In the period after the publication of the journal number 2/2021, Editorial Board is to increase the visibility of the journal “Administration“ in the new international databases. The result of joint efforts in this direction is the recent reference of the journal to six new international databases: Erih Plus, DRJI (Directory of Research Journals Indexing), ISI (International Scientific Indexing), ROAD (Directory of Open Access Scholarly Resources), CiteFactor and ResearchGate. Also, thanks to the Dean of the Faculty of Administration prof. dr. Emir Tahirović, the procedure of indexing journals in the Web of Science (WoS) database has been officially launched.

In addition to thanking the Editorial Board for these successes, we would like to express our special gratitude to all the authors and contributors who have given and will continue to make a great contribution to increasing the visibility of the journal.
