Quantitative bibliometric indicators are widely used to evaluate the performance of scientists. However, traditional indicators do not much rely on the analysis of the processes intended to measure and the practical goals of the measurement. In this study, I propose a simple framework to measure and predict an individual researcher’s scientific performance that attempts to take into account the main regularities of publication and citation processes and the requirements of practical tasks. Statistical properties of the new indicator – a scientist’s personal impact rate – are illustrated by its application to a sample of Estonian researchers.

The working group was founded on the eve of the Czech EU-Presidency in November 2008 in Prague by the Office of the Government of the Czech Republic in cooperation with the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes. It was convened in response to calls formulated by the European public hearing “Crimes committed by totalitarian regimes” during the Slovenian EU-presidency on 8 April, 2008 and the Prague Declaration of 3 June, 2008. The Institute is the coordinator of the working group which today counts about 36 governmental and non-governmental institutions and organisations from 18 European countries.

Accepting archival material from its owners in accordance with relevant legal regulation archives can not achieve without access to suitable archival space (archival depo's). This issue had been influencing dynamics of accepting the material during past in all Bosnian-Herzegovian archives, Archive Tuzla included, which ultimately reflected on the state of archival material in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We believe that is mistake of archive's founders but also society as a whole. In the absence of organized social care for ensuring adequate archival space archives in the past, and even now, forced to find solutions themselves. With huge efforts some inadequate objects are obtained, often in an unsuitable locations. Such example is the Archive of Tuzla Canton. Objects that are provided to the Archive for ten years use are not satisfying considering location (place where army resided), space (ten kilometres distance from our main building), or construction (object created for other purposes). However, since no better solution could be found, the Archive took these objects, adapted them and used them for storing less important archival material, thus creating the possibility to use Archive's suitable, central depo for first category material. All these activities have been achieved thanks to great enthusiasm of the Archive's employees, which is a positive example how with our own effort a contribution to protection of cultural and historical heritage can be successfully achieved.

As we look at the last ten years of archives building construction, we can see the following trends: in Klagenfurt (Federal Land Kernten) and St. Polten (Federal State of Lower Austria), apart from the Austrian state archive, built entirely new archives that are correspond to archival scientific literature. In the Innsbruck (Federal Land of Tyrol), Graz (Federal Land of Stajerska) and Vienna, existing buildings, with minor or greater adaptations, were adapted for archival purposes. In archives that can’t reach daylight and which are located in the interior, it is necessary to install climate control, while in those buildings with windows, according to climatic conditions, this area can apply natural air conditioning. Due to its location and functionality, the Styrian archive of history showed itself as a successful combination between a new, functional central depot and an adapted historical monastery.

This paper is focused on the theory, standards and good practices in digitization of archival documents, as implemented in the Scientific Archive at the National Institute of Archeology with Museum (SA of NIAM-BAS). We explored metadata standards for archival documentation ISAD, EAD and “universal” cultural metadata standard Dublin Core trying to choose the best fit for representing of all the fields of SA of NIAM to de facto “standard”, used in NIAM-BAS since the 60s. The archival documentation of archeological museum is very specific and contains five different types of documents: scientific report, field diary, field inventory book, photographic documentation and graphic documentation. The results and current annotation specifics are explained. Perspectives for future information system development are outlined.

The Styria archive of Styria applies to efficient, close-to-citizen and best-equipped service in the country. In all parts of the administration, rigorous measures of savings have been deployed, the Archive has managed to significantly increase the number of staff members in the past years. Official sites are relatively fast filled up. In addition, the administration of the Archive has always come to the open ear (to understand) at the senior services and responsible politicians. Since 1981, about 300 million silts (ATS) have been separated from the building. Particular attention is paid to the special contribution of the Workers Archive in recent years. Thus, thanks to their own efforts in the Archives, the relocation costs, estimated at around 6 million ATS, were reduced to 2.5 million ATS. As part of the relocation of the Archives Archive, one is attached to one of Styria, a very important institution. Thus, the overburdened books from the 33 municipal court were taken over, leading to the fact that people who had little to do with the archive were passing through the archives daily. The fact is that in the future, apart from the preservation and securing of materials, one of the main tasks of the Archive will be public work, through consultation and monitoring of professional and scientific research papers, either by answering an increased number of requests in writing or through archives or Lectures in and out of the Archive.

