Nakon tri godine upornog rada na postizanju kvaliteta i ispunjavanja kriterijuma za dobijanje statusa

naučnog časopisa sa zadovoljstvom možemo da obavestimo naše čitaoce da je Bankarstvo od ove godine na listi naučnih časopisa. Saglasno članu 27. stav 1. tačka 4) i članu 25. stav 1. tačka 5) Zakona o naučnoistraživačkoj delatnosti („Službeni glasnik RS", br. 110/05, 50/06 - ispr. i 18/10), Ministarstvo prosvete i nauke sačinilo je predlog kategorizacije domaćih naučnih časopisa za 2012. godinu, prema kojem je Bankarstvo dobilo kategoriju časopisa nacionalnog značaja (M52). To znači da bi radovi objavljeni u Bankarstvu tokom prethodne dve godine kao i tokom ove godine trebalo da budu vrednovani sa dva poena.

Želja svih koji učestvuju u stvaranju časopisa Bankarstvo je da se u narednim godinama postupno napreduje do nivoa časopisa međunarodnog značaja. U postizanju ovako ambicioznih planova i želja očekujemo pomoć i naših čitalaca, da nam šalju kritike, predloge i sugestije za teme u časopisu. Mnogi naši saradnici su i do sada svojim tekstovima doprinosili da teme u bankarstvu budu aktuelne i stručne, pa se nadamo da će i ovim statusom našeg časopisa još više biti inspirisani za saradnju.

Iz Programa izdavanja naučnih publikacija i održavanja naučnih skupova za period 2012-2015. godine u članu 10 - Izdavanje naučnih časopisa Republike Srbije jasno je navedeno

RECOGNITIONAfter three years of persistent efforts to achieve the highest possible quality and fulfil the criteria for obtaining

the status of a scientific journal, it is our great pleasure to inform our readers that starting from this year Bankarstvo Magazine found its place at the list of scientific journals. In accordance with the Article 27, para 1, point 4 and Article 25, para 1, point 5 of the Law on scientific research (`Official Gazette RS`, no 110/05, 50/06 correction and 18/10) the Ministry of Education and Science prepared the proposal for categorization of domestic scientific journals for 2012, whereby the Bankarstvo Journal received the category: Journal of the National Importance (M52). This means the papers published in the Bankarstvo journal during two previous years and during this year should be assigned two points.

All those involved in the creation of Bankarstvo Magazine wish for it to gradually improve its impact factor in the forthcoming years to the level of the journal of the international importance. In accomplishing such ambitious goals and desires, we expect the assistance of our readers, in the form of constructive criticism, proposals and suggestions concerning the topics featured in our magazine. By sending their papers, many of our collaborators have so far contributed to the banking topics being current and professional, and we hope that the newly-gained status of our magazine will only further inspire them for future cooperation.

koji su osnovni uslovi u ocenjivanju ovakvog časopisa:• da objavljuje radove naučnog karaktera;• da ima redakciju sastavljenu od istaknutih

naučnih radnika u odgovarajućoj naučnoj oblasti;

• da se njegovim izdavanjem ostvaruje ili podstiče saradnja istaknutih stručnjaka iz određene naučne oblasti, odnosno discipline;

• da se pri izboru članaka za objavljivanje primenjuje sistem recenzija;

• čijim izdavanjem se ostvaruje redovnost u objavljivanju svezaka u skladu sa prethodno deklarisanom periodičnošću;

• koji je u skladu sa aktima Ministarstva koji se odnosi na uređivanje naučnih časopisa;

• da se primerci (sveske) časopisa redovno dostavljaju ovlašćenoj Organizaciji.Za časopis koji tek želi da se kandiduje

za listu naučnih časopisa Komisija sagledava radove naučnog karaktera svih brojeva najmanje od jedne, poslednje godine. Ovaj Program usvojen je 22. novembra 2011. godine sa primenom od 1. januara 2012. godine.

Ako se sagledaju svi ovi nabrojani parametri za ocenjivanje jednog časopisa može se sa sigurnošću utvrditi da ih je Bankarstvo već više godina u potpunosti ispunjavalo.

Brojni su razlozi zbog čega se u Udruženju banaka krenulo sa aktivnostima koje su dovele do toga da se Bankarstvo posle 40 godina redovnog izlaženja nađe na listi naučnih časopisa.

Jedan od razloga koji je dr Ljiljana Vučković-Dekić navela u svom radu "Kako biram časopis u kojem objavljujem-lično viđenje" (Pančevačko čitalište 15, novembar 2009, UDK 001.818; 050.486.001) bio je i naš osnovni motiv za dobijanje statusa naučnog časopisa:

"Naučna publikacija je najvažniji put kojim se saopštava nauka, a naučni časopis je najvažnije mesto u kojem se objavljuju novi, originalni rezultati nekog istraživanja. Na osnovu ovoga se vrednuje nauka jedne zemlje, regiona ili institucije.

