Introduction: We approach the problem of "predatory" journals and publishers from the perspective of small scientific communities and small journals that may sometimes be perceived as "predatory". Among other characteristics of "predatory" journals two most relevant are their business model and the quality of the editorial work. Materials and methods: We analysed 444 Croatian open access (OA) journals in the Hr?ak (portal of Croatian scientific journals) digital journal repository for the presence of article processing charges as a business model and the transparency of editorial policies. Results: The majority of journals do not charge authors or require submission or article processing charges, which clearly distinguishes them from ?predatory? journals. Almost all Hr?ak OA journals have publicly available information on editorial boards, including full names and affiliations, and detailed contact information for the editorial office at the Hr?ak website. The journal names are unique and cannot be easily confused with another journal or intend to mislead about the journal?s origin. While most journals provide information on peer review process, many do not provide guidelines for reviewers or other editorial and publication ethics standards. Conclusion: In order to clearly differentiate themselves from predatory journals, it is not enough for journals from small research communities to operate on non-commercial bases, but also to have transparent editorial policies.
