The purpose of our study was to evaluate Slovenia's contribution to research in ophthalmology over a period of 18 years (1991 - 2009) including not only ophthalmologists but also other researchers. The aim of the study was to determine the relative contribution, quantitatively and qualitatively, to research in ophthalmology and to determine the trend over the period. The first authors as well as their institutes were evaluated.
A bibliometric analysis was performed using the database of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) 2007 report. All articles published in the top 45 ophthalmology journals listed in the ISI 2007 report were analysed.
A total of 187 170 articles have been published in these journals in the given period of time. Slovenia's ophthalmologists and other researchers published 75 articles or 0.040 % of all publications. The articles were published in 21 of the 45 listed journals. Two were excluded from the study because they were only abstracts. In 8 articles the first author was not a Slovenian ophthalmologist. At the end, 65 articles remained in the study. 22 different Slovenian ophthalmologists were found as first author among these journals. Comparing ophthalmologists and other researchers, ophthalmologists produced 57 from 65 articles or 87.69 %. 13 from 22 ophthalmologists had published only one paper, accounting for 22.8 % (13 of 57) of total first authors. There were 47 articles with one or more co-authors (82.5 %) and 10 papers with a single author, which represent 17.5 % of total papers. There was only one first author who issued more than 10 articles (13 from 57 or 22.8 %). All the contribution came from two university clinical centres, Ljubljana (27 articles or 47.37 %) and Maribor (30 articles or 52.63 %). Three authors contributed to 45.6 % of all papers. Two-thirds of articles were published in English and one-third in German language.
Although the number of articles published by Slovenia's ophthalmologists is increasing over the last 8 years there is a need to increase the quality and quantity of clinical research in ophthalmology and to involve more ophthalmologists in research work to support these trends.
我们研究的目的是评估斯洛文尼亚在18年期间（1991 - 2009年）对眼科研究的贡献，其中不仅包括眼科医生，还包括其他研究人员。该研究的目的是从数量和质量上确定对眼科研究的相对贡献，并确定这一时期的趋势。对第一作者及其所在机构进行了评估。
使用科学信息研究所（ISI）2007年报告的数据库进行文献计量分析。对ISI 2007年报告中列出的前45种眼科期刊上发表的所有文章进行了分析。
在给定时间段内，这些期刊共发表了187170篇文章。斯洛文尼亚的眼科医生和其他研究人员发表了75篇文章，占所有出版物的0.040%。这些文章发表在45种列出的期刊中的21种上。有两篇因只是摘要而被排除在研究之外。在8篇文章中，第一作者不是斯洛文尼亚眼科医生。最后，研究中保留了65篇文章。在这些期刊中，发现22位不同的斯洛文尼亚眼科医生作为第一作者。比较眼科医生和其他研究人员，65篇文章中有57篇由眼科医生撰写，占87.69%。22位眼科医生中有13位仅发表了一篇论文，占第一作者总数的22.8%（57篇中的13篇）。有47篇文章有一名或多名共同作者（82.5%），10篇文章为独著，占论文总数的17.5%。只有一位第一作者发表了超过10篇文章（57篇中的13篇，占22.8%）。所有贡献均来自两个大学临床中心，卢布尔雅那（27篇文章，占47.37%）和马里博尔（30篇文章，占52.63%）。三位作者贡献了所有论文的45.6%。三分之二的文章用英语发表，三分之一用德语发表。
尽管斯洛文尼亚眼科医生发表的文章数量在过去8年中有所增加，但仍有必要提高眼科临床研究的质量和数量，并让更多眼科医生参与研究工作以支持这些趋势。
