Abstrakt
New publication standards in the international scientific publishing environment keep gradually coming up. At a university, various types of journals are published (in external cooperation, university-wide, faculty-wide, departmental, etc.).
Their editors are above all expert researchers, lecturers and authors in their domain, giving the journals its scientific quality. On the other hand, it is hard for them to become as well experts in complex publishing activities.
They lack personal capacity, time, even familiarity with the availability of the standards at the university and possibility to ask for assistance. On top of this, some argue by lack of money, and by low importance of the standards in their opinion.
The Central Library at the Czech Technical University in Prague has implemented and tested the standards in order to keep up the level of scientific publishing at the university and to provide complex assistance to the journal editors at one place to work towards the journals' visibility and prestige in the international environment.
