Professor Jadranka Neralic holds a position at the Croatian Institute of History and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences within the University of Zagreb's Department of Medieval History. Her research focuses on medieval ecclesiastical structures, papal curial operations, and the interplay between church institutions and political power in medieval Croatia and Dalmatia.
Her work extensively utilizes Vatican Secret Archives documents to explore topics such as episcopal appointments, apostolic visitations, and canon law applications. Notable studies include analyses of 15th–16th-century diocesan governance in Venetian-ruled Dalmatia and the careers of Croatian clerics within the Roman Curia.
Recent publications highlight her expertise in post-Tridentine reforms, medieval diplomatic practices, and the socio-political dimensions of religious institutions. Though no scientific awards are listed, her contributions to medieval ecclesiastical history are significant, with over 20 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters.
Her research often bridges microhistorical case studies—such as judicial trials in Šibenik—with broader trends in church reform and Venetian curial influence. Collaborations include international scholars in European medieval studies, reflecting her engagement with transnational ecclesiastical networks.
