Abstract
Taking over the editorial office of Onoma in January 2019 was a great challenge, not only due to the tradition and brand behind the name, but also due to certain deficiencies which had accumulated over the years and led to considerable delay in the yearly publication of the journal. This study aims at presenting from an inside, but not subjective, perspective the complex process of managing the scientific and administrative issues that appeared while trying to bring the journal of ICOS back among the leading publications in the field. The current approach is multidisciplinary, as it involves linguistics, multilingualism, and onomastics (anthroponymy, toponymy, commercial names, etc.), management, economy, marketing, IT, and philology. The above-mentioned endeavour could not be achieved without the activity of a well-coordinated, competent team, determined to overcome obstacles and careful not to interfere with the high-standard peer review of the studies by the scientific committee or the overall quality of the journal. The ultimate goal consists not only of reinstating Onoma in the scientific network of onomastic publications, but also of ensuring better international visibility for the journal, which would enable its being indexed by the most prestigious databases and having a bigger impact factor.
