Abstract:
This paper deals with the application of scientometric parameters in the
evaluation of scientists, either as individuals or in small formal
groups. The parameters are divided into two groups: parameters of
scientific productivity and citation parameters. The scientific
productivity teas further subdivided into three types of parameters: (i)
total productivity, (ii) partial productivity, and (iii) productivity in
scientific fields and subfields. These citation parameters were
considered: (i) impact factors of journals, (ii) impact factors of
scientific fields and subfields, (iii) citations of individual papers,
(iv) citations of individual authors, (v) expected citation rates and
relative citation rates, and (ui) self-citations, independent citations
and negative citations. Particular attention was payed to the
time-dependence of the scientometric parameters. If available, numeric
values of the world parameters were given and compared with the data about
the scientific output of Croatian scientists.
