Sažetak
There are in Croatia 241 journals appearing at least twice a
year. They make for about 2/3 of those periodic publications
whose contents are recorded in the Croatian Bibliography.
Series B, contributions in journals and proceedings. Their scientific
communicability (sci.comm.) was evaluated by four indicators:
peer review, language, timeliness/regularity, and foreign
authorship; journals from the natural and applied-technical
sciences (NT) faired considerably better than those from the
social sciences and humanities (SH). This dichotomy was also
apparent in the 1990 to 1995 comparison. Although there
were no dramatic changes, the sci. comm. did improve, and
more so for the NT-journals. New SH-journals more frequently
appeared and ceased. Hence, the criteria for decision making
in science policy must not be identical for all types of journals.
The results of the sci. comm. evaluation by our method is
congruent with the coverage of Croatian journals in the international
secondary information services. This flow into the “capillary”
system of scientific information exchange leads to a
reasonable “visibility” of Croatian journals via the ISI-journals.
