisticke greske i pouzdanosti.Najobjektivnije kriterijume efikasnosti naucnog rada,na osnovu razrade kvantitativnih pokazatelja i me­toda analize istrazivacke delatnosti, obezbedila jebibliometrija. Jedna od bibliometrijskih metoda zaodredivanje produktivnosti autora (institucija) zas­niva se na broju publikovanih radova. Ovaj metod uobzir uzima sarno lako prepoznatljive faktore nauc­noistrazivackog rada i ocenjuje naucno delo bezsadrzajne analize, te se dobija sarno grubi pokazateljuspesnosti pojedinca. Evaluacija naucnog doprinosana osnovu druge bibliometrijske metode - citatneanalize, zasniva se na postojanju sustinske veze iz­medu jedne publikacije i publikacija koje su u njojcitirane. Citiranje je neophodni i sastavni deo nauc­nog rada. Njime se ostvaruje komunikacija izmeduautora i povezuju se naucni radovi u ukupno naucnoznanje u jednoj oblasti [1]. Citatna analiza je jednaod najzastupljenijih i najpriznatijih naukometnjskihmetoda za analizu i vrednovanje naucnoistrazivackograda, kako u svetu [2-6] tako i kod nas [7-16]. Ona,izmedu ostalog, analizira i utvrduje odjek koji jenaucni rad proizveo u odredenoj naucnoj oblasti.Registrovanje ucestalosti citiranja radova istrazivacana osnovu citatne analize i pravilna analiza tih poda­taka mogu posluziti da se otkriju talenti, da se onipodstaknu u radu, da se uloze sredstva i obezbedeuslovi za njihov rad, sa velikom verovatnocom da cese ulozena sredstva isplatiti, kao i da se vrednuje imedusobno uporeduje naucnoistrazivacki rad istra­zivaca. Garfild, tvorac Science Citation Indexu(SCI), predvideo je putem citatne analize, buduce no­belovce [17].

Ciljevi istrazivanja su kvantifikovanje i ispitivanjeuticaja biomedicinskih strucnih i naucnih radova ob­javljenih u Vojvodini na istrazivaee u svetu i uJugoslaviji.

me we can validate the contribution of each countryor regions to the development of world medicine.

The best evaluation method for scientific work isqualitative analysis done by competent experts in acertain field i.e. "peer review" or as Mr. Knezevic no­ticed "analysis of equals". But such analysis is timeconsuming and requires a great number of experts.Development of informatics and use of computers en­abled calculation of scientometric parameters forevaluation of scientific work as well as contributionof individuals or countries to the development of sci­ence and at the same time to estimate correlations,statistical errors and reliability. The most objectivecriteria for scientific efficacy are elaborated by bib­liometrics based on quantitative indices and specialmethods of scientific research analysis. One of thebibliometric methods for establishing scientific pro­ductivity of individuals or institutions is the numberof published papers. This method takes into consid­eration only easily recognized factors of scientificwork and validates them without qualitative analysisso it gives only crude indicators of individual success.Evaluation by another bibliometric method "citationanalysis" is based on essential connections between apublication and papers cited in it.

Citation is an important, necessary part of scien­tific papers. In provides communication betweenauthors and scientific papers with the whole knowl­edge in a certain field [I]. Citation analysis is the bestand most commonly used scientometric method foranalysis and evaluation of scientific work in the world[2-6] and in our country [7-16]. At the same time, us­ing this method one can estimate the impact of scien­tific works in certain scientific fields. Citation ana­lysis and proper use of these data can help assessmentand correlation of scientific work of researchers andalso finding talents, stimula-ting their research andfinding some financial support or to provide best con­ditions for their scientific work as well as compareachievements of researchers. The creator of ScienceCitation Index (SCI), Eugen Garfield had foreseensome future Nobel laureates by using citationanalysis.

The main goal of this investigation was quantifica­tion of biomedical professional and scientific paperspublished at the territory of Vojvodina and to studytheir impact on researchers in the world and ourcountry.

