Bibliographic output of the Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health in Zagreb between 1994 and 1998

This paper brings a classification of the bibliographic output of the Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health over the period 1994-1998 into fourteen main categories according to the type of publication and its coverage in different bibliographic databases. The academic staff was classified according to scientific fields in which they received the bachelor's degree and in which they were appointed into a scientific grade. The authors compared the Institute's scientific performance in the last five years to previous periods and with achievements of similar institutions in Croatia. Regardless of a large decrease in the Institute's personnel, the number of scientists with a Ph.D. degree remained unaltered. The ratio between published papers covered by Current Contents and the number of scientists holding a Ph.D. degree slightly dropped, while the ratio between the publication of conference abstracts and Ph.D.s doubled.
