Personal bibliographies allow you to create different bibliography reports for authors whose data has been entered to the CONOR.SI authority database and whose bibliographic units have been entered to the shared COBIB.SI bibliographic database.
Data is entered to the shared COBIB.SI bibliographic database and to the CONOR.SI authority database by qualified librarians in libraries and specialised information centres that are full members of the COBISS.SI system. As a rule, authors can choose which library or specialised centre will manage their personal bibliography. In the library, authors will receive specific instructions on what they must submit so that their personal bibliography can be updated.
The default setting for sorting bibliographic units is according to the year of publication from oldest to newest within the same year after the title of the work. You can change the default sorting setting with the parameter sorting of bibliographic units.
In personal bibliographies you can search an author based on author's name and surname. You can search with any form of the name and surname used in the publications of author's works.
For authors with an assigned researcher's code or registration code you can enter the code instead of the surname and name. If the code has less than 5 digits, you need to enter it with additional zeros in the front (e.g. 01234).
Instead of the name and surname you can also enter the CONOR.SI-ID – unique identification number of the author from the CONOR.SI authority database (e.g. 147043 is a unique identification number for writer Ivan Cankar).
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 enable bibliographic units to be displayed from the COBIB.SI shared bibliographic database.
The display of bibliographic units from COBIB.SI for a particular serial publication is possible only on the basis of the international standard serial number (ISSN) that you have to enter in the appropriate checkbox (if, for example, you enter the number 0352-1982, which is the ISSN of the journal named Arhitektov bilten (Architect's Bulletin), the display 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 issued in Slovenia.
Bibliographies via SICRIS can be prepared for researchers and experts who are registered with the Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS) as researchers and have a researcher’s code, provided that their bibliographic units are included in the COBISS.SI system. The reports can also be created for researchers that are entered into the SICRIS system outside of the ARRS records and that have a researcher registration number in the form of 4xxxx.
A representative bibliography of a researcher is a list of bibliographic units that a researcher wishes to present at a particular time. The list may contain up to ten bibliographic units selected by the researcher. A list of representative bibliographic units (a list of COBIB.SI IDs) can be selected and updated in the SICRIS system by the researchers themselves.
Personal bibliographies allow you to create different reports of bibliographic units of researchers from the shared COBIB.SI bibliographic database.
Citations of bibliographic records in COBIB.SI allow you to create different reports based on links between records in COBIB.SI and records in WoS or Scopus (citation by year, h-index, h-index with overview of citations by year, citation by year of publication, citation by journals, report of linked records) for researchers, organisations, groups, projects and programmes.
Evaluation of bibliographic indicators of research performance allows you to create bibliographies using the points awarding system according to the methodology of ARRS for researchers, organisations, groups, projects and programmes.
Bibliographic performance indicators for election to title enable a creation of point-based bibliography in accordance with the habilitation rules of the selected faculty.
These parameters will help you define the content and appearance of different bibliographies or reports (e.g. personal bibliographies, bibliographies of serials, research performance evaluation and citation reports). Some parameters appear in all bibliographies and reports, others only in certain bibliographies and reports.
Display of bibliographic units until the selected year of publication. If this field is empty, the bibliographic units are displayed until the newest publication year.
In bibliographic reports via SICRIS, the year of publication is entered by default, but it can be changed manually.
Display of bibliographic units until the selected year of publication. If this field is empty, the bibliographic units are displayed until the newest publication year.
In bibliographic reports via SICRIS, the current year is entered by default, but it can be changed manually.
You can choose one of the following bibliographic item report formats:
| ISO | ISO 690 – A standard for bibliographic references and citations information resources.
It is based on the standard ISO 690:2010 (Information and documentation – Guidelines for bibliographic
references and citations to information resources). |
| IEEE | The format of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers – most often used in
the technical field, especially in IEEE publications. |
| ISBD | International Standard Bibliographic Description. |
| ISBD (compacted) | ISBD in compressed form (displays all data that belongs to the ISBD standard, but in compressed
form – individual data in the bibliographic record is not displayed in a new line but are continued in the same line). |
| ISO (all authors) | ISO 690 with all secondary authors displayed. |
| ISO (no. of authors) | ISO 690 with number of authors displayed. |
| IEEE (no. of authors) | IEEE with number of authors displayed. |
| BibTeX | Format for exporting bibliographic data into other systems (e.g. ORCID). |
You can choose one of the following report formats:
| HTML | HTML format (Hyper Text Markup Language) is intended for displaying the bibliography in a web
browser. You can also use this format to present the bibliography on your own homepage. |
| XML | Structured report in the XML format (scheme,
graphical description)contains a set of bibliographic data
independent of the Bibliographic unit format parameter. |
| LaTeX | The format is intended for displaying a bibliography if the records are prepared using the LaTeX commands (for displaying mathematical formulas etc.). |
| Select the PDF format if you want to view the bibliography and print it. | |
| TXT | Select the TXT format if you want to view the bibliography and print it in plain text. |
Bibliography reports can be modified but all bibliographic units must keep their COBISS.SI-ID number.
