The evaluation of terminological papers

Sažetak
The journal \emph{Lahor} gives regularly
papers dealing with terminological issues of the subject fields covered by
\emph{Lahor.} Reading some of these papers we can notice the inconsistencies in
their classification. The same problem can be noticed in other journals which
publish papers dealing with terminology. Namely, it is not clear when should
such works be classified as scholarly (scientific) and when as technical or as
papers giving an overview of the field. It seems that the key of this problem
is that terminology is an interdisciplinary science and in order to give a
relevant terminological contribution it is necessary to give a detailed
overview of the state of the art in the field that the terminological paper
deals with. On the other hand authors sometimes invent their own terminology
while dealing with some other issues, not terminology. Therefore, in this paper
the author gives an overview of terminology as a scientific discipline, and
explains terminological principles which should be taken into consideration
when trying to analyze and evaluate different terms in a discipline. She then
proceeds to analyze the ways different terminological papers have been
classified in \emph{Lahor}. She thinks that a paper should be classified as
scholarly if the author, after analyzing the ways terminology is used in all
relevant sources of a given field, using terminological principles gives his
own suggestions and contributions to the standardization of terminology of a
given field. In order to help the future authors and reviewers the terminogy
principles are given and explained in this paper.
