Sažetak
This paper aims to quantify the productivity of research concerning the Adriatic Sea, with a focus on oceanography and meteorology. Productivity and impact were measured by analysing articles and citations from the Thomson Reuters Web of Science database, spanning the period 1994-2008. The most productive country was Italy but the highest number of citations was achieved by articles from Germany (all Adriatic publications) and Spain (“Oceanography” and “Meteorology and atmospheric sciences”, only). By contrast, the second-most productive country, Croatia, had the lowest citation rate. Collaborations between Adriatic researchers were driven not only by the geographical position of a country (e.g., Italy vs. Croatia), but also by investment rates in Adriatic research (e.g., Italy vs. USA and Croatia vs. USA). Such collaborations substantially improved the impact of the research, especially from transitional countries such as Croatia.
