The concept of smart public governance (SPG) is gaining attention among researchers, policymakers, and practitioners around the world, especially in response to the modernisation of public administration through emerging technologies in both local (smart city) and national (smart government) levels. Spurred by the noticeable lack of understanding of the SPG concept, the paper aims to comprehensively examine the SPG research by considering the characteristic differences between the smart city and smart government concepts. Bibliometric analysis is based on the Scopus database, containing 775 documents published in the last two decades and facilitated by several established and innovative bibliometric approaches. The results reveal the growth of SPG research over time. Despite the smart city concept being the dominant focus in the SPG research, the smart government concept has been becoming more relevant in recent years, as indicated by some prominent documents published in reputable journals like Government Information Quarterly. Moreover, Anglo-Saxon countries are chiefly engaged in SPG research. However, New Zealand and South Korea are identified as countries with a stronger focus on the smart government concept. The results show the smart city concept is connected with several smart-related initiatives (e.g., smart transportation, smart living, smart energy, etc.), while the smart government concept is primarily associated with smart (de)regulation and smart grid. The findings may add to the understanding of the future development of SPG research, on both local and national levels.

The article aims to describe the historical sequence, interrelatedness, and development of dominant and emerging research areas within the concentrated ownership literature. Moreover, it aims to determine the most influential articles, authors, journals, and countries in the field by applying a bibliometric analysis. The latter reveals that the future research concerning concentrated ownership should be more country-based and use consistent and more extended data sets. It should also apply different theoretical frameworks, profound institutional analysis, and look for cross-fertilization of ideas, which could be spread worldwide.

Energy-efficient retrofits (EERs) are probably the most cost-effective method to address energy poverty in the residential sector. However, actual EER rates are far below those called for in recent policy goals. A large body of literature has examined the determinants influencing households’ EER decisions but with scattered and contextually limited results. Consequently, there is a lack of a comprehensive quantitative analysis of the literature in this area. In this study, a detailed literature review and bibliometric analysis of the determinants of EERs was conducted to better understand the scope and evolution of knowledge in this area. Specifically, 1198 scientific documents were systematically examined, with 1000 terms included in the final analysis. In addition, a new approach to bibliometric analysis was adopted, examining the content of abstracts rather than keywords, allowing for a more detailed analysis. This work contains important contributions. First, the result of this research is a detailed overview of the determinants of EER in residential buildings, which can be divided into five main groups: information and policy measures, economic factors, socioeconomic characteristics of households, technical and building characteristics and behavioural factors. Second, I conducted a bibliometric analysis that visualises the current state of knowledge regarding the determinants of EER in the literature. The results show that several groups of these determinants have been identified in the literature, the most influential of which are thermal comfort, energy cost, sustainable retrofit and behaviour change. These groups include 83 factors that are most relevant in the literature. Third, this study provides the historical evolution of the most influential EER determinants over the past three decades. The study suggests that future energy policies should use a mix of approaches to promote EER to comprehensively address the identified groups of determinants and multiple aspects of household members’ decision-making process.

The emergence of digital technologies has profoundly affected and transformed almost every aspect of societal relations. These impacts have also reached public administration, including its governance. Digital technologies’ rise has paved the way for the surfacing of a new public governance model called the Digital Era Governance (DEG) model (often referred to as e-government, digital government, e-governance, or digital governance) in which digital technologies play a central role. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive and in-depth examination of DEG research over the past two decades. Bibliometric analysis is based on the Scopus database that contains 9175 documents published between 2001 and 2020. In this context, several established and innovative bibliometric approaches are applied. The results reveal the growth of DEG research over the last two decades, especially in recent years, as accelerated by several of the most relevant documents published in reputable journals such as Government Information Quarterly. Most DEG research has been conducted in Anglo-Saxon countries, as confirmed while examining the most relevant authors’ affiliations and collaborations. The results also indicate that DEG has advanced from conventional public services to citizen-oriented e-services by including citizens’ participation and, most recently, even to smart services by facilitating emerging and disruptive technologies. The findings add to the stock of scientific knowledge and support the evidence-based policymaking needed to successfully pursue a sustainable future. Nasl. z nasl. zaslona.

