Studies in Teaching and Education
is a journal publishing original scientific research or theoretical and
review papers in the field of pedagogy. |
Submission of papers
|
Papers
should be submitted by e-mail only to casopis@pedagog.rs
Papers
should be submitted in accordance with the technical standards given in the
Contributors’ notes. Authors should submit original manuscripts of papers which
have not previously been published or simultaneously submitted to another
journal. In accordance with these rules, authors are obliged to submit an
Authorship statement which can be downloaded from the journal’s webpage.
The
paper should be accompanied by the following information about the author(s) to
the Editorial Board: the name/s, middle name/s and surname/s of the author/s,
their year of birth, their academic qualifications, position and e-mail
address.
Ethical norms
|
Submitted
papers must be written in accordance with the ethical standards applicable to
scientific research papers, respecting the principles of well-being and dignity
of research participants, as well as the protection of their privacy (for
additional information, consult the latest version of АPA Publication Manual).
Evaluation of papers
|
After
the receipt of the papers the current editor-in-chief will review them and
decide which will enter the reviewing process. If a paper does not fit the
concept of the journal, does not meet Ethical norms, or the text does not
follow the instructions given in the Contributors’ notes and other
requirements, the authors will be informed of the rejection of the paper.
Papers
which enter the review process will be sent for appraisal by two competent
reviewers. The reviewers will not know the author’s identity, and the authors
will not receive information about the identity of the reviewers.
After
review, the Editorial Board will decide on the publication, possible revision
or rejection of a paper. All authors receive information about the Board’s
decisions.

|
When submitting a paper with corrections,
authors should report (in writing) all changes made to the original text
(page numbers and marked points where the changes were made), and also mark
changes made in the text, in accordance with the remarks and suggestions of
the reviewers. |
After
the acceptance for publication, papers are submitted to a software check for
plagiarism. If the results of the check show that the work contains plagiarized
text, the work will not be published despite positive reviews.
Publication of papers
|
If
the paper is written in Serbian, the authors are obliged to provide a
translation of the abstract into English.
The
editors forward the text prepared for printing to the authors by e-mail in
order to ensure the final verification before publication. This step does not
allow adding new text or making significant changes to the paper.
Publishing
costs
|
There
is no fee for the publication of a paper in the journal Studies in Teaching and
Education. The journal publisher bears the costs of proofreading, technical preparation
and printing of works.
Language
|
Your paper must be a Microsoft Word text processor
document, page A4 format, font Times New Roman, font size 12, line
spacing of 1.5 lines.
Papers should be submitted in the Serbian language (Cyrillic
alphabet) or English.
The
length
|
Papers should not normally exceed 30000 characters
with spaces in length. However, review papers and papers that present
theoretical analysis can be up to 50000 characters long. The Abstract and
Reference List, which should be at the end of the paper, are not included in
the length. The editors-in-chief reserve the right to publish papers which
exceed the maximum number of characters should the subject matter and/or focus
of the research require it, and in the case of scientific papers of
particularly high quality.
Elements and structure of a
manuscript
|
Title page. The title page should contain the following information: the
title, the name of the author/s (co-authors), the name of the institution (for
example: department, faculty, university), the town and the state (if the
author is from abroad) and the address of the leading author.
If a paper is reporting about work on a
scientific-research project, the essential information about the project should
be given in a footnote following the title.
The title. The title should be concise, precisely formulated in the
form of a sentence, bolded, centred, and in font size 14.
Abstract. The abstract should contain from 150 to 250 words. If a
paper is about performed research the abstract should contain the following
elements: the importance of the researched problem, the aims of the research,
the research methodology, key results, conclusions and pedagogic implications.
In the case of review papers and papers dealing with theoretical analyses, the
abstract should contain: the problem that is discussed in the paper, a
description of the structure of the paper, the key propositions that are given
in the paper and conclusions. The abstract should be written in one paragraph,
without referring to references, in font size 11, justified.
Keywords. The author(s) should provide up to five keywords in the
language of the paper which follow the abstract. The keyword should be relevant
to the subject of the paper and searchable. We recommend using for example
ERIC: https://eric.ed.gov/?ti=all
The structure of a paper. The paper should be structured in a logical and
proscribed way. Papers describing performed research should contain: an introduction, an initial research
hypothesis, the research methodology, results, discussion (including the
pedagogical implications of the conducted research) and conclusions. Review
papers and works that represent theoretical analysis, in addition to having an
introduction and conclusions, should be structured in accordance with the basic
topic of the work.
The headings and sub-headings. The heading of the sections should be formulated
precisely and according to the instructions given in Table 1. The headings and
sub-headings should not be numerically denoted.

Note. Format examples are provided for section headings and
sub-headings only and do not refer to the title of the paper.
Tables and graphs. Each table and/or graph should be numerically
denoted. The precisely formulated title of the table or graph should be given
in a new line, in italics. The name of a table should be positioned above the
table (see Table 1 of this note) and the name of a graph should be positioned
below the graph. All abbreviations in the tables and graphs must be explained.
The explanations (legend) should be given under the table or graph. Tables
should not contain vertical lines, while horizontal lines should only be used between
the table heading and data (see Table 1 of this note) and at the bottom of the
table. If horizontal lines contribute to the clarity of the table, they can be
used in the heading of the table.
Tables and charts should be given in Microsoft Word
format (which implies that the graphs are illustrated in Word), created and
delivered in a program that allows for their additional editing. The
information on the graphs should not be highlighted by colours but by pattern
fill. If the text contains tables and charts downloaded from the Internet, they
should be provided in no less than the resolution of 300 dpi, grayscale colour
mode. These parameters apply to any photos that are attached as part of the
text.
Statistical tests and measures. All symbols of statistical tests and measures
should be written in italics throughout the text, including tables (M, SD,
F, t, p).
Footnotes and abbreviations. Abbreviations and footnotes should be avoided. If
used, footnotes should contain only additional information or comment, not data
about the sources used.
References within the text. The references/bibliography should be constructed
according to the APA Citation Style - American Psychological Association 7th
Edition (https://apastyle.apa.org/instructional-aids/reference-examples.pdf).
References within the text should contain: the
author’s surname, the year of publication of the source and the number of the
page if a citation is made. If a number of authors are to be cited in brackets
within the text, they must be cited in alphabetical order, not chronologically.
If there are only two authors, both should be written in brackets. When there
are more than two authors, the surname of the first author is given and the
abbreviation “et al.”.
The Reference List at the end of the paper. The Reference List at the end of the paper should
include only the sources that the author(s) have used. References are given in
alphabetic order by surname of the author. If several publications by the same
author are cited, the publications should be listed in chronological order
(from the oldest to the latest work). If there is more than one author, the
reference should be cited by the first author`s surname and contain the
surnames and initials of the other authors. If there are more works by the same
author with the same year of publication, the works should be indicated with
letters a, b, c, etc., with the year of publication in brackets (e.g. 2012a,
2012b).
The Reference List at the end of the paper should
not be numerically denoted.