Apart from the wider social significance of video television archives, including Bosnian and Herzegovinian oldest and richest archive of TV BiH, they are of great importance for the realization of diverse citizens’ rights. Most often, requests are about memories or as a specific proof. Since the video material of the documentary and other nature is mainly categorized as archival material, it is the obligation of the television archives to keep it and, in accordance with the regulations, to submit it to the competent institution (archive, Cinematheque) for the satisfaction of the citizens' personal rights.

The role of archives in the democratization of the Bosnia-Herzegovina society is of great importance which is reflected in the number of services that archives provide for many users of reforms. The function of the archive is, among other things, important due respect of human rights and freedoms. One of the most important rights is the right to access information. With archival and other legislation, which is quite liberal in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is created a favorable environment for free access to information for the exercise of democratic rights of citizens. Present problems are more technical than substantive-legislative nature, which leads to the need to involve the country in creating a positive, professional and material conditions for the construction of simple and functional system that will enable high-quality and fast access to information.

Social changes and the need for adjusting to new market conditions have been significantly reflected on the efficient functionning of banks, since the essence of modern banking acitivity is the speed of providing with banking services, and quick and simple approach to data for every bank's beneficiary. New technologies and new bearers of information give the possibility for application of modern archiving and handling with register material. They are manifested in modern banking system, mostly based on electronic data processing, thus creating the possibility of substitution the classical system of archiving. However, application of new modern ways of archiving depends to a great extent on economic state of banks as well as on an obligation to fitt into international standards in this area. Besides, majority of experts in this field still have numerous dilemmas in terms of possibilities of new technologies to answer some specific inquiries when it comes to the authencity and credibility of documents. Therefore, it is necessary to build a proper system which would provoke more successful and universal care for registry work in banks by joint efforts of the archival profession and all banking and financing institutions in the country.

When transferring knowledge of archivists in registries we can expect quality results, provided that archivist in charge of archives and archivists in registries have certain degree of mutual trust, mutual respect, and above all mutual confidence, that such contacts are performed for high-quality archival paper service. This ensures safety and protection of archival material, in a way that the records kept in such condition that it can be in a relatively short time prepared for those who need the current records for the business creator and the like.

The aim of this paper was to provide basic information about the state of archival activities in the area of Zenica-Doboj Canton. Zenica-Doboj Canton has a total of 12 municipalities with over 400,000 inhabitants. Current records and archival material from these municipalities until 1992. was subject of treatment by three archival institutions (Travnik, Sarajevo, Doboj). Given the new administrative structure of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Federation, archival legislation has changed, as well as jurisdiction of individual archives. This Canton got the Law of archives and other supporting documents during 2006. but there has not been an institution of the Archive of Zenica-Doboj canton. Possible reasons for this situation is the lack of funding in the budget of the canton and the absence of a clear vision, strategy and human resources with which to begin the process of building the archive and all ancillary services.It is interesting to mention the fact that the Cantonal Assembly only at September 2010. adopted the study of socio-economic justification for starting an archive. In this document, again, no details were specified, like possible location or locations for the archives building, professional staff with the necessary level of expertise to work as archivists, etc.Still, we hope that at least until second half of upcoming, year 2012., Zenica-Doboj Canton will finally get the institution of the Archive.

From the presented paper we can say that this is a relatively rounded archival fund with a small number of archival documents and photos, but very useful for researchers, scientists who will in the future deal with these issues. With this modest work I tried to bring closer to Bosnian and Herzegovinian archival and historiographical public one significant issue concerning the life and activities of the Bosnian school refugee population in the Republic of Slovenia during the war (1992-1995).

