Published results of the scientific research, predominantly in scientific journals, are the basic properties of the scientific information and communication. Bibliometrics and its methods systematically collect these data, and further evaluate and analyse them. Therefore the central part of the paper contains data on the quantitative properties of the journal Zbornik Biotehniske fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani. Kmetijstvo. Zootehnika (Research Reports Biotechnical Faculty University of Ljubljana. Agricultural Issue. Zootechnica). The comparative analysis of two periods 1986-1987 and 1996-1997 has shown relatively high number of one-authored articles (34.6 % and 30.3 %). Authors are predominantly from Slovenia, but their articles in the second period were mostly written in English (56 %, 80 %). The analysis of cited items has shown that this is not the only difference between the two periods. The cited items are much newer (mostly articles from distinguished international journals). Almost half of them are less than five years old. Also the scope of journals in which the cited articles were published is much broader. These can be taken as a sign of greater involvement in the international scientific research. Questions of further journal growth, mostly regarding bilingual nature of the journal are the suggestions that authors might be giving to the editors. In the future, the results will be checked with a data analysis for the longer period and compared with similar international journals.
