Author Guidelines

ATTENTION!

Papers submitted for review and publication should not contain the authors' details, so that the review is completely anonymous.

In the initial submission of the paper and before it is reviewed, you should NOT write your name(s) or other personal details. Therefore, the Journal Committee will receive your paper without names and without photographs. The paper will be sent completely anonymously to two reviewers and returned to the Journal Committee. It will be returned to you anonymously with the reviewers' comments as many times as necessary. The Editorial Board of the journal has the right, regardless of the reviewers' comments, to decide whether or not to publish the paper.  When you receive the final response, according to which the paper is ready for publication, then and only then will you send it completed with the name(s) of the authors in the format below.

The final form of the paper for publication must follow the publication template and all of the following guidelines.
