As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

Author Guidelines

Author Guidelines

Submitted manuscripts ought to: 

  • be unpublished, either completely or in their essential content, in English or other languages, and not under consideration for publication elsewhere; 
  • be approved by all co-Authors; 
  • contain citations and references to avoid plagiarism, self-plagiarism, and illegitimate duplication of texts, figures, etc. Moreover, Authors should obtain permission to use any third party images, figures and the like from the respective copyright holders. The pre-reviewing process includes screening for plagiarism and self-plagiarism by means of internet browsing and software Turnitin;
  • add the DOI to each item in the reference list if available (see the DOI display guidelines at Crossref)
  • be sent exclusively electronically to the Editors (eujap@ffri.hr) (or to the Guest editors in the case of a special issue) in a Word compatible format;
  • be prepared for blind refereeing: authors’ names and their institutional affiliations should not appear on the manuscript. Moreover, “identifiers” in MS Word Properties should be removed;
  • be accompanied by a separate file containing the title of the manuscript, a short abstract (not exceeding 300 words), keywords, academic affiliation and full address for correspondence including e-mail address, and, if needed, a disclosure of the Authors’ potential conflict of interest that might affect the conclusions, interpretation, and evaluation of the relevant work under consideration;
  • be in American or British English;
  • be no longer than 9000 words, including references (for Original and Review Articles).
  • be between 2000 and 5000 words, including footnotes and references (for Discussions and Critical notices)

Malpractice statement

If the manuscript does not match the scope and aims of EuJAP, the Editors reserve the right to reject the manuscript without sending it out to external reviewers. Moreover, the Editors reserve the right to reject submissions that do not satisfy any of the previous conditions.

If, due to the authors’ failure to inform the Editors, already published material will appear in EuJAP, the Editors will report the authors’ unethical behaviour in the next issue and remove the publication from EuJAP web site and the repository HRCAK.

In any case, the Editors and the publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation following from copyright infringements by the authors. 

For additional comments, please see our Publication ethics. To get a sense of the review process and how the referee report ought to look like, the prospective Authors are directed to see the section For Referees.

  • follow the guidelines of the most recent Chicago Manual of Style (or check the latest issues of EuJAP)
