Citation Analysis as an Auxiliary Decision-Making Tool in Library Collection Development

چکیده
Introduction Academic libraries in Croatia are facing constant budget cuts, making it difficult to obtain access to current scientific and professional journals (Krajna & Markulin, 2011). At the end of 2008 the Croatian economy had plummeted into recession and the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports ceased the funding of scientific literature acquisition (Krznar, 2011). Parallel to budget cuts, the prices of scientific journals increased. The period from 2009 to 2014 showed a threefold increase in prices of the journals acquired by the Geophysical library in Zagreb (Figure 1), making it necessary to review the need for the purchase of each journal.
