Guidelines for Authors

Social ecology publishes theoretical, empirical and methodological papers within the scope of social ecology, as well as other scientific disciplines related to the area of environmental sociology. Its primary focus being on original scientific (research) papers, the journal also publishes professional papers (featured article), review articles, preliminary communication, conference papers, translations, book reviews, essays, bibliographies, as well as variety of documents and information that would be of interest to science and social development. Authors are asked to keep in mind the multidisciplinary character of the journal, and therefore to make an effort to present their papers in a way acceptable to variety of readership.

Editorial board accepts unpublished manuscripts only. Papers should be submitted exclusively in electronic form through the Open Journal System platform:

The submitted manuscript must be the authors’ own original work for which they accept full scientific and ethical responsibility. The manuscript cannot be previously published or concurrently submitted for publishing elsewhere. When using other people's or one's own already published knowledge, it is necessary to state and cite it appropriately. In case of images, graphs, tables and other materials reproduction, it is necessary to obtain permission from the copyright holder. Authors are expected to list all the people who contributed to the manuscript but are not the authors, and all the organizations and projects that have, financially or in any other way, supported the research published in the article. Every published research should also have the approval provided by the ethics committee of the competent institution or a detailed description of the process of obtaining informed consent of the respondents. In case of academic dishonesty or plagiarism, the Editorial Board will initiate appropriate procedures in accordance with the internationally accepted ethical guidelines published in the Code of Conduct by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Editorial board supports and encourages the use of ORCID identifiers and recommends that authors, during registration and paper submission, provide their ORCID ID or create one, in case they don’t have it.
