A PRIORI publishes original unpublished papers, peer-reviewed as well as those not subject to a review process. Articles are divided into four categories: preliminary announcement, original scientific article, review scientific article and professional article. Uncategorized papers such as essays, interviews and reports are not subject to review and are accepted and published by the editorial board based on its own insight. Authors submit papers to proofreaders.
All papers should contain the following information:
Name and surname of the author
Affiliation
E-mail address.
Papers can be written in local languages and in both scripts, as well as in English. Preliminary communication, original scientific article, review paper and professional article can contain from 3000 to 6000 words. Texts are submitted in Word format, Times New Roman font, font size 12, line spacing 1.5.
Original and review scientific article, professional article and previous announcement should contain an abstract (from 100 to 200 words) and key words (up to 10) at the beginning of the paper, as well as a summary (up to 500 words) at the end of the paper. In papers written in local languages, the abstract should be in English. Authors should follow the citation system, which includes Chicago-style footnotes and bibliography with detailed instructions at: https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.html. Each time a source is referred to, in the form of a direct citation or summary or paraphrasing of the content, a footnote is used. The sources cited in the footnotes must correspond to the bibliographic list.
Example of citing a book as a source:
Stefan Morawski, Predmet i metoda estetike (Beograd: Nolit, 1974.), 35.
For books that have two authors, the following is stated: name and surname of the first author and name and surname of the second author, title of the paper (city of publication: publisher, year of publication), page. Eg:
Katherine E. Gilbert i Helmut Kuhn, Istorija estetike (Beograd: Dereta, 2004.), 34.
In the case of several authors, the name of the first author is given and "et al." or "et al."
If it is about quoting a text from a magazine, then the note looks like in the example:
Slavoj Žižek, “Pismo koje je stiglo na odredište”, Zeničke sveske 14 (2011): 152.
In the case of a website, it is necessary, in addition to the above information, to provide the full URL of the page and the date of access to the page. If it is an article on a specific site, then it states:
Nikolas Kupiera i sar. “Humor Styles and Negativ Affect as Predictors of Different Components of Physical Health,” Europe’s Journal of Psychology, br.1 (2009): 23, http://www. ejop. org. očitano, 12. 12.2010.
The bibliography at the end of the paper follows the alphabetical logic. In the case of two works by the same author, the work previously published is cited first. Citing the author in the literature begins with a surname.
Ingarden, Roman. Experience, work of art and value. Belgrade: Nolit, 1975.
If it is an article from a journal, it is stated: surname, name of the author. „Paper title: subtitle“, journal title notebook volume / year / number (year): beginning-end page of the article:
Zizek, Slavoj. “Letter that has arrived at its destination”, Zeničke sveske 14 (2011): 152-169.
Web sources are cited in the literature in the same way as in the footnotes.
Articles that fall into four categories go through the review process:
1. Preliminary announcement - contains previously unpublished preliminary results of a certain scientific research that will be published very soon,
2. Original scientific article - contains an authentic thesis and previously unpublished results of scientific research,
3. Review article - contains a concise and critical overview of a specific research area and brings new information about the current state of the area and
4. Professional article - in addition to a concise and critical review of a certain topic, it also contains all directions as well as counterbalances presented against the mentioned thesis. It must also be understandable to non-specialists in the field. It differs from the original scientific work in not presenting the original thesis, but in using the already published results, which the author now further explains.
The final judgment on the categorization of articles is made by the editor-in-chief at the suggestion of the reviewers.
The reviewer is obliged to critically evaluate the work received for review and to communicate the evaluation. Also, he is obliged to treat the assigned work as a file of trust. The review should be performed in accordance with the agreed time limit and at the level of the academic form of communication.
The reviewer is required to complete the review on time and maintain an academic level of communication when writing the review. After reading the paper, the reviewer is obliged to give his judgment on whether the paper should be published, propose a categorization if the review is positive and make a judgment on whether anything in the paper should be corrected or refined. Reviews are doubly blind, ie the reviewer will not know the name of the author nor will the author know the name of the reviewer.
Reviewer ratings can be as follows:
a) Yes, it is accepted.
b) Yes, with finishing.
c) No, it is not accepted unless a thorough revision of the work is done.
e) No, not accepted.
Uncategorized papers are not subject to a review process. The editorial board will accept and publish these papers based on their own assessments.
