Abstract:

Science Citation Index was present in Serbia from 1979, when University Library in Belgrade bought it. Serbian scientists consulted it at the Library, but it was not the official resource for the evaluation of scientific performance until 1996, when it was mentioned as a criterion in the Bylaw on the election for professors and researchers. In 2001 it became a criterion for financing researchers by the Ministry of Science. In 2008 bylaw it is defined that citations should be collected from the ISI Web of Science and from Serbian Citation Index, and that academic staff must have articles published in journals on the JCR list. University Library is entitled by the Ministry of Science to issue certificates about the number of citations for individual scientists or institutions in the process of accreditation by the National Board. From 2003 to 2008, Library had 1487 requests. Total number of citations (selfcitations excluded), was 83.033. On average there were 57.18 citations per request, but the distribution of citations per request is very uneven. Half of the authors had 10 or less citations and 372 authors were not cited. Only 10% of authors had more than 150 citations, with the maximum of 2,769.
