Digitalization of "Acta Stomatologica Croatica" Journal (1966;1 - 1999;33)

Modern documents, scientific articles and books are primarily issued in electronic form and their availability depends on the publisher's, or the document owner's, business ethics. The primary purpose of publishing a scientific article is to communicate with the scientific and professional community; therefore, the published article has to be available worldwide. The question is: Who really needs scientific papers from the 1960's? In cases of brilliant and bold visionaries, new concepts and scientific discoveries often come before their time; hence they have to be "reinvented" decades later. Besides, the scientists of today can enter the spiritual spheres of their professional ancestors and give respect to their legacy. We have processed more than 1 200 articles published by 1999 and entered more than 6 000 names and surnames of authors.
