Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to enumerate papers published by doctors of science from Croatia, between 1991 and 1996. The data could be used as the basis for initial steps towards a rational science policy in Croatia. The list of doctors of science was provided by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Republic of Croatia (MSTRC), and it included 6496 doctors in 39 scientific fields. The number of their papers, published in Croatia, was obtained from the Bibliographic data base of the National and University Library, Zagreb. Those published outside of Croatia were enumerated by using the Current Contents data base (Institute for Scientific Information, Philadelphia, USA). From the total number of doctors, 1160 (17.84%) have not published a single paper in Croatia. Out of them, 252 published papers only outside of Croatia. Thus, 908 (13.96%) doctors were totally nonproductive. Among scientists publishing abroad, there were almost exclusively those from Natural sciences; primarily physicists, chemists and mathematicians, less so geologists, geographists and biologists.
