Index factors for assessing the validity of scientific journals, their articles and their authors

Izet Masić*

The transition from the 20th to the 21st century was one of the most dynamic periods in the history of science and scientific journals. Many articles are produced almost exclusively in electronic form, so the creation of many databases with full texts is a relatively easy solution. Many journals are available in electronic form and in open access for end users - readers. However, the question often arises about the value of these scientific journals in comparison with journals that are still available and already present on a commercial basis. This is especially true for journals in the medical field, where reliability and quality, or the credibility of the information itself, are of great importance for science.
