Z bibliometrijskimi metodami je mogoče kvantitativno ovrednotiti značilnosti prispevkov in pridobiti dodatno znanje o raziskovalnem delu avtorjev. V prispevku so prikazani rezultati bibliometrijske analize revije Zbornik gozdarstva in lesarstva, v kateri je bilo zajetih 593 prispevkov, objavljenih od njegovih začetkov v letu 1950 do vključno leta 2004. Analizirano je številočlankov v letu, število avtorjev, citatov, samocitatov ter oprema člankov s preglednicami in slikami. V povprečju je število sodelujočih avtorjev manjše od dveh, večina (68 %) jih prihaja iz treh institucij, ki izdajajo revijo, ženske pa sestavljajo 17 % delež. V povprečju so prispevki pripravljeni s pomočjo 23 virov, od katerih sta 2 samocitata, opremljeni pa sos 3 - 4 preglednicami in 4 - 5 slikami. Prispevki so v 91 % pisani v slovenskem jeziku. Od začetkov izhajanja revije ostaja primarni vir literaturepisan v slovenskem jeziku (34 %), od katerih jih je 24 % objavljenihv samem Zborniku ali Gozdarskem vestniku ali zbirki Strokovna in znanstvena dela. V začetku devetdesetih so kot drugi najpomembnejši jezik literature angleško pisani viri izpodrinili nemške.Bibliometric methods are a quantitative method of measuring characteristics ofpublished articles with which new knowledge about the scientists\u27 work is acquired The article presents the results obtained by bibliometric analysis ofthe journal "Research reports: Forestry and Wood Science Technology", in which 593 articles published in it since its beginnings in 1950 until 2004 were processed. The analysis embraced the number of articles in separate years, number of authors, citations, self-citations and the structure of articles with tables and figures. Separate articles are usually written by less than two authors, most of them (68 %) employed by the three journal\u27s publishing institutions. Only 17 % of the authors are females. The average number of quotations is 23, 2 of which are self-citationthey are provided with 3 - 4 tables and 4 - 5 figures. In 91 %, the articles are written in Slovene language. From the beginning of the journal\u27s existence, Slovene references have remained the primary source of literature (34 %), 24 % of which have been published in the journal itself, in the "Slovenian Journal of Forestry", or in the collection "Professional and scientific works".