Sustainable tourism as a concept, and responsible tourism as its successful implementation, represent two major challenges for researchers in different academic fields and for tourism stakeholders in destinations responsible for sustainable tourism planning, policies, actions, and outcomes. This paper provides a bibliometric inventory of research published in the field of sustainable and responsible tourism (SRT). The results identify the publications on SRT author cooperation between countries and their nodes the disciplinary areas of SRT and the influential works, journals, and authors and the bibliometric clusters. The aim of the study was to determine whether SRT has merged into a single “responsustainable” tourism discourse that could shift the mainstream paradigm of sustainable tourism towards the full content of SRT. The analysis was unable to confirm this shift towards an expanded paradigm of SRT but the results do indicate that SRT will remain an important area of tourism research for the foreseeable future.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus emerged in Wuhan City, Hubei province of China at the end of 2019, has radically transformed the lives of people around the world. Due to its fast spreading, it is currently considered as a worldwide health, social and economic concern. The lack of knowledge on this area has encouraged academic sphere for extensive research, which is reflected in exponentially growing scientific literature in this area. However, current state of COVID-19 research reveals only early development of knowledge, while a comprehensive and in-depth overview remains neglected. Accordingly, the main aim of this paper is to fill the aforementioned gap in the literature and provide an extensive bibliometric analysis of COVID-19 research across science and social science research landscape, using innovative and sophisticated bibliometric approaches (e.g. Venn diagram, Biblioshiny descriptive statistics, VOSviewer co-occurrence network analysis, Jaccard distance cluster analysis, text mining based on logistic regression). The bibliometric analysis is based on the Scopus database including all relevant and latest information on COVID-19 related publications (n=16,866) in the first half of 2020. The empirical results indicate that there is still a lack of publications of COVID-19 and its implications in less-explored (non-health) sciences, especially in social sciences. Accordingly, the findings emphasize an importance of a comprehensive and in-depth approach considering different scientific disciplines in COVID-19 research. The understanding of the evolution of emerging scientific knowledge on COVID-19 is beneficial not only for scientific community but also for evidence-based policymaking in order to prevent and address the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objavljena dela raziskovalcev je v bibliografskih zbirkah podatkov pogosto težko sistematično poiskati. Avtorji so predstavljeni z različnimi okrajšavami in oblikami imen, imajo soimenjake ipd. Enolična identifikacija bi bila možna z identifikatorji kot so ORCID, WOS-ID ali Scopus-ID. V našem delu smo preverili stanje na tem področju za raziskovalce Oddelka za agronomijo BF UL (OA). Preliminarna analiza je pokazala, da so podatki pomanjkljivi, zato smo raziskovalcem poslali navodila za izboljšave. Ker tudi kasneje številni podatki še niso bili ustrezno urejeni, smo lahko najbolj popolno bibliometrično analizo za OA pripravili s pomočjo identifikatorjev Scopus-ID, ki se generirajo avtomatsko. Analiza z uporabo analitičnega orodja v Scopusu kaže, da raziskovalci večinoma objavljajo v revijah, ki so klasificirane s predmetno kategorijo Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Revije, v katerih najpogosteje objavljajo so Acta agriculturae Slovenica, Acta Horticulturae in Scientia Horticulturae. S programom VOSviewer smo pripravili vizualizacijo za avtorstvo, sodelovanje, citiranost, izbor revij za objavo in vsebinsko analizo. Rezultati kažejo, da je večina dokumentov napisanih v soavtorstvu slovenskih avtorjev, zlasti v okviru kateder oddelka. Raziskovalci v zadnjem obdobju manj sodelujejo s soavtorji iz ZDA in nekoliko več iz evropskih držav (Nemčija, Srbija, Italija in Hrvaška). Z vidika citiranja se skupina za hortikulturo manj povezuje z ostalimi področji, kar se kaže tudi pri sopojavljanju konceptov. Iz vidika vsebine izstopi nekaj večjih področij: rastlinska genetika, kemijska analiza sadnih rastlin, onesnaženost tal, varstvo rastlin in drugo. Published works of researchers are often difficult to find systematically in bibliographic databases. Authors are denoted by various