Implementation of the Evaluation of Researchers' Bibliographies in Slovenia

Abstract

Thanks to the Institute of Information Science (IZUM), Slovenia is one of the few countries that connect all types of libraries into one unified library information system. It is also probably the only country with the national current research information system (SICRIS) directly connected to the national library information system (COBISS.SI). Slovenia also has one of the best managed and transparent systems for maintaining researchers' bibliographies within the framework of the library information system and it is the only country with the national researcher's bibliography directly connected with the databases Web of Science and Scopus. COBISS.SI is an indispensable information platform for evaluating the research performance of Slovene researchers within the framework of the Slovenian Research Agency (SRA) and for habilitation procedures in higher education.
