Typology of documents in COBISS system
Bibliographic items in COBISS researcher's bibliography are sorted by valid typology of documents, or by researcher's role when creating his/her works.
Biomedicina Slovenica
Biomedicina Slovenica (BS) is the computerised Slovenian national bibliography for the field of biomedical sciences. For over twenty years it has been built by the Institute of Biomedical Informatics of the Faculty of Medicine. BS covers the work published in Slovenia and the work of Slovenian authors published abroad which meet the quality standards and bibliographic criteria. BS is divided into two segments: in the older segment (1976-1985) there are 20,530 bibliographic records, while the current segment (1986 to present) is continuously being updated. Both segments are available at the WWW
COBISS
In the COBISS.SI system, a uniform methodology is used for the preparation of bibliographies of Slovenian researchers, registered with the Slovenian Research Agency. This ensures rational bibliographic processing, more accurate registration, better transparency of research activity results, and the possibility to apply uniform criteria for research activity evaluation standards.
Here you can prepare a bibliography display of an individual researcher (in English language too) for selected years and in chosen format.