abbreviations and name forms, have namesakes, etc. Unique identification would be possible through the use of identifiers such as ORCID, WOS-ID or Scopus-ID. In our work, we examined the state in this field for the researchers of the Department of Agronomy BF UL. A preliminary analysis showed that the data was deficient so we provided the researchers with the instructions for improvements. As the data remained insufficiently edited, we were able to prepare the most complete bibliometric analysis for the department using Scopus-ID identifiers, which are generated automatically. An analysis utilising the Scopus analytical tool indicates that the researchers most often publish in journals classified in the subject category of Agricultural and Biological Sciences. The journals in which they most often publish are Acta agriculturae Slovenica, Acta Horticulturae and Scientia Horticulturae. Using the VOSviewer program, we prepared a visualisation for the authorship, collaboration and citation as well as the publishing journals and content analysis. The results show that the majority of the documents is co-authored by Slovenian authors, especially within the departments. In the recent period, the researchers have been collaborating less with co-authors from the USA and slightly more from the European countries (Germany, Serbia, Italy and Croatia). From the viewpoint of citation, the horticulture group is less connected with other areas, which is also reflected in the co-occurrence of concepts. From the perspective of content, several major areas stand out: plant genetics, chemical analysis of fruit plants, soil pollution, plant protection and others.

V magistrski nalogi smo raziskali možnosti dostopa do raziskovalnih rezultatov doktoratov. Tiskani doktorati vsebujejo raziskovalne podatke, ki so pogosto spregledani, saj se nahajajo v prilogah. V e-okolju lahko raziskovalni podatki postanejo dragocen vir, če so odloženi in upravljani v ustrezni obliki, ki omogoča souporabo. Na vzorcu 226 doktoratov z desetih področij Filozofske fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani iz obdobja 2010-2015 smo analizirali raziskovalne podatke v prilogah. 63% vseh doktoratov vsebuje priloge, razlike v disciplinah so v obsegu prilog in tipih predstavitve podatkov. Arheologija in umetnostna zgodovina sta disciplini z najobsežnejšimi prilogami, filozofija in psihologija pa z najmanj obsežnimi. V drugem delu raziskave smo z bibliometrijsko analizo na vzorcu 112 doktorjev znanosti, ki so doktorirali leta 2013 na desetih oddelkih Filozofske fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani, ugotavljali, koliko izvirnih znanstvenih člankov in znanstvenih monografij so objavili v času študija in obdobju do treh let po zagovoru doktorata. Podatke smo pridobili v sistemu Sicris. Ugotovili smo, da je samo 53 doktorjev znanosti objavilo vsaj en izvirni znanstveni članek, samo 18 pa vsaj eno znanstveno monografijo. 53 doktorjev znanosti je skupaj objavilo 210 izvirnih znanstvenih člankov, od tega jih je samo polovica izšla v revijah, indeksiranih v Scopus in/ali Web of Science. Ker so raziskovalni rezultati doktoratov tako slabo dostopni, je še bolj pomembno, da visokošolske knjižnice sodelujejo v procesu oddaje doktoratov in raziskovalnih podatkov v odprte repozitorije in podatkovne arhive. Visokošolske knjižnice so bile vedno ključne za ohranjanje znanstvene komunikacije. To vlogo bodo ohranile, če bodo prevzele upravljanje in ohranjanje tudi raziskovalnih podatkov ter tako povečale možnosti dostopa do njih. We have conducted a research to check different options to access the research results of dissertations. Print dissertations contain research data which are often overlooked as they can be found in appendices. In the E-Environment they can become a valuable source if they are managed and preserved in an appropriate form, which enables them to be reused and the data can be shared. The research is based on the assessment of 226 dissertation appendices from ten disciplines (humanities and social science) submitted between 2010 and 2015 at the Faculty of Arts, the University of Ljubljana, from which we obtained the empirical evidence of what types of research data they contain. The results showed that 63% of dissertations contain appendices with some sort of research data the appendices of different disciplines vary in scope and the data presentation types. The appendices within Archeology and Art History are the most extensive, while the least extensive appendices are found within Philosophy. In the second part a bibliometric analysis has been made to find out how many scientific articles and monographs were published by 112 authors of dissertations in 5 years. All the data have been acquired from Slovenian Current Information System (Sicris). Only 53 authors had published at least one scientific article and only 18 authors had published a scientific monograph based on research results from dissertations. 