Abstract
The author discusses the issues related to the European standards of editing and publishing periodicals with special emphasis on scientific and scientific-professional journals in the field of public administration. The paper contains a report from the meeting hosting editors of journals dealing with public administration and public management held in Madrid in September 2007, and a report form the round table hosting editors of journals dealing with social sciences held in Zadar in September 2007. The author has made general conclusions from both meetings and discusses some important issues related to the process of editing and publishing scientific journals. Special emphasis is put on the influence of ICT on the editorial process; recognition of editorial work as part of scientific performance and association of editors into editors’ associations; integrating journals into international networks; simplification of the editorial process; and the issue of language in scientific journals in relation to the widespread influence of the English language. Finally, the author analyses the journal Croatian Public Administration in relation to the above mentioned development tendencies and detects the areas where there is room for editorial improvements.
