Abstract
This paper is composed to specify the indicators identified by scholars used for cluster performance, efficiency or competitiveness assessment. Traditional bibliometric technique was chosen to identify the trends in cluster literature. Articles from the Web of Science database were selected according to the times they were cited which allowed systemizing the aspects of the research and making valuable observations. A system of indicators which should get the most attention in cluster research was composed identifying exceptionally important points to discuss and include in the following studies. In the national level clusters usually are not able to compare their performance for there is no system created to serve this purpose. The close analysis of the indicators of cluster performance would enable cluster evaluation tool formation for cluster performance evaluation in national level.