53 authors had published 210 scientific articles altogether and only a half of them had been published in scientific journals indexed in Scopus or Web of Science. As the research results of dissertations are not easily accessible, we suggest that the university libraries offer assistance and advice for PhD students in managing their research data and help them publish in open repositories and open data archives. The university libraries have always played a vital role in preserving scientific communication. They will keep this role by managing, preserving and, therefore, providing easier access to research data as well.

magistrsko delo

Sistematično smo analizirali objave Oddelka za lesarstvo Biotehniške fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani. Za identifikacijo vseh dokumentov objavljenih do vključno novembra 2009 smo preizkusili in izbrali najustreznejše ukaze v ukaznem iskanju slovenske vzajemne bibliografsko-kataložne baze podatkov in sistema COBIB/COBISS. Za nadaljnjo analizo objav smo zgradili lastno eksperimentalno bazo podatkov, v kateri so zbrani vsi pridobljeni podatki. Bibliometrična analiza je zajela objave vseh avtorjev oddelka glede na leto izida in jezik besedila ter objave raziskovalcev še zaposlenih na oddelku v letu 2009 in članke razkropljene po revijah. Identificirali smo 5078 različnih objav oddelka, vpisanih v bazo z vsemi potrebnimi šiframi. Število objav se je z leti poviševalo, največji porast je zaznati po letu 1990. Med tipi dokumentov v skupini Monografije in druga zaključena dela številčno prednjači diplomsko delo s šifro 2.11, v skupini Članki in drugi sestavni deli je največ izvirnih znanstvenih člankov s šifro 1.01, medtem, ko izvedenih del (dogodkov) s šifro oddelka v bazi podatkov ni zaslediti. Največ objav (80 %) je napisanih v slovenskem jeziku, med tujimi jeziki pa prevladuje angleški (17 % vseh objav). Najrazličnejši članki so razkropljeni po 146 slovenskih in tujih revijah. Pri 24 izbranih raziskovalcih so števila objav na posameznega v razponu med 773 in 6. Samo s standardnimi osnovnimi iskalnimi ukazi baze podatkov COBIB ni mogoče dobiti popolne bibliografije Oddelka za lesarstvo. Pojavljajo se pomanjkljivi vnosi ter napake, in sicer 69 vnosov brez šifre tipologije in 225 brez šifre ustanove. Izdelali smo tudi seznam dokumentov, na osnovi katerega bo knjižnica lahko po potrebi dopolnila bibliografijo oddelka z manjkajočimi podatki. Thesis systematically analyses publications of the Department of Wood Science and Technology of the Biotechnical Faculty of the University of Ljubljana. For the purposes of identification of all publications until November 2009 inclusive, we examined and selected the most suitable commands in the command search of the Slovenian catalogue and COBIB/COBISS system. For a further analysis of publications, we set up our own experimental database, including all of the acquired data. The bibliometric analysis covered publications of all Department authors according to publication year and language, as well as publications of researchers still employed at the Department in 2009, and articles scattered among various journals. We identified 5078 different Department publications recorded in the database with all the required codes. The number of publications was gradually increasing it was the highest after 1990. Among document types in the Monographs group and other completed works the highest number belongs to graduation theses with code 2.11, among the Articles group and other component parts the highest number belongs to original scientific articles with code 1.01, whereas performed works (events) with the department number cannot be detected in the database. The majority of publications (80 %) is written in Slovene, while English prevails among foreign languages (17 % of all publications). A wide variety of articles is scattered among 146 Slovene and foreign journals. Among 24 selected researchers the numbers of publications per individual range from 773 and 6. It is not possible to obtain a complete bibliography of the Department by means of standard basic search commands of COBIB database. Data deficiency and errors appear 69 records have no typology code and 225 records no institution code. We have also created a list of documents providing a basis for the library to complete the department bibliography with the missing data.

