Ethics and Procedures

General

Journal Brodogradnja is the member of the Committee on Publishing Ethics (COPE) since 2017

The important principles with respect to the authors' paper are that the paper should:

be the authors' own original work, which has not been previously published elsewhere

reflect the authors' own research and analysis and do so in a truthful and complete manner,

properly credit the meaningful contributions of co-authors and co-researchers,

not be submitted to more than one journal for consideration (ensuring it is not under redundant simultaneous peer review), and

be appropriately placed in the context of prior and existing research.
