Abstract
Napredak, a journal for pedagogical theory and practice, is one of the oldest magazines in Croatia. The first issue came out in 1859 when many recognised pedagogues were active, and numerous pedagogical schools and ideas were strongly influencing the development of education. In this paper, the author analyses some important features of Napredak in the past decade (2000-2009).
The results of a survey show that 40 issues were published in the covered period, containing a total of 5,315 pages. They include 609 papers written by 554 authors. The contents are divided into 21 sections. Out of a total number of published papers, 357 papers were classified into one of the research categories, and the most frequent
ones were review papers (29.1%). The journal was managed by five editors-in-chief, supported by 25 members of the editorial board.
Napredak is one of the pivotal pedagogical journals in this country. The data indicate certain variations in the quality of papers and might be useful for future editorial policy.
