Summary/Abstract: The Institute for Scientifc Research Work of the Croatian Academy in Varaždin started its publishing activities in 1986 when it issued the first number of the Radovi journal (Eng. Papers). The Institute’s director, academician Andre Mohorovinčić, put it into words in the best possible way: “The first issue of the Radovi for Scientifc Research Work of the Research Centre of the Yugoslav Academy in Varaždin represents a contribution to the positive joint decision of the Jugoslav Academy and Varaždin Town Council to found the Institute for Scientifc Research Work in Varaždin in orderto stimulate the research of various problems in the feld of natural and social sciences, arts and culture, concerning the territory of the northern part of Croatia.” In the last thirty years, twenty-six issues of the Radovi journal have been published comprising over seven thousand pages dealing with multidisciplinary texts on Varaždin and north-west Croatia. More than two hundred authors have prepared over four hundred articles that address almost all fields of sciences and arts. Being led by the principles determined by the long-time editor of the journal and first director of the Institute, academician Andre Mohorovinčić, the Institute became the focal point of scientific meetings and research activities in the north-west part of Croatia. This contributed to the fact that the Institute with its Radovi edition, including also other publications, has spread throughout Croatia and also Slovenia, Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It also connects researchers from the USA, New Zealand, Germany, England, and Austria on an individual level. Today, the Radovi journal is cited at renowned scientific portals as for example: Hrvatska bibliografja, Niz C, Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, the online archive of Central and Eastern European Online Library (CEEOL), Ulrichs Web Global Serials Directory (ULRICH), Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and since the issue no. 26/2015 the magazine has been cited in the eminent publication: European Reference Index for the Humanities and Social sciences (ERIH Plus).
