Abstrakt
Thesis/Objective – This paper presents the results of bibliometric analysis of the metadata of 16095 articles about academic libraries published be- tween 2000 and 2019, extracted from the Library, Information Science and Tech- nology Abstracts (LISTA) database. The aim of the authors of this paper was to find out about the growth of research on academic libraries and also about the authors’ choice of the place of publica- tion (journals with and without IF). Method – In order to achieve the set goals, the following research methods were used: bibliometric analysis, method of do- cument analysis, method of literature review, comparative method. Results – The study confirmed that the journals with IF, despite some doubt regarding the Im- pact Factor as such, enjoyed a growing interest of authors throughout the whole analysed period, while the number of articles published in journals without IF clearly decreased.
