The scientific activity of Croatian scientific and higher education institutions from 1991 to 2005 was determined by analysing 8436 papers published in natural science journals, indexed in the Wos-SCI-Expanded database for the given period. Thus we were able to gain insights into the characteristics of scientific communications from Croatian scientific institutions, for example, their productivity and influence, for the period that preceded the implementation of the current system of evaluating scientific performance and the creation of national strategic documents that were designed to provide guidelines for the development of science. Also, it was determined whether the legal framework of evaluating scientific institutions and the strategies for the development of science were based on the true state of scientific activity in the field of natural sciences. This research is the starting point for further systemic scientometric research which would enable the monitoring of the observed conditions and trends in the activity of Croatian scientific institutions.
