Notes

  1. Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

  2. The ComSIS Consortium is a group of leading scientific institutions from universities in Serbia including the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, who jointly publish the ComSIS journal.

  3. Due to our familiarity with the Serbian mathematics scene it was quite reasonable to assume that the majority of eLib authors are male.

  4. http://alias-i.com/lingpipe/.

  5. http://www.originlab.com/.

  6. The article "Serbian Virtual Observatory" published in "Review of the National Center for Digitization" in 2009 is the article with the highest number of authors per paper.

  7. The last joint eLib paper of Ranko Bojanić and Miloš Tomić is dedicated to the memory of Slobodan Aljančić with whom they co-authored their first eLib paper.

  8. The paper has title ”Une simple méthode pour obtenir la décomposition effective de Wold dans le cas des chaines de Markoff de corélations stationnaires“, and is published in ”Matematički Vesnik”.
