The analysis of 3,759 articles and other journal contributions from 12 Scopus-indexed journals, using select digital humanities tools and methods, reveals that themes concerning Slovenia’s path to independence, though less frequent overall, exhibit a dynamic pattern of regular occurrence, influenced by commemorations and special issues of journals. This suggests growing scholarly interest over time. The analysis identified four key thematic groups: Socio-cultural, Political, Religious, and Yugoslavia themes. Furthermore, metadata analysis indicates a balanced distribution of male and female first authors and equitable thematic accessibility across publication languages. These findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of how Slovenian Scopus-indexed history journals engage with this critical topic.20242026-07-02 09:19:53Delo ni kategorizirano30769UDK: 009, 94(497.4)ISSN pri članku: 1408-5348DOI: 10.19233/ASHS.2024.35COBISS_ID: 221169923slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
