Title: Croatia: Bibliographical database of Croatian journalism and media research related to risks and opportunities for deliberative communication (2000-2020) Authors: Filip Trbojevic, Dina Vozab, Iva Nenadic, Zrinjka Peruško Contact information: Filip Trbojevic (filip.trbojevic@fpzg.hr) The dataset is produced within the framework of the HORIZON 2020 project called MEDIADELCOM (Critical Exploration of Media Related Risks and Opportunities for Deliberative Communication: Development Scenarios of the European Media Landscape) in 2021-2022. The dataset is one of the 14 single-country data sets included in the consolidated file of country data sets (with 5623 entries), all in msw.xlsx format. All tables are searchable by 20 variables: full reference, year of publication, national/international publication, language, country the publication deals with, time of empirical data gathering, type of publication, open access/not OA, where referenced, focus on journalism domain, focus on media related competences domain, focus on media usage patterns domain, focus on legal and ethical regulations domain, type of the approach, original key words, main topic, comments, country. As the data has been gathered specifically about the research done in four mentioned domains concerning potential ROs emanating from the news media development for deliberative communication, this database does NOT cover ALL the academic publications in the fields of media and journalism research. Consequently, the above-mentioned conditions limit the generalizations and comparisons based on the current database. 2. Methodological information The data gathering was guided by the MEDIADELCOM project's Specific Objective 2: Mapping and critical analysis of the risks and opportunities (ROs) related research and data (2000-2020), enabling the assessment of the quality of the research on media related ROs, as well as the potential of national expertise in different EU countries. (WPs 2 and 3). The main goal of the data gathering was to make it possible to describe and assess news media monitoring capability in each participating country. The theoretical-methodological framework of four domains where potential ROs appear (journalism, media related competences, media usage patterns, and legal and ethical regulation) guided the selection of the publications. The matrices of relevant variables for each domain were worked out, which directed the selection process. Involving experts, not only internationally available data and research, but also studies in national languages are included. Croatian cases were selected in two waves: in the first wave, texts were selected on the basis of keywords from the theoretical proposal for each of the four RO's. In the second wave, the selected texts were supplemented by keywords developed specifically for the bibliographical database. Keywords were in both cases used to search the Croatian open source database of academic journals, as well as the National and university library holdings, and various international journal collections and databases. Additional literature was also added from the reference lists of articles and books. Google search was also performed with the keywords, and web pages of relevant media-related organizations visited. 3.
