This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of articles from the Republic of Serbia in the period 2006–
2012 that are indexed in the Thomson Reuters SCI-EXPANDED database. The Republic of Serbia is
a small country in Europe with about seven million citizens that became an independent country in
2006. Since 2006, Serbian science has achieved some recognition. Analysis included 14,293 articles
with authors allfrom Serbia. Distribution of published articles in the Web of Science categories,
journals, scientific-research institutions and researchers were analysed. Most cited independent
research articles from Serbia were also analysed. The Y-index indicator for rating the productivity of
researchers and institutions was used. This indicator takes into account the contribution of the
researcher to the published results. The results showed that the productivity of articles from Serbia is
significant compared to neighbouring Serbian countries, taking into account the number of researchers
in these countries, their GDPs and the percentages of GDPs spent on research.