Material and methods

This bibliometric, retrospective-prospective studywas done in the Library of the Faculty of Medicine inNovi Sad - Center of Biomedical Scientific Informa­tion in Vojvodina, in the frame of Biomedical Scien­tific Information System of Serbia. This research in­cluded 6.979 biomedical papers from a database forBiomedical Scientific and Professional Literature Pu­blished in Vojvodina (BlVOJ) during 1986-1997.This bibliographic database includes: papers publi­shed in scientific journals, monographs, chapters in

Citation analysis includes a twelve year produc­tion of scientific and professional biomedical litera­ture published in Vojvodina and estimates its impacton other researchers: a) from Yugoslavia - by usingthe citation analysis for the time period 1986-1997 inthe most eminent Yugoslav biomedical journals "Ser­bian Archives of Medicine Journal of the SerbianMedical Society", "Vojnosanitetski pregled" and"Medical Review". Prior to citation analysis, biblio­metric analysis of information body consisting of3.440 professional and scientific papers published inthese Journals consisting of 58.484 references, wasdone; b) from the world - citation analysis of biome­dical papers published at the territory of Vojvodinain Science Citation Index during the same period.

Results

Biomedical literature in VojvodinaIn the period 1986-1997. in the field of biomedi­

cine, 6.979 documents were published at the territoryof Vojvodina. The average number of published pa­pers was 581.6 publications annually. The produc­tion was highest In 1995 and 1987. Papers publishedin journals make 33.8% (2.357) of publications, bo­oks 30.06% (2.098), congress publications 26.23%(1.831) and PhD thesis, MS thesis and specialistworks 9.92% (693). During this period 2.414 bio­medical papers were published in Journals publishedat the territory ofVojvodina. Most papers were pub­lished in "Medical Review" (56%) and "Pneumon"(16.1%). In regard to new journals, most papers arepublished in "Archive of Oncology".

Productivity ofauthors and istitutionsIn regard to analyzed publications, 16.421 au­

thors were involved in preparation and writing(5.124 author names). The average number of au­thors per paper was 2.35 depending on the type ofdocument and year of publishing (1.93 - 2.77). Thetotal number of autohors whose papers were publi­shed in journals at the territory of Vojvodina was7.030 (2.91 average). Multiple authorship was high­est in "Current Topics in Neurology, Psyhiatry andBorderline Discipline", "Archive of Oncology"(3.15), "Medical Review" (3.07), "Pneumon" (2.86)and "Pharmaca Iugoslavica" (2.05). Out of 2.414publications, 732 references were written by a singleauthor (30.3%). Table 1 presents a list of the mostproductive authors - 49 authors with 1.524 works(on the average 31.1 papers per name). Regardingmultiple authorship per paper this number is smaller,actually it is 1.292 papers (18.51%). Thus 49 au­thors make 0.956% from the total number of authors.This implies that 0.956% author names produced18.51% of all publications.

Lista 49 najproduktivnijih autora (tabela 1) prika­zuje autore sa ukupno 1524 rada iii prosecno 31.1rad po autoru. S obzirom na prisustvo vise autora uradovima, taj broj je manji i iznosi 1.292 rada stocini 18,51% od ukupnog broja radova. Broj od 49autora cini 0,956% od ukupnog broja autorskihimena. Iz toga sledi da je 0,956% autora (autorskihimena) produkovalo 18,51% od svih radova.

Najproduktivniji autori su Udovicki 1. i PavlovicS. sa po 69 publikovanih radova i Petrovic M. sa 60objavljenih radova (lista 1). Postoji mogucnost dazbog istih prezimena i inicijala imena u listi najpro­duktivnijih autora, svi radovi tih autora budu podjednim autorskim imenom.

U listi najproduktivnijih autora sa vise od 15 ra­dova objavljenih u biomedicinskim casopisima uVojvodini (hsta 2) na prvom mestu su sa 48 radovaNikolic V. i Eri Z. Sa ove liste 55 autora produko­valo je 1.274 radova, zbog koautorstva to je 839 ra­dova, odnosno 34,75% od ukupnog broja radova. Uodnosu na ukupan broj autora radova u casopisima(7.030) to je svega 0,78%.

Registrovano je ukupno 7.926 institucija. Najvisesu zastupljene institucije iz Vojvodine 76%, i izSrbije (bez pokrajina) 15,51%, iz bivse jugosloven­ske republike Hrvatske 2,91%, broj ostalih institucijaje zanemarljivo mali. Analiza ucestalosti pojavlji­vanja institucija u radovima ukazuje da ima 21 insti­tucija koja se pojavljuje vise od 100 puta. Iz tih insti­tucija autori su objavili 3 032 rada (43,44% od svihradova) (lista 3). Najvise je radova iz: Institita za pa­tofiziologiju i laboratorijsku dijagnostiku IMS NoviSad - 275, Instituta za zdravstvenu zastitu dece i om­ladine - 220 Instituta za onkologiju Sremska Kame­nica, Patologija i citodijagnostika - 219 radova.

