Abstract
The aim of the study is to propose metrics that are based on publicly available data and do not require citation analysis (in this case unavailable) that are usable for evaluating local didactic journals. Based on a literature review and our suggestions, we compiled a set of indicators divided into four groups as follows - editorial board, website, indexing, and author guidelines.
Preliminary testing on journals of didactics of biology and pedagogy from the Czech and Slovak Republics advise that the set of proposed indicators is capable of distinguishing the quality of journals, although its limits compared to citation metrics are obvious.