In the article we tried to present one of the sources of the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina after the second world war, which can be found in the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia. We described bosnian chil- dren: war orphans, children without one of the parents, displaced and sick children, who in the years 1945 - 1956 recovered their health in Slovenia and were repatriated with few exceptions. However, we would like to call attention to the usefulness of gathering all the different evidences, already listed in the article and saved in one place, in the frames of some scientific or archivistic project in a unitary computer basis. Such project would result in at least approximate number of children, names and surnames included, sometimes even birth dates or residences with full addresses. Those children are now almost retired and according to our experiences young pensioners are the most frequent us- ers of the archival material. So why don't we recall the part of their past, that might have escaped their memory?

It is beyond doubt that significant archival material in Bosnia and Herzegovina exists as a property of individuals. It is very important that it is found, registered and conditions are prepared for its preservation and use, because it can contain an important documents and be a valuable source of informations for history of Bosnia and Herzegovina. As a cultural and historical heritage and movable cultural good of immense value it is a source of data and informations and important link in creating an image of nation's past, since nation without past is like a man without an identity, lost and destined to wander. Therefore it is important to preserve this material for the future, either in archives or under suitable conditions in the care of material's owners. Clear legislation must give a frame to successful solutions for protection of this kind of archival material, maybe even treat this particular material with a special act, which it clearly deserves. Archival services should also strive to raise an awareness of citizens about importance of the material, as a memeory of an entire society. Duty of the archive is not only to protect archival material but to point out to importance and encourage indivuduals to gather and preserve it, because every document linked to the country's past is important. Only by mutual efforts of archives and broader community archival material will be able to get a status it really deserves.

Bosnia and Herzegovina has a very valuable archive material on the movie trailer. The cause is physically endangered by several causes, and there is a danger that this cultural and historical treasure will be destroyed. The possibilities for rescuing this treasure are diverse: from securing adequate custodial conditions through the treatment of documents until their transmission (migration) to new (digital) and existing bearers of records, which, of course, requires appropriate professional titles and significant financial resources.

The transitional changes in the Republic of Slovenia led to ownership changes in the companies, which completely changed their legal status. As a result of these changes we altered the status and archives of these subjects, which led to complications of problems related to the same. There is a wide range of these problems and it ranges from: difference between public and private holdings, issues of continued care, issues of liquidated and bankruped enterprises, etc. In order to overcome the existing problems it was necessary to bring a valid regulations, establish proper cooperation between the archives and the holder of these archives. This cooperation involved a whole range of different activities. It is increasingly evident, however, and results in solving the problem of archives of all these subjects are more certain.

As regulated by the international legal and social acts the archival materials have the status of the movable cultural goods. Such a status which has originated from the historical progress in the world's under standing of the importance of the archival materials does not entirely reflects their complex significance of a primary historical source of information, documentary evidence as well as of the important cultural goods. It is necessary, therefore, to start treating the archival materials as the subject of the archival science in a different way.It implies making improvements in the international documents, both general and social ones, primarily as a result of a quick development of numerous modern sciences affecting the archival science as well. In the process of a proper defining of the status of the archival materials it is necessary to use the current experiences of the countries in transition, especially experiences of Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to prevent the international system in this segment from being built on a verbal basis and as dictated by developed countries. The pragmatic component of this issue should be then worked out by using theoretical ideas of the archival science developed within ICA, but also on the national levels.

A record office can be considered orderly if all its activities related to records follow the regulation on office and archival activities.It first of all means that the archival book is properly kept. Besides, the archival book as the identity card of any record office is important for all work processes and business activities of a certain holder. It is, for example, necessary to reconstruct the archival materials destroyed in various situations caused by the war, natural disasters and the like. In the event that the original archival book is not preserved the copy of it, if previously delivered to competent archives, will serve the purpose. Proper keeping of the archival book is not only compulsory, but it also reflects how adequately a holder cares of his own archival materials. It is also the obligation of every archival institution responsible to the archival profession and state administration for the condition of the archival materials to be forwarded from the record offices to the archives through the established procedure.