The most productive authors are Udovicki 1. andPavlovic S. with 69 published works and Petrovic M.with 60 (Table 1). There is a possibility that due tosame forenames and same initials in the list of themost productive authors all works of one author areunder the name of another autor. Table 2 lists themost productive authors with more than 15 paperspublished in biomedical journals in Vojvodina, Niko­lic V. and Eri Z. being the first with 48 papers. Ac­cording to data from this list we can see that 55authors published 1.274 publications, but due to co­authorship it makes 839 works i.e. 34.75% of the to­tal amount ofworks. In regard to all authors publish­ing papers in journals (7.030) it makes only 0.78%.

7.926 institutions have been registrated. Most ofthem are from Vojvodina (76%) and from Serbiawithout provincies (15.51%), and Croatia (2.91%).The number of institutions from other regions israther small. The analysis of institutions shows thatthere are 21 institutions with more than 100 publica­tons. Authors from these instutions published 3.032papers i.e. 43.44% of all papers (Table 3). Most pa­pers are from: Institute of Physiopathology andLaboratory Diagnostics Novi Sad (275), Child andAdolescence Health Care Institute (220) and Instituteof Oncology Sremska Kamenica (219).

Literature cited in papers published in 3Yugoslav medical journals3.440 works published in "Serbian Archives of

Diskusija

Impozantna produkcija biomedicinske literature,kao i veliki broj autora radova ukazuju na znacajnustrucnu i naucnu aktivnost u Vojvodini, kako u rani­jim periodima [18] tako i u ispitivanom periodu. Bu­duci da radovi u casopisima cine trecinu produkcijebiomedicinske literature u Vojvodini, a da njihovacitiranost u Jugoslaviji iznosi 50% od ukupnog brojacitata, a u SCI 75%, evidentno je da se i u vojvodan­skim casopisima nalaze radovi iza kojih stoje rezul­tati znacajnijih naucnih istrazivanja kao i oni pro­istekli iz prakse. Takvi radovi su zapazeniji i imajuznacajan uticaj na druge istrazivace. Najveci deo pu­blikovanih i citiranih radova pripada malom, ali veo­rna produktivnom broju autora i institucija, sto je uskladu sa bibliometrijskim zakonitostima.

nals) from "Medical Review". In relation to the to­tal number of published papers in "Medical Review"(1.351) during the same time interval it makes 1.48%papers.

There were 98 authors of papers published at theterritory of Vojvodina cited in SCI. Among authorsfrom BIVOJ (16.421) it makes only 0.59%. Thecomplete number of cited authors was 56, and whenconsidering all author names (5.124) it makes 1.09%.Considering the list of authors cited in SCI, whosepapers were published in Vojvodina during 1986­1997, (Table 9) the first place belongs to Budakov P.with 5 heterocitations. Out of 28 authors cited inSCI, 28 authors are selfcited (28.57%), and 70 au­thors are heterocited 71.43%.

Discussion

In the period which was the object of this bib­liometric research, as well as in earlier periods [18],there existed a remarkable production of biomedicalliterature, and such a great number of authors pointsto outstanding professional and scientific publicationactivity in Vojvodina. As papers injoumals make 1/3of the total biomedical literature production at theterritory of Vojvodina, and that its citation in Yugo­slavia makes 50% of the total number of citations (inSCI 75%) it is evident that papers published in Voj­vodina are the results of most eminent scientific re­searches and contributions based on everyday pro­fessional practice. Such papers are remarkable withsignificant impact on other researchers. Most pub­lished and cited papers belong to a very small num­ber of very productive authors and institutions, which

