Abstract

This paper presents the results of the study where different methods measuring usage (citations, visits, and downloads) has been applied. The comparison between the total number of bibliographic record visits and full paper downloads was done. The correlation coefficient of the Hrčak bibliographic records visits and paper downloads shows high positive correlation (Spearman r=0.87, p=, 00). The Spearman correlation results in Figure 2 show that there is a high positive correlation between Scopus and WoSCC citations (r=0.80) and medium to low correlation between full paper downloads and Scopus citations (r=0.39), as well as for WoSCC citations (r=0.31) for the same set of papers. These results show that full paper download frequency within the Hrčak repository weakly correspond to the Scopus and WoSCC citations.
