Thomson ISI's bimonthly web-product ISI Essential Science Indicators (ESI) is an in-depth analytical tool that regularly reports quantitative analyses of research performance and science trends, covering about 8,500 scientific journals from the entire world. In each issue ESI lists the scientists, institutions, countries and journals that are most improved from one update to the next, i.e. that show the largest percentage increase in total citations. In its edition of January 2003, it reported that our "Collegium Antropologicum" was the most improved journal in the field of Social Sciences during the period from July 2002 to September 2002. The field of Social Sciences is one of 22 categories of science regularly analyzed by ESI. It includes anthropology, public health, sociology, social work and policy, political science, law, education, communication, library and information sciences, environmental studies and rehabilitation. Due to journal's success, which is based on publications of predominantly Croatian scientists within the past seven post-war years, Croatia was also officially the most improved among more than 200 countries, and University of Zagreb was the most improved in the field of Social Science among thousands of other institutions. We hope that this is an early sign of revival of the scientific activity in our country after the War in Croatia (1991-1995).
汤姆森科技信息集团的双月网络产品《基本科学指标》（ESI）是一种深入的分析工具，定期报告研究绩效和科学趋势的定量分析，涵盖全球约8500种科学期刊。在每一期中，ESI都会列出从一次更新到下一次更新中进步最大的科学家、机构、国家和期刊，即总被引频次增长百分比最高的。在其2003年1月的版本中，它报道我们的《人类学院学报》在2002年7月至2002年9月期间是社会科学领域进步最大的期刊。社会科学领域是ESI定期分析的22个科学类别之一。它包括人类学、公共卫生、社会学、社会工作与政策、政治学、法律、教育、传播学、图书馆与信息科学、环境研究和康复学。由于该期刊的成功（这基于过去战后七年主要由克罗地亚科学家发表的论文），克罗地亚在200多个国家中也正式成为进步最大的，而萨格勒布大学在数千个其他机构中是社会科学领域进步最大的。我们希望这是克罗地亚战争（1991 - 1995年）后我国科学活动复兴的一个早期迹象。
