title: [Is the medical research carried out in Croatia an integral part of science worldwide?].
abstract: Presented are the results of a scientometric study carried out on a sample containing 5339 journal articles published by the Croatian authors over the period of 11 years. The analysis is performed on a macro-level, i.e. it is based on journal-aggregates data. To evaluate whether Croatian output in medicine is incorporated into the mainstream of the world science or suffers from the intellectual island effect, the extent of the journals' coverage by high quality international secondary literature, is examined. The extent of coverage is found to be 80%, making only that part of the Croatian output accessible to the world scientific community.
