The paper deals with quality of economic research in Slovakia, which is strongly connected with quality of economic education at Slovak universities. Quality of economic research is described by publication activity of Slovak professors of economics, who are usually the leaders in number of publications and citations and used to be internationally recognised.

The paper does not seek for possible roots or explanations of the situation. It only tries to describe the status quo and provide useful data and comparisons.
