in a journal come from a source associated with publisher or editorial board only, what lowers the IC score.

5. International Editorial Board adds to the score, for it creates a chance for further journal’s development.

II. Editorial quality

1. Cover page [all the following items should appear clearly: journal’s title, ISSN, frequency, volume/issue/

part number, month/year].

2. The uniform composition of presented manuscripts compatible to journal’s instructions for authors,

forms the leading element of editorial quality. The following parameters are being evaluated:

a. Summary should count 200–250 words and have structural form, i.e. reﬂect structure of an article

(background, material and methods, results, conclusion). Non-structural summaries counting less

than 200 words lower the score.

b. Key words should not repeat the title of manuscript. The most desirable is to use key words from the

MeSH catalogue.

c. Uniform presentation of original manuscripts. Research works should be divided to background,

material and methods, results, discussion, conclusions, references.

d. References should be presented in consecutive order (as they are cited in the text). First six authors

should be presented. Journal title abbreviations should be in Medline standard. Arab numbers in

bracket or in upper index should mark citations in the text. Each citation item should be placed in a

separate paragraph.

Alphabetical order, “en block” presentation or incorrect abbreviation of journals title lowers the score.

3. Information for authors should be included into each journal’s issue, and should contain:

General rules of manuscripts evaluation process, disclosing conﬂicts of interest between referee-author,

referee-research sponsor, author-research sponsor, patient’s privacy rights and ethical issues in animal

and clinical research (Editorial Policy).

4. Detailed editorial and technical information regarding manuscript preparation (Instruction for Authors)

5. Editorial information should include list of Editorial Board members, editorial correspondence address,

name and address of a publisher, ISSN and frequency of issuance (monthly, quarterly)

6. Advertisements should be placed on editorial pages (at the beginning and/or at the end of a journal).

Advertisement within scientiﬁc content, i.e. before, inside and directly after an article is undesirable and

lower the IC score.

III. International availability

International availability is important for proper development of a scientiﬁc journal. Two factors are taken

into consideration:

1. Language of publication. English is preferable, since this is the universal language of science. Journals

published in other languages should have full size (200–250 words) structural summaries in English and

bilingual article title as well as table/ﬁgure subtitles.

2. Internet availability. Internet becomes an important medium for scientiﬁc publication and exchange

of professional information. It is due to its global availability and speed and low cost of publication,

comparing to printed journals. Internet availability enhances a chance to broaden journal’s circulation

and speeds up its development. The access to editorial information, table of contents, summaries and

full text articles and search tools are evaluated. The preferred language of a Website is English.

IV. Frequency-Regularity-Market stability

This group of parameters is to assess the editor’s publishing/managing eﬃciency. We evaluate:

1. Regularity of issuance, which is an important factor for journal’s stability and one of the key evaluation

parameter at other international indexing databases such as Medline and Current Contents. Journals of

an irregular issuance, late, or those, which issue joint issues, receive a lower score.

2. We add score to journals depending on their continuous presence on the market.

V. Technical quality

Technical quality discloses the ability for proper presentation of the scientiﬁc content. The quality of pre-

print process, especially desk top publishing (DTP), ability to print in color, and the quality of paper (acid-

free is preferred) are evaluated. The A4 format of a journal is preferred.
