Editing a scientific journal in Croatia: the case of Biochemia Medica

Seven years ago, I joined the editorial board of Biochemia Medica, the English language, peer reviewed journal of the Croatian Society of Medical Biochemists (CSMB). Its 16th anniversary coincided with a major re-design, when two co-editors in chief were appointed, and I was offered a post of an assistant editor. Our editorial policy was to gain international recognition in the field of laboratory medicine. For a journal from a small scientific community, this recognition could be earned by adhering to internationally acceptable publishing standards and by satisfying the following main indexing criteria: clear and unique aims and scope ; timely and regular publication ; quality of the journal content ; quality of the editorial work ; technical quality of the journal ; international editorial board ; visibility for the international scientific community. Members of our editorial team invested a lot to meet these standards and indexing criteria.
