Popis: To support the Croatian scholarly publishing environment, and inspired by the global open access movement, the portal of Croatian scientific journals HRCAK ( http://hrcak.srce.hr ) was introduced in 2006 offering an open access publishing platform for Croatian journals. Today, HRCAK gathers about 290 scholarly and professional Croatian journals. This paper is focused on the currency and visibility of the journals included in HRCAK, giving accurate statistical data about the HRCAK repository, its growth and development. Collaboration with Croatian publishers − namely, they are mainly academic and research institutions or professional societies − on the continuous work of raising the quality of Croatian scientific journals is presented in this paper. HRCAK journals are available for harvesting using the OAI-PMH protocol and papers are distributed through many different repositories, archives, databases and search engines. Future plans include work on full-text documents, inclusion of the additional types of publications and formats, harvesting process improvements, additional functionalities and standardization.