By using this parameter you can define whether you want abstracts to be displayed in the bibliography (provided that the bibliographic unit has an abstract) or not. You can choose one of the following:
| no | Abstracts for the selected bibliographic units will not be displayed. |
| all | All abstracts will be displayed. |
| Local | Only abstracts in local language will be displayed. |
| English | Only abstracts in English will be displayed. |
In personal bibliographies, you can choose from the following options for classification of bibliographic units:
| typology, year - descending, title | Sorting first by the typology of
documents/works, within each type by the publication year from newest to oldest; within the same year by the resource title
(journal, proceedings, monograph title) and at the end by the work title.
|
| typology, year - ascending, title | Sorting first by the typology of
documents/works, within each type by the publication year from oldest to newest, within the same year by the resource title
(journal, proceedings, monograph title) and at the end by the work title.
|
| typology, impact factor, year - descending, title | Sorting first by the typology of
documents/works, within each article type by the impact factor from the JCR
and SNIP databases from the highest to the lowest value
(if the journal is in both databases, the highest value of the impact factor will be taken into account), within the impact factor by the publication
year from newest to oldest, within the same year by the resource title (journal, proceedings, monograph title) and at the end by the work title.
|
| typology, pure citations, year - descending, title | Sorting first by the typology of
documents/works, within each article type by the number of pure citations from the WoS/Scopus databases from highest to lowest (if citations
of an individual article are in both databases, the higher number of pure citations is taken into account), within the impact factor by the
publication year from newest to oldest, within the same year by the resource title (journal, proceedings, monograph title), and at the end by the
work title.
|
| typology, authors, year - descending, title | Sorting first by thetypology of
documents/works, within the same authors by the year of publication from newest to oldest, within the same year by the title of the
resource (title of the journal, proceedings or monograph) and at the end by the work title.
|
| title | Bibliographic units are sorted by the work title.
|
| authorship, title | Bibliographic units are sorted by type of authorship (e.g. author, editor, translator, director, etc.)
and within the type of authorship by the work title.
|
| material type, title | Bibliographic units are sorted by the type of material (e.g. book, poetry, scientific monograph, etc.)
and within the type of material by the work title.
|
| year - descending, title | Bibliographic units are sorted by the publication year from newest to oldest and within the same year by the work title.
|
| year, ascending, title | Bibliographic units are sorted by the publication year from oldest to newest and within the same year by the work title.
|
| language, year - ascending, title | Bibliographic units are sorted by language in which the work was published; within the same language by the publication year
from oldest to newest and within the same year by the work title.
|
The default value of the parameter is year – ascending, title. In personal bibliographies via the SICRIS system, the default value is typology, year – descending, title.
For bibliographic units that describe works published in journals with impact factor (IF – impact factor), links to the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) databases and to the Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) database will be displayed.
The JCR is a database which includes records with data on impact factor of journals from the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) databases of the Web of Science service. The COBISS.SI system includes data from 1994 onwards. The JCR database is only available to users in area of Slovenia (the computer domain must have the suffix .si).
JCR and SNIP databases are divided into two main groups in the COBISS.SI system: Science Edition (SE), which includes data from journals in the technical and scientific fields, and Social Science Edition (SSE), which includes data from journals in the field of social science ( SNIP also in the field of humanities). Both databases are available in COBISS+ via the links Journal impact factor.
Because the data on journal impact factors is calculated based on publications from previous years, the data according to the current year is always published with a delay. The data for the previous year is usually published in the summer months (e.g. the data on journal impact factors for the year 2017 is published in the summer of 2018). At that time, the JCR database is updated only with the data on journal impact factors for the previous year (this means that in 2018 it is updated with the data on impact factors for 2017). Then this added data is updated once more at the end of the year, when smaller corrections (errata) are published for the last published year. The SNIP database is also supplemented with journal impact factors for the previous year when it is updated (e.g. the data for 2017 is published in 2018); at the same time the data for previous years is also updated. In the SNIP database the impact factors are namely newly calculated also for previous years.
