Summary/Abstract: Scientific publications are important output of innovation process, bringing new information, knowledge, scientific practices etc. that can have a positive impact on regional development. These publications are usually produced by academic research organizations, where mostly universities or other public research institutions can be included (e.g. Slovak Academy of Sciences). The aim of the paper is to use the three-year moving averages to give a spatial analysis of the most important categories of scientific publications (current contents publications, current contents citations, scientific monographs) in relation to research and development employees (at universities and public research institutions) in regions of Slovakia in years 2005-2017. In the case of the current contents publications and citations, the Bratislava and Košice regions dominated in the studied period; in the case of scientific monographs we observe leadership positions of the Prešov and Trnava regions. The regions of Trenčín and Žilina were ranked in the last places within the regions of Slovakia, due to the strong industrial base and the relatively weak tradition of university research in case of the Trenčín region.
