Abstract
In 15 volumens of the journal Acta Stomatologica Croatica 383 articles along with other texts were published on 2646 pages. The number of articles in each volume of the journal increased from 5 to 8.3; at the same time, the length of each article was reduced from 8.2 pages in volume 1 to 5.4 pages in volume 15. A trend towards more coauthors has been observed. The average number of authors for each article in the first five volumes was 1.6 and in the last five volumes 2.0. Each volume contains almost all categories of papers according to the Price’s classification (ex cathedra, normal and review). The relation between individual categories has changed over this period to more publications of »normall« and »review« articles and fewer »ex cathedra« articles. Price's index (PI) was above average for articles in 9 of a total of 15 volumes. The tendency for more articles and coauthors, for more »normal« and »review« articles and fewer »ex cathedra« articles indicates the continuation of positive changes in the quality of scientific publications and the journal itself.