Naloga temelji na ugotavljanju skupnega števila originalnih znanstvenih in preglednih znanstvenih člankov, objavljenih v reviji Les od začetka izhajanja 1949 do konca 2005 ter nekaterih njihovih osnovnih bibliografskih in vsebinskih značilnostih. Na osnovi rezultatov smo ugotavljali razvoj revije skozi čas. Članke smo zbrali s pomočjo slovenskega nacionalno bibliografsko-kataložnega informacijskega sistema Cobiss. Starejše članke smo ročno analizirali s pomočjo pregleda tiskanih zvezkov revije Les. Za nadaljnjo analizo bibliometričnih kazalcev revije smo zgradili lastno eksperimentalno podatkovno zbirko, kjer so združeni vsi pridobljeni podatki. Število člankov na posamezno številko se je z leti poviševalo. Največji porast je zaznati po letu 1980 ter zlasti po letu 1990, ko je bilo napisanih več kot polovica vseh člankov. Izvleček v angleščini je danes postal pravilo, medtem ko so se v zgodnejših letih pojavljali izvlečki v nemščini. Razvoj revije je viden tudi skozi grafično opremljenost ta se je izboljševala, saj so danes vsi znanstveni prispevki večinoma opremljeni s preglednicami in grafikoni, medtem ko v začetnem obdobju niso bili. Teme oz. vsebine smo določili po lastni presoji: prevladujejo ekologija, tehnologija, ekonomija, zaščita lesa, lesna kemija, les v gradbeništvu, varstvo pri delu. Avtorje smo analizirali po številu prispevkov na avtorja, glede na soavtorstvo ter ustanovo. Ročno vnesene članke iz starejših številk lahko uporabi tudi knjižnica za časovno dopolnitev bibliografije v sistemu Cobiss. The thesis is based on establishing the total number of original scientific and review scientific papers published in the Les (Wood) journal from the beginning of publishing in 1949 to the end of 2005, along with establishing some basic bibliographic and content characteristics. The results served to determine the progress of the journal during this period. The articles were collected with the support of the Slovenian national bibliographic and cataloguing information service Cobib/Cobiss. The older articles were manually analysed by evaluating hard-copy journal issues. To analyse bibliometric indexes further an experimental database merging and combining the retrieved data was built. The number of articles per journal issue was growing through the years. The growth was more manifest after 1980, and especially after 1990, with the later period producing more than half of all articles. The English abstracts have become imperative, supplanting German abstracts of the earlier years. The increasing advancement of the journal can also be observed through the graphic layout. In contrast to the earlier period, the more recent articles consistently include tables and charts. In our own estimation we determined the prevailing topics or article-contents: ecology, technology, economy, wood protection, chemistry, wood in building industry, and safety at work. Authors were analysed on the basis of the numberof articles per author, co-authorship, and institution. Our manual input of earlier articles can facilitate the library updates of bibliographic data in the system Cobiss.