For individual articles, a link to the journal in JCR/SNIP databases is usually displayed in the report of the bibliography for the year when the article was published (e.g. in articles from 2015 a link to the journal in JCR/SNIP databases from 2015 is displayed). However, there are two exceptions. The first exception are articles published in this year or in the previous year when (until receiving new data) a link to the last publication of the JCR/SNIP databases is displayed (e.g. in articles from 2018 and 2019 the link to the journal in JCR/SNIP databases from 2017 is displayed until the data on impact factors for 2018 us received; after the data on impact factors for 2018 is received, the articles from 2018 and 2019 have a link to the journal in the JCR/SNIP databases from 2018). The second exception are articles published in the last two years before the first journal impact factor was assigned. If a journal received its first impact factor in 2016, the link to the journal in JCR/SNIP databases for 2016 is also displayed in articles that were published in 2015 and 2014.
For bibliographic units for which it is established that their bibliographic records are in Web of Science (WoS) and/or Scopus, a link to the corresponding records in the WoS and Scopus databases and the number of citations from both databases will be displayed (Explanations regarding links to COBISS.SI – WoS and COBISS.SI – Scopus). A link to records in WoS or Scopus is active only if you have access permission, which is determined in consortium agreements.
Altmetrics include the impact and reach of research on the Internet and anabled automated updating of new mentions and events. It includes data from social networks (Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc.), blogs, public access documents, news portals, journals, reference tools (Mendeley, etc.) and other information resources, e. g. Wikipedia, Youtube, Reddit, etc.
Altmetrics, as a non-traditional method of measuring impact, can supplement classical measuring methods, e.g. the number of citations and h-index. This method is not included in the automated evaluation of scientific research work.
You can choose from the following options:
| no | Altmetrics display is not active. |
| Altmetric and PlumX | For bibliographic units with identifier DOI or ISBN, the open access visibility display provided by Altmetric and PlumX is active. |
| Example: | |
| |
|
| Altmetric and PlumX
(condensed) |

Data is entered to the COBIB.SI bibliographic database and to the CONOR.SI authority database by qualified librarians in libraries and specialised information centres that are full members of the COBISS.SI system
As a rule, authors can choose a library or specialised information centre that will manage their personal bibliography. Usually, records for bibliographic units are entered and edited by the library at the institution where the author is employed. If the institution does not have a library, authors can choose a library that specializes in their field of research. In the library, authors will receive specific instructions on what they must provide so that their personal bibliography can be updated.
As a rule, the researcher’s code is given to a researcher by
the Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS) when they fulfil the
conditions for entry into the ARRS databases. One of the conditions
is that a researcher is employed in an organization that is
registered under ARRS as a research and development actor (http://www.arrs.gov.si/sl/evidreg/).
A request for entry into the ARRS register of researchers must be
sent to ARRS on the appropriate form. After the researcher has been entered
into the ARRS databases, the data will be automatically transferred
to the SICRIS information system (three times a week).
Data on the researcher who wishes to be presented in the SICRIS information system but does not fulfil the conditions for entry into the ARRS databases (e.g. a Slovenian researcher abroad) can be entered into the SICRIS system directly if they have obtained at least a university degree (under the “pre-Bologna” programme) or a second-cycle Bologna Master’s degree and their bibliography demonstrates their involvement in research. The request for entry into SICRIS must be sent electronically and in writing to IZUM using the form SICRIS-RR-1/2. The assigned registration code has the form 4xxxx. If a researcher plans to register with ARRS in the near future, we recommend that they do not fill out the form as their data will be automatically transferred to the SICRIS information system once they are registered with ARRS.
Until recently, IZUM assigned registration codes also in the form 9xxxx, which was intended exclusively for the purpose of managing personal bibliographies in the COBISS system and not for the presentation in the SICRIS system. The registration code in the form 9xxxx was granted also to non-researchers. Since September 2014 (Bibliographies, V5), a personal bibliography can be displayed directly on the basis of the CONOR.SI authority database. For this reason the researcher’s code and registration code are no longer necessary for displaying personal bibliography reports via COBISS.
