Scientific journals in the Humanities: preserve national and go international

Based on the editorial practice in the Croatian linguistic journal Suvremena lingvistika (Contemporary linguistics), the paper discusses the relationship between the national and the international in scientific publishing in the Humanities. Since the Humanities are significantly oriented towards nationally founded research, publishing practice within the Humanities is in some aspects considerably different from the practice in the so-called hard sciences. This paper showcases some examples of editorial initiatives in the journal Suvremena lingvistika that have been undertaken to preserve the national and to go international. The paper strongly supports the need for preserving diversity in publication cultures in the Humanities.
