Abstract

The paper gives the bibliometric and citation analyses of the SPATIUM journal for the period 2009-2015. In the subject period, Spatium was published twice or three times a year, from the issues 19-34, so that this study comprises 16 volumes, or 145 papers. The bibliometric analysis of the Journal was made de visu (with the publication in hand), thus ensuring the authenticity of the given results. The analysis shows the number of papers, categorization of papers, number of authors, affiliation of authors, representation of authors from different countries, average number of references per paper, length of texts, keyword frequency, total number of reviewers and their international representation. The citation count was based on the data taken from the citation databases of SCIndex (Serbian Citation Index), Google scholar and Scopus. The paper shows the differences in the citation analysis of the SPATIUM journal at the example of one paper.
