Publicly Available Bibliographies of Serbian Researchers
– Conditions and Perspectives

Summary

The bibliographies of Serbian researchers are a valuable source of information about the local research outputs. They also play an important role in the system of evaluation of scientific results of individuals, project teams and scientific institutions. In Serbia there is no nationwide uniform platform that would enable a full insight into bibliographic information about the publications of currently active researchers. This paper provides a historical overview of bibliographic tracking of the research outputs in Serbia. It presents earlier bibliographic databases and various modern electronic services that index scientific publications of Serbian researchers. Through an analysis of the advantages and shortcomings of these sources of information, the author comes to the conclusion that in Serbian libraries there are various bibliographic databases which are not integrated and interoperable. The solution to this problem can be found in the inclusion of all the libraries in E-CRIS (Electronic Current Research Information System) or compiling bibliographies of the researchers using ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID).
