Sažetak
In this editorial we describe the confounding factors that contribute to the poor international recognition of small journals: author pool, rewiev process, finances, language and visibility. The factors originate from relative scientific inadequacy of the local environment and close a positive feedback loop (vicious circle) of journal inadequacy. We argue that small journals may provide important information and outline the ways in which they can be assisted.
