Animal science, production and protection: bibliometric evaluation of bibliographic data in documents published in Slovenia between 1994–2000
2002
Tomaž BARTOL
We evaluated bibliographic elements in 790 documents related to animal science, production and protection from among 2844 documents (D) published in Slovenia between 1994–2000 and indexed by the Slovenian Agris Centre for inclusion in Agris database. Yearly output differed due to intensive production of proceedings papers in certain years. About 69% of D were published in Slovenian language and 27% in English. Among 675 authors, 371 authors published only one D, and 7 published 20 or more D. More than 50 D were written by 5 to 10 co-authors, and 313 D by only one author. Slovenians accounted for the majority of authors, as expected. Croatia, Hungary and Germany accounted for the majority of foreign D. Among university-affiliated contributors, there was slight advantage of the Veterinary Faculty of the University of Ljubljana over the Biotechnical Faculty and its Zootechnical Department. Most D (735) were journal articles, 181 proceedings papers, and 126 were articles in journal supplements. The final selection of 790 records was strongly impacted by the existing Agris classification scheme. We included most D pertaining to various aspects of animal production, physiology, and health. We had to exclude food and feed-related D, however, because these categories do not differentiate between plant/crop-related and animal-related topics. The existing schemes, nevertheless, use the same criteria for different (sub)disciplines, e.g. animal and plant/ crop science, forestry, wood technology, food/ feed science, so they present a possibility for comparison of (sub)disciplines.
