The Croatian Scientific Bibliography (CROSBI) stores scientific papers published in the period from 1997 to the present. There are more then 190000 record in the CROSBI bibliography at the present, more than 2000 with full-text available. CROSBI bibliography improves the visibility of the scientific output, the impact inside scientific community and permanent archiving.
Project CROSBI started in 1997 with the main goal to collect the data on scientific output of the current research projects financed by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports (MSES) and to make them publicly available. Today CROSBI provides a comprehensive overview of all the literature produced by Croatian scientists: journal articles, books, book chapters, conference papers, theses, reports, manuscripts, etc. Scientists themselves provide the data into the database, quite often before the paper has been published. Furthermore, CROSBI provides a digital archive of full-text papers. CROSBI offers “on demand” current bibliography for the institution, project, scientist or subject. Librarians are active partners in database maintenance too as they are correcting the data and communicating with scientists in order to improve the accuracy of the data.
