Acta Informatica Medica (www. actainformmed.org) is a peer-reviewed, open access journal which publish original articles, professional articles, reviews, viewpoints, and case studies, covering issues in Biomedical and Medical/Health informatics, published by the Academy of Medical Sciences of Bosnia and Herzegovina (www.amn. ba) (1). Acta Informatica Medica journal (Acta Inform Med) has founded in the year 1993 by Izet Masic and Zoran Ridjanovic, as official journal of Bosnian-Herzegovinan Society of Medical Informatics (BHSMI). This year Acta Informatica Medica has accepted as official journal of the European Federation for Medical Informatics ( www.efmi. org), besides 3 other journals: International Journal of Medical Informatics, Methods of Information in Medicine and European Journal of Biomedical Informatics. Journal Acta Informatica Medica is abstracted and indexed in 25 on-line data bases, including Pubmed, Pubmed Central, Scopus, Embase, Hinari, etc. Also, we sent application for including Acta as official journal of International Medical Informatics Association (www.imia.org) and to Web of Science groups (exactly to The Emerging Sources Citation Index) and waiting result of the reviewing process. During the year 2018 in Acta Informatica Medica was published 58 papers (from total amount published papers, 76.9% was original papers), where it was more published original papers in the journal than in the year 2017 (Figure 1). The journal began with the practice to publish the articles of PhD students free of charge, and in that manner opened to this population, and began with the practice of populating biomedical information technology, both in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in the region. The journal opened to PhD students, and they embrace it through the official letter to the Editor, presenting their goals and problems. The purpose of the journal is availability in the future period, to those authors who are not able to pay a publishing fee (because the subscription fee should be secondary and the quality of the work at the first place) to publish their papers free of charge. The tendency for the future is to preserve the Open Access model, while enabling funding through the subscription and purchase of printed publications. The purpose of the journal is to continue the publishing of both its online and print edition, four times a year (ISSN: 0353-8109 (Print), ISSN: 1986-5988 (On-line)). The website of the journal is refreshed in 2018, revised by Editorial Board (new members were included) and regularly updated. The authors of the published articles in 2018 issues are from 11 countries and four continents. Acceptance rate in 2018 was 32.7% (Table 1). Scimagojr.com Index H (for 2017) for Acta Informatica Medica is 12, while scimagojr.com index (SJR) is 0.275 (2). On the aforementioned page, the total number of citations from the journal Acta Informatica Medica was 187 (it should be noted that the number is only from the journals that are covered by Scopus). Self-citation (the number of citations from a journal citing article to articles published by the same journal) was 7. For the period 2013-2017, the Google Scholar h5 index was 17 and the h5 median was the 28. The journal in its function and everyday work is Importance of “Acta Informatica Medica” Journal in Spreading of Biomedical Informatics Knowledge and Experiences in Scientific and Academic Community

Title of Days of AMNuBiH 2018” and “SWEP 2018” is “Ethical Dilemmas in Science Editing and Publishing”. Why? If one wants to create a scientific work, must have on his mind that creating a scientific work requires creativity and openness, honesty, trust, and obeying the ethical principles for writing a scientific paper. While working on a an biomedical research involving human subjects medical workers should have on mind that it is the duty of the physician to remain the protector of the life and health of that person on whom biomedical research is being carried out. The World Medical Association (WMA) has developed the Declaration of Helsinki as a statement of ethical principles to provide guidance to physicians and other participants in medical research involving human subjects.

Introduction: Austro-Hungarian monarchy had great impact on healthcare system in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), and consequences of that exist today. Aim: To launch of the section „The Most Influential Physicians in the Development of Health Care in Bosnia and Herzegovina“, in which, within next issues of the Medical Archives will be presented the prominent physicians, dentists and pharmacists who gave contribution to development of healthcare system in B&H. Results: This paper provides a full overview from the literature about health care circumstances during 150 years in Bosnia and Herzegovina and important of the role health care institutions and of all the doctors working in B&H during the Austro-Hungarian administration.

Writing of scientific articles requires high competence and scientific awareness, and the respect of scientific patterns of behavior. Every article should essentially be followed by the IMRAD structure, which is generally represented, with minor modifications, in the entire modern scientific publishing. Writing articles must follow the thread, have a meaningful beginning and end, and from each and every part of the context. Also, it is indicate the benefits of the paper, to its defect, defining ambiguous points that would have the process for further analysis in some subsequent studies by the same or another group of authors. It means, the chapter - Discussion represents the heart of every scientific article. The writing of the discussion itself must point to the specificity of the results of the work itself. Author wants to point out the importance of quality description of chapter Discussion, when scientists prepare their articles with presenting own results comparing it with results of other authors with similar topic.

In medicine of the 21st century, which is essentially a digital medicine, Medical Informatics in theory should be an essential subject while studying medicine. This paper has a descriptive character, and represents an analysis of the existence of the subject “Medical Informatics” at the Medical faculties in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The fact is that Medical Informatics in Bosnia and Herzegovina essentially does not exist, and that the establishment of the subject of Medical Informatics is necessary. How it came to this, the question remains, but the fact is that taking into account the modern clinical medicine, as well as modern scientific research, Medical Informatics still deserves a place in the syllabuses related to the study of clinical medicine.

The School of public health “Andrija Stampar” lost one of its greats, who partly made it famous and well-known in the former Yugoslav areas, but also in Europe and the World. I personally remember him as a tireless worker, but also associate whose experiences was welcomed in my academic career. He loved Sarajevo and established good cooperation with the Institute and the Department of Social medicine and the organization of health, and several years ago we implemented several joint projects, some of which remained recognizable in Europe. A particularly important project was the “YugoslavSwedish Days of Social Medicine”, on which we worked together with the Karolinska Institute for Social Medicine in Stockholm for ten years, and which experiences and results significantly improved social medicine in our region.
