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 Macedonia (E-CRIS) under the condition that their bibliographic units are included in the COBISS system.
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.
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.
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. Горгиев Ванцо instead of Ѓорѓиев Ванчо). 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 enable bibliographic units to be displayed from the COBIB shared bibliographic database.
You can search for serials by using the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), the serial title or keywords. If you enter 0039-2294, which is the ISSN of the journal Стремеж: списание за литературни, културни и општествени прашања, 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.
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.

|
| 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 typology, year – descending, title.
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) |
For bibliographic units with identifier DOI or ISBN, the open access visibility display in condensed form provided by Altmetric and PlumX is active. |
| Example: | |
|
|
Altmetric display is possible only in the HTML display format, in the ISO bibliographic unit format or IEEE.
You can select from the following languages to display your bibliography:
| Macedonian |
| English |
The main title and the subtitles are displayed in the selected language. The bibliographic units are displayed as they are entered in the COBIB database regardless of which language is selected for the bibliography.
Enter the email address where you want to receive the bibliography (e.g. firstname.lastname@xxx.xxx).
Exclusion of single bibliographic units
A standard report includes all bibliographic units of the author in the selected period. If you want to include only specific bibliographic units in the report, click the Exclusion of single bibliographic units.
If you selected sorting by typology, a list of bibliographic units sorted by typology is displayed. You can exclude an entire type or a single bibliographic unit. If you did not select sorting by typology, a list of bibliographic units sorted by title is displayed.
The creation of a list can take a long time, depending on the number of included bibliographic units.
A click on the CREATE REPORT button activates the process for creating a report of a bibliography according to the given input parameters.
If the parameter Send to email address is empty, the bibliography will automatically be displayed at the web address. If the parameter Send to email address is specified, the bibliography will be sent to the indicated email address.
The creation of the report may take a while, depending on the number of bibliographic items included.

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 Macedonia
(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.