Kako je vlasništvo nad tom novostvorenom, originalnom informacijom autorstvo, to je naučna publikacija i osnov kojim se evaluira rad jednog naučnika. Naučnik ima obavezu da objavljuje - to je istovremeno radna i etička

obaveza, radna zato što publikovanje predstavlja završnu fazu istraživanja (na koje je potrošeno mnogo novca i vremena), a etička, zato što se neobjavljivanjem rezultata istraživanja naučna javnost lišava neke vredne informacije i što se istraživanja nepotrebno ponavljaju. Drugim rečima, neobjavljivanje rezultata istraživanja je veoma neetičko!"

Sledeći važan razlog, verovatno najznačajniji za izdavača, je da časopis sa ove liste omogućava da veći broj autora budu zainteresovani da tu objavljuju svoje radove, a time i mogućnost odabira najboljih radova što direktno utiče na ukupni kvalitet časopisa i stepen njegove čitanosti.

Pero Šipka sa saradnicima istraživao je "Učinak srpskih časopisa koji se indeksiraju u WoS i vrednuju u JCR" (Preliminarni rezultati evaluacije efikasnosti programa "Međunarodna promocija domaćih časopisa najvišeg kvaliteta", Beograd, juli 2011.) i došao do razultata koji ukazuju na eksplozivan porast impakta časopisa koji potiču iz Srbije. "Na kraju analiziranog perioda ti časopisi su postali najuticajniji u regionu, ostvarujući približno veći impakt od proseka preostalih zemalja (analizirani su najbolji srpski časopisi istog statusa koji se publikuju u drugim zemljama regiona: Bugarska, Hrvatska, Grčka, Mađarska, Rununija i Slovenija). Reč je o zemljama koje su skoro bez izuzetaka naučno razvijene. Taj nalaz potpuno odudara od svih drugih poznatih bibliometrijskih pokazatelja učinka domaće nauke. "Nakon preispitivanja i razmatranja ovakvih rezultata ova istraživačka grupa ocenila je da na njih nikako nije mogla da utiče neposredna podrška države već podsticajna klima vrednovanja i naročito entuzijazam urednika i uredništva. Kao glavni, neposredni uzrok uočenog fenomena identifikovan je program vrednovanja i međunarodne promocije časopisa koje sprovodi CEON."

Osnovni način za određivanje kvaliteta časopisa je na osnovu impakt faktora - faktora uticajnosti. Po jednoj nedavno urađenoj bibliometrijskoj analizi oko 380 domaćih časopisa je iz oblasti nauke a samo 30% imaju impakt faktor koji ih svrstava u kategoriju vrhunskih međunarodnih časopisa (M21) i rad objavljen u takvom časopisu dobija 8 poena. Do 20% ovih časopisa vrednuju se

The Program for Publishing Scientific Publications and Holding Scientific Conferences, for the period 2012-2015, in its Article 10 - Publishing Scientific Journals in the Republic of Serbia, clearly states the main preconditions in assessing such journals:• They shall publish papers of scientific

nature;• They shall have an editorial board involving

the eminent scientists in the relevant scientific field;

• Their publication should establish or facilitate cooperation among the eminent experts in the concerned scientific field, i.e. discipline;

• Selection of papers to be published shall be conducted according to the principle of independent peer reviews;

• They shall be published regularly in line with the previously defined frequency of publication;

• They shall be in line with the by-laws of the Ministry referring to the editing of scientific journals;

• Their copies (issues) shall be regularly submitted to the authorized Organization.In case of a journal which is to apply for the

list of scientific journals, the Commission reviews the scientific papers published in the issues from at least one (the latest) year. The above Program was adopted on 22 November 2011, and started to be implemented as of 1 January 2012.

If we consider all the above stated parameters for assessing a journal, we may say for sure that Bankarstvo Magazine has been fully implementing all of them for several years now.

There are many reasons for the Association of Serbian Banks to have launched the activities that have resulted in Bankarstvo Magazine finding its place in the list of scientific journals after 40 years of continuous publication.

One of the reasons, which Dr Ljiljana Vučkovic-Dekić stated in her paper titled “How I Choose a Journal in Which to Publish - Personal View” (Pančevačko čitalište 15, November 2009, UDC 001.818; 050.486.001), was also our main motivation for obtaining the status of a scientific journal:

“Scientific publication is the most significant way to communicate science, and a scientific journal is the most significant place in which

new, original research results are to be published. Based on this, the scientific results of one country, region or institution are to be valued.

Given that the ownership over this newly-created, original information is actually authorship, a scientific publication is also a basis to evaluate the work of a scientist. A scientist is obliged to publish - this is at the same time their working and ethical obligation, working obligation because publication represents the final stage of their research (which required lots of money and time), and ethical obligation because by not publishing the research results, the scientific circles are deprived of a valuable piece of information, and the research might be unnecessarily repeated. In other words, the failure to publish one’s research results is highly unethical!”

The next important reason - probably the most important one for a publisher - is the fact that being on this list makes a journal more attractive for the authors wishing to publish their papers in it, which in turn leads to the selection of the best papers, directly impacting the overall quality of the journal and its popularity with the readers.

