2. The language of all publications is English.
3. Research articles should contain original results of the authors’ own research studies. They should broaden the knowledge in a given area and should be prepared in such a way that another researcher – following directions in the text – would be able to reproduce the experiments, verify the observations, and make conclusions.
4. The volume of an original manuscript or a review should not exceed 8-10 pages, A4 format, double spaced. A short report or an introductory report should contain 3-4 pages, including additional materials (tables, illustrations, summaries, and references, including captions under tables and figures). The Abstract should include maximum 250 words.
5. The author’s/authors’ declaration that the material has not been published elsewhere, or has not been submitted to another publisher, should be attached.
