Summary/Abstract: The paper summarizes methodological specificities in demographic research of the Adriatic islands. Although never large, island population has always been very heterogeneous. Residing on the archipelago over 500 km long, islanders inhabit only some 60 islands and compared to the continental population reveal various specificities. The paper classifies them both in historical perspective and in regard to the present state. Specificities are divided in three groups: special typology in connection with aims of demographic research, special problems concerning credibility of statistical sources and applicability of statistic indicators in the domain of so-called "small populations".
