Kartografija i geoinformacije (Cartography and Geoinformation)

124KiG 2009, 12Book, journal and other publications reviewsProgress in Human GeographyThe Progress in Human Geography journal is intended to all those who wish to gain insight into the contemporary state of knowledge and research in an-thropogeography. It has been published since 1977 by SAGE Publications, and six volumes a year have been published since 2002.The journal is included into Current Contents – Social & Behavioural Scienc-es and Social Sciences Citation Index. Its impact factor for 2008 is 3.482, which puts it at third place out of 51 journals in the Geography group.Full texts of articles are available to Croatian academic and scientific com-munity via the PERO online browser (http://knjiznica.irb.hr/pero/index.php) from issue No. 1 from 1997 to issue No. 5 from 2009 (October 2009).Progress in Human Geography is a suitable medium for cartographers to publish results of their research. Some papers related to cartography published since 2006 include:Monmonier M.: Cartography: uncertainty, interventions, and dynamic display, 2006, 3.Kitchin, R., Dodge, M.: Rethinking maps, 2007, 3.Monmonier, M.: Cartography: the multi-disciplinary pluralism of cartographic art, geospatial technology, and em-pirical scholarship, 2007, 3.Gregory, I. N., Healey, R. N.: Histori-cal GIS: structuring, mapping and analysing geographies of the past, 2007, 5.O’Sullivan, D.: Geographical informa-tion science: agent-based modells, 2008, 4.Crampton, J. W.: Cartography: maps 2.0, 2009, 1.Elwood, S.: Geographic Information Science: new geovisualization technolo-gies – emerging questions and linkages with GIScience research, 2009, 2.Nedjeljko FrančulaImpact Factor of Geoinformatic CC JournalsCC journals are an abbreviation for journals included into the Current Contents (CC) bibliographic base. CC is the most popular bibliographic database in Croatia. Its popularity is due to relatively strict cri-teria of journal selection, coverage of all scientific fields, frequent updates, paper abstracts/summaries, author addresses, publisher names and addresses, possi-bility to review content of journal issues, and additional key words which facilitate searches (On line databases, Manual, http://www.online-baze.hr/ob/novosti; link on the right side of the title page). In addition, according to the Regulation for elections in scientific vocations (NN 84/2005), one requires a certain number of papers published in CC journals for election in as certain vocation. In the field of technical sciences, citation bases Science Citation Index and Science Cita-tion Index Expanded are also approved. Furthermore, according to the Croatian Scientific Bibliography (http://bib.irb.hr), in a review of projects financed by the Mini-stry of Science, Education and Sport, one Croatian paper published in a CC journal is worth more than any number of papers published in other journals.However, not all CC journals have the same weight. They can be compared using the so-called impact factor (IF). The impact factor is the ratio of the number of citations of published papers and the number of papers published during a period. It is cal-culated by dividing the number of citations during the current year of papers published during the preceding two-year period with the number of papers published during the same period. For example, IF of a journal in 2008 is calculated by dividing the num-ber of citations in 2008 of papers published in 2006 and 2007 with the number of papers published during those two years. Therefore, if each paper was cited once, IF=1. IF data are available in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) database via the Center for Online Databases (http://www.online-baze.hr – link in the right column on the homepage). IF for 2008, but also the novel five-year IF for 2008 is already (July 2009) available in JCR.I searched Current Contents and wrote down those geoinformatic journals I assessed as suitable for cartographic con-tent, and then searched impact factors in JCR. Table 1 lists IFs and five-year IFs for 2008. The International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation was included into CC in 2005, which is why there is no five-year IF for it.Nedjeljko Frančula Journal / Časopis IF 5-year IF 5-god.

