Protislovja vrednotenja znanstvenega dela: Kako določiti pravo znanstveno založbo?
The paper analyes model of evaluation of monographic scientific publications as proposed in Slovene Regulations on evaluation of scientific achievcements. The paper points out that Regulations failed to grasp the inner dynamics of contemporary publishing industry; as a consequence, the works pubished by publishing services are threated as equall to monographies published by serious scientific publishers that are not included on the list of scientific publishers as proposed in Regulations Therefore, Regulations widely open door to subjective judgements and do not allow serious evaluation of scientific publications. The author points out that one of the main reasons for such state of affairs could be find in the fact that the team that prepared Regualtions did not include specialists for evaluation and organization of knowledge.

Academic books: scientific and similar monographs in Slovenia from 2013 to 2023
The basis for the analysis of scientific and similar monographs (academic books) in Slovenia in the period from 2013 to 2023 were bibliographic records in the COBIB.SI database that contain also information on the type of scientific publication (for less than half of the records verified). During this period, an average of 520 to 1245 monographs were published annually (depending on which types of works are counted as academic books and how reissues, such as reprints, new editions and e-books, are treated).
Dialectical reflections on scientific and professional e-journals
The paper presents the contributions of participants at the consultation on scientific and professional publications on e-journals at the beginning of the 1990s, which was organised at the Institute of Information Science (IZUM) in Maribor in December 1991. The emphasis is also placed on IZUM's e-bulletin, which was entered into one of the first directories of e-journals and other e-bulletins worldwide from the same year. Communication is the essence of scientific progress, particularly e-journals.
Slovenian scientific journals in 2021
Based on (1) the lists of Slovenian scientific journals in international databases used to evaluate publications by Slovenian researchers, (2) regular government calls for support of scientific journals, and (3) a more detailed review of the main international bibliographic databases for this system (SNIP, JCR, SJR), we can conclude that 219 Slovenian journals with scientific articles were published in 2021. Every second journal was founded after 1990, and about 60% of them belong to social sciences and humanities. Their publishers are Slovenian institutions and the journals are diamond journals: only 7.7% of journals are affiliated with major global publishers and only 3.7% use APC (Article Processing Charge).

Dissemination of knowledge: process systematization and its implementation
Dissemination proved to be a complex process that can take very diverse paths with questionable outcomes if not shaped correctly. And there are variety of views in research communities and the society of what the dissemination is. In such a situation it is natural to develop a more solid comprehension of the concept and, based on this, a model of the environment for the dissemination.
