AB There are in Croatia 241 journals appearing at least twice a
   year. They make for about 2/3 of those periodic publications
   whose contents are recorded in the Croatian Bibliography.
   Series B, contributions in journals and proceedings. Their
   scientific communicability (sci.comm.) was evaluated by four
   indicators: peer review, language, timeliness/regularity, and
   foreign authorship; journals from the natural and applied-
   technical sciences (NT) faired considerably better than those
   from the social sciences and humanities (SH). This dichotomy
   was also apparent in the 1990 to 1995 comparison. Although
   there were no dramatic changes, the sci. comm. did improve, and
   more so for the NT-journals. New SH-journals more frequently
   appeared and ceased. Hence, the criteria for decision making in
   science policy must not be identical for all types of journals.
   The results of the sci. comm. evaluation by our method is
   congruent with the coverage of Croatian journals in the
   international secondary information services. This flow into
   the "capillary" system of scientific information exchange leads
   to a reasonable "visibility" of Croatian journals via the ISI-
   journals.
