The purpose of this study is to expand the knowledge on publication patterns in the SSH in terms of the coverage of articles in Web of Science and their distribution in citation indexes within WoS with focus on journal quartile rank based on the Impact Factor. We analysed 441,088 publications over the period 2013-2016 from five European countries. With this study, we aim to follow-up the discussion about the publication patterns in Social Sciences and Humanities providing a complex information about recent developments primarily in Central and Eastern European countries (CEE) with similar cultural and political heritage (Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland) and comparing the patterns with Flanders (Belgium) and Norway representing Western and Nordic countries. Our findings show that despite a persisting distinction between the group of CEE countries and two Western/Nordic countries across all disciplines, CEE countries approach Western and Nordic counterparts in observed dimensions. In overall, the publication patterns in particular in CEE countries are in the process of change towards a greater representation in journals indexed in international database Web of Science and within WoS in those of greater visibility. There are nonetheless major dissimilarities in the dynamics of the change between countries and individual disciplines even within a broad subject area such as Social Sciences and Humanities. We conclude with the suggestion to take the differences between disciplines within SSH into account for the research evaluation and science policy.
