Abstract: Practically all systems of financing research work to some degree deal with how to provide maximum quality of research work and how to ensure a good ratio between the invested means and the end result. As opposed to the private sector where the main indicator of success is profitability, other mechanisms to maximizing effects must be found in the public sector, whose important part is also research. One of the conditions for achieving efficiency is ensuring transparency on all levels of the system in question. This paper deals with the concept of transparency of monitoring research results with COBISS (Co-operative Online Bibliographic System and Services) and SICRIS (Slovenian Current Research Information System).
