Overview

Research analyzes how policy citations link CroRIS data to Overton, showing infrastructural influences on visibility.

Key Points

  • The study aims to explore the dynamics of policy citation visibility in small research systems, particularly in Croatia.
  • Analyzed 6,022 publications from CroRIS with 16,330 policy citation events related to these articles.
  • Examined variables such as journal subject area, institutional affiliation, and access type (open vs. closed).
  • Investigated the origins of citing bodies focusing on European and international entities versus Croatian government citations.
  • Fields with societal relevance, especially public health, environment, and sustainability, are frequently cited.
  • Open access is common among cited articles, but many prominent works remain behind paywalls.
  • Most citations come from European and international organizations, with minimal citing from Croatian governmental bodies.
