Sažetak
RAD Croatian Academy Sciences and Arts (RAD CASA) is one of the oldest Croatian scientific journals, published in continuity from 1867. In this paper, we will present the historical context relevant to the establishment of the first Croatian scientific journals and explore their importance for Croatia’s nation- building process. Our emphasis will be on medical journals, among which an important place belongs to RAD CASA – Medical Sciences. This journal, which was established as a separate series within RAD CASA in 1951, had issues with continuity until 2006, when new editorial board was elected. Since then, the journal has been included as an open access journal on HRČAK, the portal of Croatian scientific and professional journals, and is being published in English, which contributes to its inter- national visibility and availability. Since 2019 the journal is being published in two double issues per year and has an expanded number of different sections and an increasing number of contributions. In the journal’s 70-year history, RAD CASA – Medical Sciences published 582 articles authored by 1012 researchers and occupying 8010 pages. During this time, nine members of the Academy’s Department of Medical Sciences served as editors of the journal. At the end of 2022, RAD CASA – Medical Sciences has more than 500.000 visits on the HRČAK portal, and its international visibility is also rising, especially on Google Scholar.
