Researchers’ Bibliographies

Researchers' bibliographies enable researchers and other authors the display of bibliographic units from the COBIB shared bibliographic database based on their researcher's code, which is appointed to the author once he/she is entered into the register of researchers within the current research information system in Montenegro (E-CRIS) under the condition that their bibliographic units are included in the COBISS system.

more >>>

The data is entered to the shared bibliographic database by libraries that participate in the COBISS system as full members and have qualified cataloguers. As a general rule you can decide which library will update and edit your personal bibliography. For researchers, this is usually the library at your institution of employment. If your institution does not have a library, you should find a library that specialises in your subjects. Pay them a visit and they will provide you with detailed instructions for updating your bibliography.

The default setting for sorting bibliographic units is first by typology of documents/works, within individual types by year of publication from newest to oldest, and within the same year by title of the work. You can change the default sorting setting with the parameter sorting of bibliographic units.

Searching for Authors

The display of bibliographic units from the COBIB database in the COBISS system for the selected researcher is possible on the basis of the researcher's code, which is appointed to the author once he/she is entered into the register of researchers and research organisations (E-CRIS). In order to do so, you have to enter the corresponding code.

more >>>

If you do not know the code, you can enter the name and surname. The name and surname must be entered in the same form as they were entered in the E-CRIS register, which might be different to the form used in the records of the bibliographic units. When entering the name, the diacritics can be replaced with letters without them (e.g. Cukic Dragana instead of Čukić Dragana). You can also enter the surname only.

When entering the search request in the search form, the autocomplete function automatically suggests search terms that could be helpful for the search. If the software finds multiple authors with the same name and surname after you confirm the search term (e.g. name and surname), a table with detailed data on individual authors is displayed (e.g. other forms of the name, additions to the name, etc.). If the software does not find the search term, a notification is displayed.

Bibliographies of Serials

Bibliographies of Serials enable bibliographic units to be displayed from the COBIB shared bibliographic database.

more >>>

You can search for serials by using the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), the serial title or keywords. If you enter 0023-2408, which is the ISSN of the journal Književnost: mesečni časopis, the report will include all catalogued contributions from this journal.

The default setting for sorting bibliographic units is first by typology of documents/works, within individual types by year of publication from oldest to newest, and within the same year by title of the work. The default sorting setting can be changed with the parameter sorting of bibliographic units.

The correct sorting of units by typology is the responsibility of the authors of published articles and editors of serials.

Researchers' Bibliographies - FAQ

  • How to enter or edit data for personal bibliographies? Answer


    The software available on the Researchers' Bibliographies website enables the display of personal bibliographies of researchers and associates based on the researcher's code, which is appointed to the author once he/she is entered into the register of researchers within the current research information system in Montenegro (E-CRIS) under the condition that their bibliographic units are included in the COBISS system.

    The data on the bibliographic units is displayed from the COBIB shared bibliographic database. Each unit from the COBIB database can be included in the personal bibliography correctly if the record, along with the basic bibliographic data (author, title, year of publication, publisher, etc.) also includes the code from the typology of documents/works, the researcher's code and some other data.

    The data is entered into the shared bibliographic database by libraries that are full members of the COBISS system and have librarians – cataloguers who are trained to enter this data.

    Generally, you can choose which library should update and edit your personal bibliography. The bibliographic units are usually entered and edited by the library of the institution at which the researcher is employed. If the institution does not have a library, it is suggested to choose a library that is specialised for your field of expertise. Contact them and arrange your personal bibliography management. They will give you specific instructions about what is required for them to update your personal bibliography.
