An e-mail message with the article as an attachment to SERBIA TODAY should be sent to serbiatodayarticles@gmail.com or editor@serbiatoday.info Use "Submission" as the subject in the email address block. The message should include (1) the author’s name, (2) the title of the article, (3) an abstract of no more than 150 words, and (4) any relevant information about the author, including institutional affiliation, mailing and e-mail addresses.
Once you have prepared your paper observing the formatting, attach it to the e-mail message and click "Send." An acknowledgement will be sent indicating that the paper has been received.
Submission Requirements
Articles for submission must be previously unpublished and in English. Papers should be well-written, and we encourage grace as well as clarity. It is important that papers be copy-edited carefully before submission. Drafts are not acceptable. In submitting work to SERBIA TODAY authors agree to the policies of this magazine, including free access and use of the material published in it with, of course, proper acknowledgment of authorship and source. If you have any questions about whether your article is appropriate for ST, send it directly to the editor for a preliminary review.
All articles will be blind-refereed except when invited. The decision of the editorial board is final. Articles accepted for publication will be copyrighted by SERBIA TODAY.
Because SERBIA TODAY relies on the generosity of scholars who contribute their time to review articles, we ask that authors not submit their work to other journals at the same time. By using computer technology throughout, we expect that the review process will move quickly and that authors will be notified in a reasonable time.
Submission Guidelines
Our submission guidelines have been carefully prepared to facilitate the editorial process of publishing articles online. Strict adherence to formatting guidelines (described below) has three purposes. First, simple formatting allows the editors to concentrate on the content of articles submitted. Second, it allows for reliable translation of authors' formatting to the web page. The third consideration is both aesthetic and practical: multiple stylistic formats are ugly and distracting on a web page and interfere with reading. Therefore, please observe the formatting instructions carefully.
Formatting the Article
Before submitting an article, the article should be formatted according to the following guidelines:
At the beginning of the article, the title, abstract and a list of key words should immediately precede the text. Do not include the author’s name or any other identifying information.
Number notes sequentially in the article using Arabic numbers and place the notes at the end of the article. Please submit texts in MS Word, Rich Text Format (RTF – preferred), or WordPerfect. If submitting from a Macintosh computer, please include the three-letter file extension in the file name of your article.
Font should be 12 point Arial, Times New Roman, or Helvetica, whether in normal, bold, or italic. Please do not insert line breaks in the text or special spacing for formatting.
Rights and Permission
It is the responsibility of the author to obtain permission for the use of any copyrighted material, including images, sound, and video files. It is preferable to place images directly in the text but when permission is unobtainable it is acceptable to include a link to the image directly in the text.
Acceptable File Types
Naming files: File names should not contain spaces. They may contain letters, numbers, hyphens (-) and underscores (_). No other punctuation is allowed. Files must have the three-letter file extension identifying the file type (i.e. .rtf, .wpd, .doc), whether submitted from a Windows or Macintosh computer.
Examples of unacceptable file names:
Aesthetics/Form.doc (uses slash)
Article #2.rtf (uses # sign)
Article.Aesthetics.wpd (uses period or point)
Aesthetics and Art (has no file extension)
The following are the only acceptable file types for articles:
Microsoft Word (.doc) (preferred)
Rich Text Format (.rtf)
Corel WordPerfect (.wpd)
AppleWorks, Lotus, or other word processor documents must be saved in one of the above formats.
