Sažetak
Research focus was placed on the three Croatian forestry journals which are important carriers of information in the field of forestry science in Croatia. The research was conducted by analyzing the established links between authors, institutions, countries and journals. The journals have a key role on effective transfer and storage of information for the scientific communication. The assumption is that the observed journals are the core for the transmission of information in the Croatian forestry, and that statistical methods could identify specific patterns and trends in the creation, transfer and use of published information. It has been significant changes in the editorial policy of some observed journals during the analyzed period of time which led to the quantitative and qualitative changes. One of the highlights of changes was the entry of three journals in Thompson Reuters citatin database Science Citation Index (SCI). The correspondence analysis and link analysis identifies the authors and institutions that work together. Fortified couples and groups of authors/institutions as well as a group of authors/institutions with higher frequency of occurrence in joint works. The journals citated in SCI has been seen great changes in the clustering of institutions and scientists. Relationship established before entering the SCI soon become weak and break, and new one appears.