Izlazi od 1977. godine, izdavač je SAGE Publications, a od 2002. godine objavlju-je se šest svezaka godišnje. Časopis je uvršten u Current Con-tents – Social & Behavioral Sciences i Social Sciences Citation Index. Faktor odjeka (Impact Factor) mu je za 2008. godinu 3, 482 pa je u skupini Geography s 51 časopisom svrstan na treće mjesto. Cjeloviti tekstovi članaka dostupni su hrvatskoj akademskoj i znanstvenoj za-jednici preko online pretraživača PERO Progress in Human Geography(http://knjiznica.irb.hr/pero/index.php) od 1. broja iz 1997. godine do u ovom tre-nutku (listopad 2009) broja 5. iz 2009. godine.Progress in Human Geography pri-kladan je medij u kojem i kartografi mogu objavljivati rezultate vlastitih istraživanja. Navodim neke članke s kartografskom te-matikom objavljene od 2006. do danas.Monmonier M.: Cartography: uncertainty, interventions, and dynamic display, 2006, 3.Kitchin, R., Dodge, M.: Rethinking maps, 2007, 3.Monmonier, M.: Cartography: the multi-disciplinary pluralism of cartographic art, geospatial technology, and em-pirical scholarship, 2007, 3.Gregory, I.

W.: Cartography: maps 2.0, 2009,1.Elwood, S.: Geographic Information Science: new geovisualization technolo-gies – emerging questions and linkages with GIScience research, 2009, 2.Nedjeljko FrančulaCC-časopisi je skraćeni naziv za časopise uvrštene u bibliografsku bazu Current Contents (CC). CC je u Hrvats-koj najpopularnija bibliografska baza. Ra-zlozi njezine popularnosti relativno su vi-soki kriteriji odabira časopisa, pokrive-nost svih područja znanosti, učestalost ažuriranja, sažetak rada, adrese auto-ra, nazivi i adrese izdavača, mogućnost pregleda sadržaja pojedinog broja časopisa, te dodatne ključne riječi koje unapređuju pretraživanje (On line baze podataka, Priručnik, http://www.online-baze.hr/ob/novosti; poveznica na des-noj strani naslovne stranice). Osim toga prema Pravilniku za izbor u znanstvena zvanja (NN 84/2005) za izbor u određeno zvanje potrebno je imati i određeni broj radova objavljenih u CC-časopisima. U području tehničkih znanosti uz CC priznaju se i citatne baze Science Cita-tion Index i Science Citation Index Ex-Faktor odjeka geoinformatičkih CC-časopisapanded. Nadalje, u Hrvatskoj znanst-venoj bibliografiji (http://bib.irb.hr) u us-porednom pregledu po projektima koje fi-nancira Ministartvo znanosti, obrazovan-ja i športa jedan rad objavljen u CC-časopisu vrijedi više od bilo koliko rado-va objavljenih u nekom drugom časopisu.Međutim, ni svi CC-časopisi nema-ju istu težinu. Međusobno se mogu us-poređivati po tzv. faktoru odjeka (utje-caja) (Impact Factor – IF). Faktor odje-ka je omjer broja citata dobivenih na ob-javljene članke i broja objavljenih člana-ka u određenom razdoblju. Računa se tako da se broj citata dobiven u tekućoj godini na radove objavljenje u proteklom dvogodišnjem razdoblju podjeli s brojem radova objavljenih u istom tom razdo-blju. Npr., IF za neki časopis u 2008. godini računa se tako da se broj citata dobiven u 2008. na članke objavljene u 2006. i 2007. godini podijeli s brojem radova objavljenih u te dvije godine. Pre-ma tome, ako je svaki članak citiran jed-nom, IF=1. Podaci o IF-u dostupni su u bazi podataka Journal Citation Reports (JCR) preko Centra za online baze po-dataka (http://www.online-baze.hr) – poveznica u desnom stupcu na naslovnoj stranici). IF za 2008. godinu, ali kao no-vost i petogodišnji IF za 2008. već je u ovom trenutku (srpanj 2009) dostupan u JCR-u.Pretražio sam bazu Current Contents i zapisao pronađene geoinformatičke ča-sopise koji su po mojoj procjeni priklad-ni i za kartografske sadržaje, a potom u JCR-u potražio faktore odjeka. U tabli-ci 1 navedeni su IF i petogodišnji IF za 2008. Za časopis International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinfor-mation nije objavljen petogodišnji faktor odjeka jer je u CC uvršten 2005. godine. Nedjeljko Frančula