The assigned code must be entered to the authority record for the author in the CONOR.SI database in order for the bibliography report, based on any code, to work. This is done by the library that updates and edits the author’s bibliography. After the author’s authority record has been automatically synchronised with the relevant bibliographic records in the COBIB.SI bibliographic database, a bibliography can be displayed based on the assigned researcher’s code.
Researchers who were previously given the registration code but later obtained the official researcher’s code by registering with ARRS must inform the library that manages their bibliography to change their authority record in the CONOR.SI authority database accordingly. A written notification must also be sent to IZUM to the following e-mail address: podpora@izum.si, so that their registration code, upon their request, will be blocked.
For the citations to be displayed in the bibliography, the
following basic conditions must be met:
The first condition for forming links between the COBIB.SI shared bibliographic database (COBIB.SI) and the Web of Science databases (WoS) is that the bibliographic record for the publications exists in WoS, or in other words, the publication is published in one of the serials indexed by the following databases0 (Web of Science Core Collection):
An article has a "full record" in WoS or Scopus if it is
included, along with its typical information (title, author(s),
journal, year, etc.), in one of the WoS (e.g. SCI, SSCI, A&HCI)
or Scopus databases and if it can be found in these databases on
the basis of this data. The condition for this is that such an
article is published in the journal that is indexed by one of the
WoS or Scopus databases.
The number of pure citations is the number of citations
without self-citations. A pure citation is defined as the citation
in which none of the authors cites himself/herself. If this is not
the case, the citation is considered a self-citation for all
authors cited in the article. Pure citations are defined in the
COBIB.SI shared bibliographic database and not in the WoS or Scopus
databases. The citations are defined on the basis of records for
the articles in COBIB.SI that are linked to the relevant records in
WoS or Scopus, whereby identification numbers of authors from the
CONOR.SI authority database of personal names are taken into
account.
Self-citations
A self-citation is created if there is at least one author who is the same author in the cited article and in the article citing the first article. If in both articles, the citing one and the cited one, at least one identical identification number from the CONOR.SI database of personal names appears, it is considered that the article citing the first article is a self-citation for all authors of the article.
Primer:
Authors A, B and C published an article X. The article X was later on cited in other four articles where the following authors were listed:
first article – authors A, B and C
second article – authors
A and B
third article – authors C, D and E
four
article – authors D in E
The citations in the first three articles are considered as self-citations for the authors of the article X. The citation in the fourth article is a pure citation, because the article was not written by authors A, B and C. The article X will have 4 citations, i.e. 3 self-citations and 1 pure citation in any bibliography ( personal bibliography, research group bibliography and organisation bibliography).
Send a message to podpora@izum.si
with the article COBISS.SI-ID and the corresponding data from WoS
or Scopus.
Note:
One of the more significant details that could have an
impact on the successful establishment of a link between the
records COBIB.SI–WoS and/or COBIB.SI–Scopus is the Digital Object
Identifier (DOI). If your article has a digital object identifier,
please alert your librarian to enter it to the bibliographic record
in COBIB.SI (subfield 017a).
If you find an error in one of the records in WoS, send a
request for correction via the link Clarivate analytics by clicking Request a data change in our databases.
If you find an error in one of the records in Scopus, send a request for correction via the Scopus website.
If in doubt, send a message to podpora@izum.si and we will forward your request to the appropriate service.
Usually, the main reason is the time-delay factor.
For articles with full records in WoS, another reason might be that only the citations from the articles published in journals that are indexed by SCI, SSCI and A&HCI are taken into account in the bibliography. The citations from the articles that appear, for example, in CPCI-S, SPCI-SSH, BKCI-S and BKCI-SSH (before 2011) are not taken into account.
The date, listed for each bibliographic unit in the
bibliography next to the link to Scopus (or WoS) is the last date
on which the data on citations in our database was updated based on
the data, obtained from the Scopus database. If a bibliographic
unit does not have any citations in Scopus yet, this date
represents the date on which the link between the records in
COBIB.SI and Scopus was established. If the software does not
detect any new citations in Scopus during the process of
checking/updating citations, the date will not change in our
database. By clicking on the link to Scopus you can view the
citations of this bibliographic unit in Scopus online. Because the
citation data in our databases is updated with a delay, the number
of citations in our database and in Scopus may not always match. A
delay of up to one month can occur for an article, if the article
was cited in Scopus shortly after it was checked/updated in our
database.
