Scientific journals are a key medium for scientific communication, and for librarians a main source for analyzing scientific productivity. The aim of this paper is to analyze Croatian scientific and professional journals in the field of economics using the quantitative tool Journal Citation Report (JCR) of the Web of Science database and the metric indicator SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) on journals in Scopus. The purpose of this paper is to enable economy scientists to present the overview of Croatian economic journals in relevant databases. The sample includes 69 active journals in economics on the Portal of Croatian scientific and professional journals - Hrčak. The used method is the analysis of journals on Hrčak to find out which journals are indexed in Web of Science and Scopus citation databases, together with the analysis by following parameters: best ranked journal by impact factor in JCR and SJR indicator, the most cited article and most productive authors. This research provided insight into Croatian journals indexed in databases of category a1 according to the Rule book on Conditions for Selection in Scientific Professions as well as it gave insight into the scientific productivity of scientists within the field of economics.