Pero Šipka and his associates researched the “Performance of the Serbian Journals Indexed in WoS and Valued in JCR” (Preliminary results of the efficiency evaluation of the program “International Promotion of the Highest-Quality Domestic Journals”, Belgrade, July 2011), and came to the results indicating the outstanding growth in the impact factors of journals from Serbia. “At the end of the analyzed period, those journals became the most influential in the region, having achieved approximately higher impact factors than the average of the other countries (the analysis involved the best Serbian journals of the same status, which are published in the other countries in the region: Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Romania and Slovenia). The concerned countries are, almost without exception, scientifically developed. These findings are completely different from all other known bibliometric indicators of domestic science performance. Upon investigation and observation of such results, this research group assessed that they could not have possibly been impacted by the direct government support, but instead by the encouraging evaluation climate

kategorijom istaknutih međunarodnih časopisa (M22) a radovima se dodeljuje 5 poena. Svi ostali su kategorizovani znatno niže i donose manji broj bodova. Kao kvantitativna podrška kategorisanju srpskih časopisa impakt faktor je u upotrebi od 2005. godine. On se izračunava na osnovu trogodišnjeg perioda izlaženja časopisa i predstavlja prosek broja radova citiranih u časopisima sa THOMPSON SCI liste dve godine nakon njihovog objavljivanja u odnosu na broj objavljenih radova.

THOMPSON SCI lista je međunarodno priznata rang lista časopisa prema njihovom impakt faktoru. Njen naziv u prevodu je naučni citatni indeks - Scientific Citation Index. Proširena verzija SCIE (SCI Extended) sadrži bazu od preko 6.400 vodećih svetskih časopisa iz sveta nauke i tehnologije. Nadamo se da će se u skoroj budućnosti na ovoj listi naći i Bankarstvo.

Jednom godišnje impakt faktor se zajedno sa drugim pokazateljima uticajnosti i kvaliteta časopisa prikazuje u domaćoj elektronskoj publikaciji Bibliometrijski izveštaj o časopisima

Centra za evaluaciju u obrazovanju i nauci CEON. U Bibliometrijskom izveštaju o časopisima nalazi se već godinama i časopis Udruženja banaka Srbije - Bankarstvo. Poslednji izveštaj za 2011. godinu pokazuje da je kvalitet u odnosu na prethodne godine zadržan u neznatnim oscilacijama na više ili na niže. Ocenjeno je devet osobenosti jednog časopisa i time možemo da budemo zadovoljni.

Veliki jubilej - 40 godina trajanja, status časopisa nacionalnog značaja, pohvale i podstrek od brojnih renomiranih ekonomista, bankara i naučnika i rezultati u bibliometrijskom izveštaju, sve to je ono što nas kao izdavače motiviše i obavezuje na dalji kvalitetniji rad kako bi časopis Bankarstvo bio još bolji, aktuelniji, originalniji i stručniji. Časopis Bankarstvo zato s pravom nosi boje optimizma.

and, in particular, the enthusiasm of editors and editorial staff. What was identified as the main, direct cause of the observed phenomenon is the program of evaluation and international promotion of journals, implemented by the Centre for Evaluation in Education and Science.”

The main method for determining the quality of journals is the one based on the so-called impact factors. According to one recent bibliometric analysis, about 380 domestic journals are in the field of science, only 30% of which have the impact factor that classifies them in the category of top-level international journals (M21), a paper published in such magazine being awarded 8 points. Up to 20% of these journals are classified in the category of prominent international journals (M22), the papers published in them getting 5 points. All others are categorized in considerably lower categories, entailing a smaller number of points. As the quantitative support to the Serbian journals categorization, the impact factor has been used since 2005. It is calculated based on a three-year period of a journal’s publication and represents the average number of citations in journals from the THOMPSON SCI list two years after their publication, compared to the total number of published papers.

THOMPSON SCI list is an internationally recognized rating list in which the journals are ranked according to their impact factor. The abbreviation stands for the Scientific

Citation Index. The extended version, SCIE (SCI Extended) contains a database of over 6400 leading worldwide journals in the field of science and technology. We are hoping that in the near future the Bankarstvo will be on that list.

Once a year, the impact factor is, together with other indicators of impact and quality of journals, represented in the domestic electronic publication called the Bibliometric Report on Journals of the Centre for Evaluation in Education and Science - CEES. Bankarstvo Magazine, published by the Association of Serbian Banks, has been included in the Bibliometric Report on Journals for years. The latest Report for 2011 indicates that the quality, compared to the preceding years, has been preserved with slight upward or downward oscillations. Nine characteristic features of a journal have been assessed, and we may be satisfied with the results.

The great jubilee - 40 years of existence, the status of a journal of national importance, the praises and encouragement by the numerous eminent economists, bankers and scientists, along with the results presented in the Bibliometric Report - this is all something to motivate us as the publishers, but also to oblige us to further efforts to improve the quality of Bankarstvo Magazine and make it even more current, original and professional. Therefore, Bankarstvo Magazine, with due right, wears the colours of optimism.

Impact factor

Note: International citations, hence the impact factors of journals, are not represented because the results are not comparable per year of publication. In the past reports, due to technical reasons, they were determined on the basis of the CD edition of ISI citation indices and represented cumulatively (the so-called three-year citation window), whereas since 2007 onwards, they have been based on WoS and represented on the annual basis.
