Author Guidelines

This journal operates a style-free submission policy. Authors may prepare their manuscripts in any citation style and formatting that suits their workflow. Upon acceptance, the editorial office will handle all typesetting and formatting to ensure compliance with the journal's publication standards. This approach allows authors to focus on content quality rather than formatting requirements during the submission process.

Authors are invited to submit their work to this journal via email at mz@mf.uni-lj.si. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.
