Croatian and international higher education institutions (HEIs) value university ranking lists as a method for evaluating the impact of higher education institutions. Different ranking lists utilize different calculation methods to position universities on a scale, thus giving said institutions lower or higher visibility in the academic environment. One of the criteria used to classify a particular university is the scientific output of its researchers. Data on research productivity are mainly collected from bibliographic and citation databases such as the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) and Scopus. The accuracy of collected data depends, among other things, on the institutional affiliations that the authors list in their papers. The aim of this paper is to show that the correct listing of institutional affiliations in scientific articles indexed in the WOSCC and Scopus databases affects the number of papers attributed to the institution in question.

This paper analyses the variants of institution names that are listed as affiliations of two faculties of the University of Split. The results show that, due to different name variants entered as institutional affiliations when searching for affiliations by category, a certain number of papers cannot be attributed either to the University of Split or to a particular faculty. This may have also had an impact on some faculties' positions within the University, as well as on their placement on ranking lists.

The focus is on the role of academic librarians as professionals who are familiar with the organization of scholarly databases, as well as their institutions' scholarly output. They are often able to resolve the issue of missing author affiliations and missing links between faculty and university affiliations. Furthermore, recognition of the librarians' efforts and achievements in supporting the faculties positioning within the university, and the universities positioning nationally could benefit the status and the visibility of academic librarians within their communities.

克罗地亚和国际高等教育机构（HEI）重视大学排名列表，作为评估高等教育机构影响的一种方法。不同的排名列表利用不同的计算方法来按比例定位大学，从而使所述机构在学术环境中具有较低或较高的知名度。用于对特定大学进行分类的标准之一是其研究人员的科学成果。有关研究生产力的数据主要来自书目数据库和引文数据库，例如Web of Science核心合集（WOSCC）和Scopus。所收集数据的准确性尤其取决于作者在其论文中列出的机构联系。

本文分析了作为斯普利特大学两个系的附属机构列出的机构名称的变体。结果表明，由于在按类别搜索从属关系时输入了不同的名称变体作为机构从属关系，因此一定数量的论文不能归因于斯普利特大学或特定的教职员工。这也可能会影响大学中某些系的职位，以及它们在排名列表中的位置。

重点是大学图书馆员作为熟悉学术数据库的组织及其机构的学术成果的专业人员的作用。他们通常能够解决缺少作者联系以及缺少教师与大学联系之间的联系的问题。此外，认识到图书馆员在支持大学内部学院定位方面所做的努力和取得的成就以及全国范围内的大学定位，可以使学术图书馆馆员在其所在社区中的地位和知名度受益。