Informacije 0 rezul­tatima istrazivanja objavljenim u zemlji isto tako sudostupne svim istrazivacima, Od 1962. godine uJugoslaviji izlazi Jugoslovenski Index Medicus (Bib­liografija medicinske periodike SFRJ). Od 1986. go­dine u okviru SBMNI SFRJ kreira se baza podatakao biomedicinskoj literaturi publikovanoj u Jugoslaviji- Biomedicina lugoslavica - BI, a od 1992. Biome­dicina Serbica - BISER. U njima je obuhvacenakompletna domaca produkcija radova iz biomedicine.I pored toga nasi istrazivaci veoma retko navode do­macu literaturu. U vise od 40% radova publikovanihu tri jugoslovenska casopisa ne navodi se nijedan ci­tat domace literature, a u preostalim radovima i onomalo citirane domace literature starijeg je datuma, ilisu to autocitati (35%). I sam tvorac SCI, Garfield,uocio je ovu pojavu u radovima autora iz pojedinihzemalja [17]. Zastupljenost domace literature je9,85% sto je, u odnosu na rezultate istrazivanja iz ra­nijih perioda, znacajno manji procenat [19-23]. Uti­caj radova publikovanih u Vojvodini na drugeistrazivace u zemlji je prisutan, ali, uglavnom, nateritoriji gde su radovi i objavljeni. Kod vrednovanjaradova prednost treba dati radovima i autorima kojisu citirani od strane drugih autora jer oni realno pri­kazuju uticaj tih radova na druge istrazivace. Zbogtoga se i redosled na rang listama citiranosti autoraradova publikovanih u Vojvodini znacajno menjakada se iz grupe citata iskljuce autocitati. U grupivojvodanskih radova citiranih u Jugoslaviji 66% ci­tata su autocitati a u SCI 25%. Zbog mogucnostipostojanja spekulativnog citiranja, ili necitiranja ra­dova, kao i cinjenica da svi citati nisu podjednakevrednosti i zbog mogucnosti postojanja odredenihproblema kod odredivanja citata [7,24,25], uticaj ra­dova na druge istrazivace, odredivan ovom metodom,realno gledajuci, nesto je drukciji.

Citati radova iz Medicinskog pregleda cine 42%citata domace literature u tri jugoslovenska casopisai 71,4% citata biomedicinske literature iz Vojvodineu SCI. Medicinski pregled je najstariji vojvodanskibiomedicinski casopis sa dugom tradicijom, kvalitet­nim radovima, eminentnim urednistvom i recenzen­tima. Ovaj casopis je uvrscen vee desetinama godinau svetske i domace bibliografske baze podataka. Sto­ga je razumljivo da su radovi publikovani u ovom ca­sopisu zapazeni od domace i svetske javnosti.

Medicinska nauka i praksa u Vojvodini nema uti­caj na medunarodne naucne tokove. Uticaj radovaobjavljenih u Vojvodini na istrazivace u svetu jezanemarljiv, ali ipak postoje radovi koji su zapazeni.U SCI je citirano: 0,4 radova objavljenih u Vojvo­dini, 0,87% radova iz vojvodanskih casopisa i 0,59%autora. Interesantno je da su radovi publikovani uVojvodini citirani u SCI i u periodu kada je postojao

correlates with bibliometric rules. The domestic lite­rature is unjustly neglected, and the priority is usu­ally given to foreign literature. Information on thenewest scientific accomplishments are mostly foundin the international literature, whereas informationabout results of researches in our country are also atdisposal to all researchers. Publication of YugoslavIndex Medicus (Bibliography of Yugolsav MedicalJournals) started in 1962. In 1986 in the frame ofSBMNI of SFRY a data base has been created onbiomedical literature published in Yugoslavia - Bio­medicina lugoslavica - BI; in 1992 Biomedicina Ser­bica - BISER. They comprise complete domestic pro­duction on biomedicine. Despite this fact our re­searchers rarely cite domestic literature. In more than40% of papers published in 3 Yugoslav journalsthere are no citations from domestic literature. In therest of papers cited domestic literature is of older ageor self-citation (35%). Garfield, the creator of SCI,observed this negative occurrence in papers from cer­tain countries [17]. Domestic literature occurs in9.85% publications and it is significantly low in re­gard to earlier researches [19-23]. The impact ofpublications from Vojvodina on other researchers inYugoslavia is evident, but mostly at the territory ofpublishing. When assessing papers a priority shouldbe given to papers and authors cited by other re­searchers because only this shows the impact of pa­pers on others. Due to this the rating list of CItedauthors in r.apers published in Vojvodina change sig­nificantly If selfcitation are excluded. Out of papersfrom Vojvodina which are cited in Yugoslavia 66%citations are selfcitations. In SCI this ratio is 25%.

