We present a bibliometric analysis of all publications by Slovenian researchers in forestry, wood and paper science during the period 2005-2013. The relative proportions of different publication types (academic, non-academic, grey literature) are presented, also according to country of publication and year. The differences in publication activity among researchers are presented.

COBISS.SI-ID: 4206246Slovenia has a centralised and unified system of researchers’ bibliographies, which form part of the Co-operative Online Bibliographic System and Services (COBISS). COBISS started as a Library Union catalogue system. The development of the COBISS system and services started as early as 1987 in a form of shared cataloguing system adopted by the then Association of the Yugoslav National Libraries. Basically, COBISS represents an organisational model of joining libraries into a uniform library information system with shared cataloguing. The role of the information and bibliographic utility, as well as that of the organisational solutions and software development was taken over by the Institute of Information Science (IZUM), Maribor. Researcher bibliographies became part of the system in 1994, and became obligatory in 1997 and involved inputs made by libraries and professional librarians. There are three main reasons for the choice of the national database as a platform for the publication data and bibliometric indicators: 1. Completeness: all publications are included and they are not exclusively defined by a commercial data source. 2. Possible multiple use of the data from CVs, to links to full text, etc. 3. Transparency: every institution can see and check all other institutions’ data. The institutions own their data and the database is also online and open to society at large.
