Summary:
"Summary
- Researchers in Bosnia and Herzegovina face systemic barriers to publishing, including scarce funding and weak institutional support.
- Limited mentorship and low research literacy increase vulnerability to predatory journals and conferences.
- Fragmented academic and healthcare systems hinder collaboration and international visibility.
- Financial constraints and APC costs divert high-quality local research away from mainstream journals.
- Practical reforms should focus on research support offices, regional collaborations, and improved promotion criteria."