Due to the possibility of speculations or absenceof citations and the fact that all citations are not ofthe same value [7,24,25], the impact of papers onother researchers, estimated by this bibliometric me­thod, is a little different in reality. Citations from"Medical Review" make 42% citations of domesticliterature in 3 Yugoslav journals and 71.4% citationsof biomedical literature from Vojvodina in SCI."Medical Review" is the oldest biomedical journal inVojvodina with a long tradition, publishing papers ofgood quality, with eminent editorial board and pro­fessional reviews. For decades this journal has been apart of international and domestic bibliographic databases. So it is reasonable that papers published inthis journal are recognized by domestic and foreignpublic.

According bibliometric criteria the impact of me­dical science and practice in Vojvodina on the inter­national scientific streams is negligible. The impactof papers published in Vojvodina on researchers inthe world is not significant, but still there are somepapers recognized in the world. 0.4 papers published10 Vojvodina, are cited in SCI: 0.87% papers arefrom Vojvodina, written by 0.59% authors. It is inte­resting that these papers were published in Vojvodinain the period of international scientific embargo, du­ring the period in which it was not possible for ourauthors to publish papers in international journals.

em~argo, kada.nasi autori nisu mogli da objavljujusvoje radove u mostranstvu, a strani istrazivaci su teradove registrovali, proucili i uvrstili u koriscenu li­teraturu za svoja istrazivanja i pisanje radova.

Igic registruje da su cesce citirani radovi domacihautora cija su istrazivanja obavljena u inostranstvu,iIi u saradnji sa stranim autorima, od onih istrazi­vanja koja su obavljena u nasoj zemlji [26]. Isti autorkao razlog za smanjenje broja radova autora iz Srbijeobjavljenih u naucnim casopisima indeksiranim usq. u periodu 1991-.1995. navodi: sankcije Ujedi­njenih nacija, nedovoljna finansijska sredstva, bloki­rane komunikacije, odliv naucnika, oskudica sred­stava za istrazivanje, ukljucujuci i hernikalije i elek­tricnu energiju [27]. Sigurno je da su ti faktori zna­cajno uticali na obim i kvalitet naucno-istrazivackograda u tom periodu. Medutim, poznato je da je i u is­trazivanjima iz ranijih perioda konstatovano zaosta­janje nase medicine u odnosu na svetsku. Lackovic jesa saradnicima registrovao da je to zaostajanje vecenego sto se na osnovu analiziranih faktora (drustveniprihod, broj istrazivca, broj lekara i ulaganja u na­ucnoistrazivacki rad) moglo ocekivati [28,29]. U ob­zir treba uzeti i druge faktore koji uticu na naucnois­trazivacki rad u nekom regionu ili zemlji: visina dru­stvenog prihoda zemlje, broj istrazivaca, broj zdrav­stvenih radnika, broj zdravstvenih institucija, kolikasu ulaganja u naucnoistrazivacki rad i opremu, dos­tupnost domace i strane literature, itd.

Pored kvaliteta rada kao rezultata naucnoistra­zivackog rada i drugi faktori uticu na to koliko ce seputa jedan rad citirati: iz koje je predmetne oblasti,kome je rad namenjen; na kom je jeziku napisan; ko­joj disciplini pripada; ima li apstrakt i na kom je jezi­ku napisan; u kom je casopisu objavljen; itd. Pot­rebno je da prode vreme od objavljivanja rada do nje­gove citiranosti. Nepovoljnost za nase istrazivace jesto se u SCI obraduje mali broj casopisa, od toganajvise casopisa su iz SAD i sa engleskog govornogpodrucja; radovi na nelatinicnom pismu su u nepo­voljnijem polozaju u odnosu na radove napisanelatinicnim pismom; trenutno se nijedan domaci bio­medicinski casopis iz Jugoslavije ne indeksira u SCI- Source Indexu. Zato radovi nasih autora u do­macim casopisima imaju malu sansu da budu citiraniu stranim casopisima. Vecu mogucnost imaju radovinasih autora objavljeni u stranim casopisima sa vi­sokim rejtingom koji ulaze u SCI. Navodenjem i do­mace literature u tim radovima kao i u radovimadomacih autora zaposlenih u inostranstvu i drugijugoslovenski autori imali bi sansu da budu citirani.Svakako da treba podici kvalitet domacih casopisana svetski nivo i tako pruziti mogucnost kvalitetnimradovima da budu registrovani.

Rezultati istrazivanja bi bili kompletniji kada bise izvrsila analiza svih jugoslovenskih biomedicin­skih casopisa i literature. Tek kada bismo imali svojjugoslovenski indeks naucnih citata, kako isticu idrugi istrazivaci [11,16,30,31,32,33], mogli bismo

Fortunately, foreign researchers have noticed andstudied some of these papers and included them intheir researches and papers.

