Copyright for articles published in this journal is retained by the authors, with first publication rights granted to the journal (this applies to both the print and the electronic issue).

The editorial board invites contributors to submit their papers to the Editor:
 

• Valerija Botrić, vbotric@eizg.hr

Submitted papers undergo the double-blind review process. Authors are informed about the final status of their papers within three months from the date of submission. Submitted papers should contain original unpublished work that has not been submitted for publication elsewhere. If the paper is accepted for publishing, author(s) are asked to comply with the format and style of the journal and to sign a copyright agreement.
 

AUTHORS ARE REQUESTED TO CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:

 

• Submitted papers should be in English
• Double-spaced
• The length of submitted papers should be between 5,000 and 8,000 words
• Accompanied by an abstract, up to 5 keywords and JEL classification
• The front page of the paper should be anonymous
• A separate front page with the name(s), institutional affiliation, and contact address of the main author(s) should be included
• An abstract, not exceeding 200 words, should also be included.
• Equations, figures and tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and included in the paper in order they appear in the text. Tables and figures should be fully titled. Footnotes to tables and figures (sources and notes) should be placed at the bottom of the table and figure.
• The journal uses APA style (http://www.apastyle.org/) to format references in the text and in the literature section.
• In the literature section, the author should provide full references for all the works mentioned in the text; also, the reference list should contain only those sources mentioned in the text. They should be listed alphabetically according to the surname of the author, and chronologically if a particular author has more than one work. If several works by the same author were published in the same year, they should be differentiated by letters (a, b, c etc.) following the year of publication. If a work was written by several authors, all authors should be listed instead of using “et al.” or “and collaborators”. When an article or bibliographic record has a DOI, use the DOI number in the reference list. 

 

FORMATTING IN-TEXT REFERENCES ACCORDING TO APA STYLE:

 

• The sources should be cited in the text, not in the footnotes. The reference should be in brackets, containing the author’s surname and year of publication, e.g.:

 

• The page number should be included for quotations or references to books, e.g.:

 

• If the reference was written by two authors, both should be mentioned e.g.:

 

• If the work has three, four or five authors, all the authors’ surnames should be listed in parentheses after the first citation. In repeated citations the form "et al." is used:

 

• If the work was written by six or more authors, the form "et al." is used from the first citation on, e.g.:

 

• All references in the text should be given as they were given the first time, i.e., forms such as "Ibid.", "Op. cit." and the like, are not used. Authors should use footnotes exclusively for commenting on or expanding on what is referred to in the text.
