At seventy anniversary of the publication Knjižnica an analysis of the journal bibliometric dimension was made, including contributor attributes, various author rankings, and citation impact. This paper reports on the results of quantitative bibliometric analysis of the last six years (2011-2016) of the Slovenian professional journal in the field of Library and information science and is based on the long tradition of Knjižnica's bibliometric analysis. These results are informative in various ways including authors, their institutions and countries and the analysis of citations from the journal. Only papers labelled as "research" were analysed. (1) The article productivity of the journal from 2011 to 2016, (2) the authorship productivity, identification and listing of core authors; (3) the authorship and co-authorship pattern; (4) the subject areas of published papers; (5) the citation analysis of resources referenced as well as their age. Due to the amount of papers with historical scope, some of the analysis was hard to perform. This research work provides an overview of the current state of LIS research journal publishing in Slovenia, focusing on data of the kind that may be collected by directly examining the published issues of the journal itself.