Dr. Igic has noticed that frequently cited paperswere mostly written by domestic authors whose re­search was done in foreign countries or were resultof international collaboration [26]. He also conclu­ded that the reason for decrease in the number of pa­pers from Serbia published in scientific journals in­dexed in SCI during 1991-1995 were: political san­ctions of the United Nations, insufficient financialsupport, blocked communications, emigration of in­tellectuals, shortage of equpment including chemicalreagents and energy [27]. It is obvious that all thesefactors had a great influence on the level and qualityof scientific research during that period. It was alsowell known from earlier investigations that our medi­cine was regressive in relation to world medicine.Mr. Lackovic registrated that regression was greaterthan it was expected according to analyzed factors(economic income, number of researchers, number ofphysicians and investments in scientific research)[28,29]. It is necessary to take into account someother facts with impact on scientific work in certainregions or countries: the economical status, numberof researchers, number of medical workers, numberof medical institutions, investing in scientific re­search and equipment, accessibility to domestic andinternational literature.

Apart from the quality of scientific work lots offactors can influence the frequency of citations: thefield of exploration, medical discipline, who the pa­per was written for; its language; with or without ab­stract; the name of journal ets. At the same timecertain time must pass from the date of publicationtill citation. For our researchers it is unfavourabethat SCI contains a small number of journals, mostfrom USA and from English-speaking countries. Pa­pers written in cyrillic letters are in bad position inrelation to papers written in Latin letters. Unfortu­nately, no domestic biomedical journal is being in­dexed in SCI - Source Index. Thus, it is the firstreason why papers published in domestic journalshave small chances to be cited in international jour­nals. Papers of our authors which are published ininternational journals with high rating in SCI are inbetter position. Citations of domestic literature inthese papers as well as in papers of domestic authorsemployed in foreign medical institutions would havemore chances to be cited. At the same time it is nec­essary to raise the quality of domestic journals to in­ternationallevel and thus give an opportunity to highquality papers to be recognized.

Results of this bibliometric research would beeven more valuable if it was done concerning all bio­medical journals and literature in Yugoslavia. In thatcase we would have our domestic Yugoslav index ofscience citation and at the same time it is a sugges­tion of some eminent domestic experts [11,16,30,31,32,33]. Lots of biomedical scientists are looking for­ward to such precious indicators and criteria. With

priblizno tacno da uocimo koliko smo od drugih du­hovno zavisni kao i koliko smo medusobno povezanii u kojoj meri resavamo probleme ovog podneblja. Zapreciznije odredivanje mesta i uticaja naucnoistrazi­vackog rada iz oblasti biomedicine u Vojvodini nasvetsku biomedicinu neophodna je i analiza radovavojvodanskih autora publikovanih van teritorije Voj­vodine, pogotovo onih radova publikovanih u inos­transtvu, kao i primena slozenijih naukometrijskihmetoda.

Zakljudak

U biomedicinskim radovima uJugoslaviji se, u veoma visokom procentu, navodisamo strana literatura. Uticaj radova objavljenih uVojvodini na istrazivace u Jugoslaviji je prisutan, aliuglavnom na teritoriji gde su radovi i objavljeni.Malom broju citiranih autora i institucija pripadavecina citata.

such citation index we would be able to judge howmuch we intellectually and spiritually depend on oth­ers and how we are connected in solving biomedicalproblems in our country. In order to perform a moreprecise estimation of the level and impact ofbiomedi­cal scientific researches in Vojvodina on the worldscience and practice it is necessary to include analy­sis of papers written by authors from the territory ofVojvodina, but published in other regions and espe­cially in foreignjoumals. At the same time we shouldtry to apply even more sophisticated scientometricmethods.

Conclusion

The production of biomedical literature at the ter­ritory of Vojvodina is at high level. The greatestnumber of publications belong to a very small num­ber of very productive authors and institutions.Authors of biomedical publications in Yugoslaviausually cite only foreign literature. The impact ofpublications from Vojvodina on other researchers inYugoslavia is evident, but mostly at the territorywhere they are published. The impact of papers pub­lished in Vojvodina on researchers in the world isnegligible, as well as the impact of medical scienceand practice in Vojvodina on international scientificstreams.
