Introduction: The first step in the process of acquisition of impact factor for a scientific journal is to get registered at Thomson Reuters Web of Science database. Aim: The aim of this article is to evaluate the content and structure of Orvosi Hetilap with regards to selection criteria of Thomson Reuters, in particular to objectives of citation analysis. Methods: Authors evaluated issues of Orvosi Hetilap published in 2011 and calculated the unofficial impact factor of the journal based on systematic search in various citation index databases. Number of citations, quality of citing journals and scientific output of the editorial board members were evaluated. Adherence to guidelines of international publishers was assessed, as well. Results: Unofficial impact factor of Orvosi Hetilap has been continuously rising every year in the past decade (except for 2004 and 2010). The articles of Orvosi Hetilap are widely cited by international authors and high impact factor journals, too. Further, more than half the articles cited are open access. The most frequently cited categories are original and review articles as well as clinical studies. Orvosi Hetilap is a weekly published journal, which is covered by many international databases such as PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Embase, and BIOSIS Previews. As regards to the scientific output of the editorial board members, the truncated mean of the number of their publications was 497, citations 2446, independent citations 2014 and h-index 21. Conclusions: While Orvosi Hetilap fulfils many criteria for getting covered by Thomson Reuters, it is worthwhile to implement a method of online citation system in order to increase the number of citations. In addition, scientific publications of all editorial board members should be made easily accessible. Finally, publications of comparative studies by multiple authors are encouraged as well as papers containing epidemiological data analyses. Orv. Hetil., 2012, 153, 1905–1917.

Study Results

Researchers rely on a system of scientometric ratings when they assess the development of a scientific journal. This approach does not allow us to understand the reasons for the results achieved and the specifics of the business model of the publication. The paper describes the study of scientific journals through a prism of the ecosystem approach. The hypothesis is tested that a highly rated scientific journal, its authors and readers together represent a closed ecosystem with specific properties. The research methodology is based on the author’s toolkit which consists on the calculation of ecosystem closeness indicators: the share of affiliated authors, their correlation with the average influence of a paper, diversity and fluidity. The authors suggest that low rates of variability and diversity indicate a closed type of journal ecosystem. Generalization and interpretation of empirical results was carried out by the method of cluster analysis. The information base is a panel metadata of 20 scientific Russian journals for 2013–2020, which have the maximum Science Index ratings on economic and management fields. Also, the authors analyzed the data on the number and level of concentration publications by the editorial board members and staff of the holding institution, as well as the intensity of publications of individual authors. There have been identified four clusters of studied journals being as a base of the empirical verification. The first and third clusters are characterized by the highest rate of closeness. The lowest level of variability in the sample has been recorded for the third cluster. The journals of the second and fourth clusters have a conditionally closed ecosystem and have been characterized by a top-rated of variability. They are characterized by a low share of publications by affiliated authors. However, it was revealed that there had been a group of authors who had a significant impact on the journal’s ecosystem development. The study results can be of value for the strategies formation of scientific journals development.

Scientific Achievements

The purpose of the article. On the basis of current scientific achievements, the role of the editor of the scientific journal is considered. Methodology. The article is a narrative review of the literature. The methods of analysis, classification, and generalization, as well as a systematic approach, were used in the review. The methodology used made it possible to comprehensively analyze the roles of the editor of a scientific journal. The scientific novelty is to broaden the perception of the editor’s role in the editorial and publishing process. Conclusions. The editor of the scientific journal acts as the gatekeeper of science, organizer, consultant, and recruiter. In the role of gatekeeper, the editor filters the results of scientific research, selecting the ones that will be published. As the organizer, the editor is responsible for the interaction of all participants of the editorial and publishing process and the strategy for the development of the journal, initiates the journal’s entry into scientific-metric databases, and establishes external links of the journal. As a consultant, the editor helps the authors improve the quality of the manuscripts, and in the role of recruiter he or she forms the editorial board, appoints reviewers, invites new authors to collaborate. In general, the editor’s roles are reduced to supporting the interests and interaction of four stakeholders: the founder of the journal, the author, reviewers, and the reader. The identity of the editor is invisible when the editorial and publishing system works smoothly. However, in problematic situations, for example, when an unreasonable decision is made regarding the manuscript when the reviewer receives an inappropriate manuscript for examination when there are not enough articles to fill the volume when conflicts and misunderstandings arise between the participants of the editorial and publishing process, the editor has to balance the needs, opportunities, and requirements of all stakeholders. In addition, the editor is responsible for adhering to the principles of academic integrity. Key words: scientific journal, editor, gatekeeper, organizer, consultant, recruiter, peer review, conflict of interest.

Starting Point

Twelve academic critics (interested in the management of academic journals) have been invited to partake in the composition of this editorial. They have engaged in three main rounds to craft standards for journals. Five holistic standards have been manufactured, each one consisting of measurable key performance indicators. The first is human potential, which discusses, for instance, the representation of genders among editorial board members and reviewers. The second is ethics, for example, problematising the practice of judging articles and journals merely based on their ability to attract citations, and thus make a so-called ‘impact’. The third is regulations, deeming it necessary to ensure transparency and protect authors' rights (e.g. by publishing the expected time from submission to first decisions). The fourth is digital quality, such as the online publication of manuscripts right after their acceptance. The fifth is technical sophistication, including the availability of regularly published statistics on the journal’s workflow. This editorial has three strong points: first, it discusses the proposed standards by comparing them with existing standards imposed by major organisations (namely Scopus and Clarivate); second, it sheds light on potential challenges that may be encountered when exposing Arab journals to the proposed standards, hoping that these standards act as a starting point for a fundamental reform in Arab journals; third, it evaluates the Scientific Journal of King Faisal University according to the proposed standards, thereby empirically testing out these standards.

THE EDITORIAL BOARD—WHO'S WHO Editorial Board Members are usually names on a masthead who anonymously review articles. They add their expertise to the more general knowledge of an editor and assist in the selection of articles for publication. They also are used by the editor as the (usually unnamed) experts who have recommended disapproval of one's cherished paper! They are always hard working and are the backbone of any journal. The Editorial Boards of Pediatrics in Review serve all of these functions and more. Readers may be interested in their roles. We have two Editorial Boards: A Policy Board and an Editorial Consulting Board. Both are made up of approximately equal numbers of practicing pediatricians and full-time teachers.
