Reflections Most Cited Papers in Croatica Chemica Acta Bono Lučić and Nenad Trinajstić* The Rugjer Bošković Institute, P.O.B. 180, HR-10002 Zagreb, Croatia RECEIVED JANUARY 14, 2010; ACCEPTED FEBRUARY 24, 2010  This report was initiated by Professor Nikola Kallay, the present Editor-in-Chief of this journal, after suggestion by Professor Milan Randić, a member of the Advisory Bord. Professor Kallay asked us to prepare this essay as a result of his e-mail discussions with Professor Randić who found in the article: N. Trinajstić, The 70th Anni-versary of CROATICA CHEMICA ACTA 1927–1997, Croat. Chem. Acta 70 (1997) I–IV, the following text he could not confirm: “The most cited paper from Croatica Chemica Acta is W. Stumm, C. P. Huang and S. R. Jenkins, Specific Chemical Interactions Affecting the Stability of Dispersed Systems, Croat. Chem. Acta 42 (1970) 223–245. Research on which this paper is based was reported at the Summer School on the Chemistry of Solid/Liquid Interfaces that was held in Dubrovnik and Cavtat, Croatia, in July, 1970. This article has been cited more than a thousand times.”  Similarly, the guest-authors, Marko Branica, Go-ran Kniewald and Tarzan Legović, stated in the Editori-al of the issue of Croatica Chemica Acta dedicated to Professor Werner Stumm (1924–1999) (Croat. Chem. Acta 71 (1998) I–II): “One of the most significant con-tributions to Croatica Chemica Acta is the paper by W. Stumm, C. P. Huang and S. R. Jenkins, Specific Chemi-cal Interactions Affecting the Stability of Dispersed Systems, Croat. Chem. Acta 42 (1970) 223–245. It was reported at the Summer School on the Chemistry of Solid/Liquid Interfaces that was held in Cavtat, Croatia, in July, 1970. This article is one of the most cited chem-ical papers in the the second half of this century (cited more than 1000 times) and became the Science Citation Classic in 1990.” Both statements are unfortunately incorrect in the number of citations and in calling this paper as Stumm's most cited paper in Croatica Chemica Acta. It appears that the following paper is the most cited contribution by him and co-workers: W. Stumm, R. Kummert and L. Sigg, A Ligand-Exchange Model for the Adsorption of Inorganic and Organic-Ligands at Hydrous Oxide Inter-faces, Croat. Chem. Acta 53 (1980) 291–312. However, both papers made the This Week's Citation Classic in the Current Contents issue of November 24, 1990, page 18 (http://www.garfield.library.upenn.edu/classics1990/A1990DY08700001.pdf). At that time the first paper was cited in 105 and the second paper in 110 publica-tions. We also found in the This Week's Citation Classic in the Current Contents issue of October 10, 1988 that is listed the following book: W. Stumm and J.J. Morgan, Acquatic Chemistry: An Introduction Emphasizing Chemi-cal Equilibria in Natural Waters, Wiley-Interscience, New York, 1970 which has been cited over 1400 times. (http://www.garfield.library.upenn.edu/classics1988/A1988Q213500001.pdf). This information could be the reason for the erroneous statements from above. It appears that more than thousand times are cited six papers by Stumm and co-workers published in Croati-ca Chemica Acta in the period of 20 years (1970–1990). All these papers were based on reports at summer schools and conferences on Chemistry of Solid/Liquid Interfaces held in several Croatian coastal places (Du-brovnik-Cavtat, Red Island-Rovinj). They were dis-cussed by Garrison Sposito (Department of Environ-mental Science, Policy and Management, University of California, Berkeley) in his article Adsorption as a Problem in Coordination Chemistry. The Concept of the Surface Complex, in: Interfacial and Interspecies Processes, edited by C. P. Huang, C. R. O’Melia and J. J. Morgan, ACS, Washington, 1995, pp. 33-57, in the section entitled The Articles in Croatica Chemica Acta, pp. 35–36. In Table 1, we first give the number of published research papers in Croatica Chemica Acta from 1964 to 2008. Citations of papers published in Croatica Chemica Acta have been recorded since 1964 by Institute of Scie-tific Information (ISI) in Philadelphia and refered to by the Journal Citation Reports (JCR), published by ISI. In Figure 1, we give citations in each year from 1964 to CCCVIII B. Lučić and N. Trinajstić, Most Cited Papers in Croatica Chemica Acta Croat. Chem. Acta 83 (2010) CCCVII. 2009. It is seen that the number of citations steadily increases, reaching 918 of citations in year 2008 (note that we prepared this report in the mid December of 2009 and thus the number of citations for year 2009 was not the final). As indicated in JCR, impact factor (IF) of Croati-ca Chemica Acta for year 2008 is 0.831 (standard IF), and its novel version named 5-year IF is 1.000. Standard IF of Croatica Chemica Acta calculated without self-citations is 0.777. The percentage part of self citations in the number of cumulative citations in 2008 (918) is at the level of 6 % (56/918), and is the same (in percen-tage) as the part of self-citations in years used in IF calculation (8/123). The total number of citations from 1964 to 2009 is 18848, and the total number of citations without self-citations is 13815 (73 %). In Table 2, we give data on 50 most cited papers, published in Croatica Chemica Acta from 1964 to 2008. The following data are taken from the ISI Web of Knowledge – Web of Science on December 22, 2009. Among all 3246 papers (2965 re-search papers from Table 1 together with editorials, book reviews, etc.) published in Croatica Chemica Acta between 1964 and 2008 and recorded in ISI, 2394 pa-pers have ≥ 1 citations, i.e. about 26 % papers have 0 citations. In addition, there are 537, 195, 85, and 50 papers having ≥ 10, ≥ 20, ≥ 30, and ≥ 40 citations, re-spectively. One can see from this table that the majority of the most cited papers belong to foreign contributors (36 papers), a modest number to Croatian authors (10 pa-pers) and only four papers reporting the collaborative efforts between Croatian and foreign researchers. Among these 14 (10 + 4) papers with Croatian authors, 12 papers have authors from the Rugjer Bošković Insti-tute. The total number of citations for these 50 papers is 3869, i.e. 21 % of the total number of citations (18848) of all papers published in Croatica Chemica Acta from 1964 to 2008. Among these 50 papers, there is balance between papers reporting experimental results (26 pa-pers) and papers reporting theoretical results (24 pa-pers). Among 24 theoretical papers, 17 are chemical graph-theoretical papers. Among the foreign contribu-Table 1. The total number of research papers published in Croatica Chemica Acta from 1964 till 2008.

Two Stumm’s papers do not appear in Table 2. The first paper of these two is the last of the six papers based on reports at the summer schools and confe-rences: W. Stumm, B. Sulzberger and J. Sinnger, The Coordination Chemistry of the Oxide-Electrolyte Inter-face – The Dependence of Surface Reactivity (Dissolu-tion, Redox Reactions) on Surface-Structure 63 (1990) 277–312 (times cited: 33; December 22, 2009). The last paper is W. Stumm, Catalysis of Redox Processes by Hydrous Oxide Surfaces, Croat. Chem. Acta 70 (1997) 71–93 (times cited: 9; December 22, 2009). This paper was dedicated to the late Marko Branica (1931–2004) on the occasion of his 65th birthday and appeared in the special issue of Croatica Chemica Acta (Croat. Chem. Acta 70 (1997) 1–472) dedicated to Marine Chemistry as a tribute to the 65th anniversary of Marko Branica.   Figure 1. Citations of papers in each year from 1964 to 2009 (till December 22, 2009).
