References in the text

The use of APA Style is required when referring to a particular reference or quotation from an author (for more details see the link: http://lib.westfield.ma.edu/citeapa/ or https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource / 560/02).

 

The text lists the author's last name and year of publication, for example (Lindov, 2015) or Lindov (2015). In the case of referencing or citing paper with two authors, it is stated as follows: O. Lindov and A. Omerhodžić (2013) or (O. Lindov and A. Omerhodžić 2013). If referring to paper with multiple authors, the way of referencing references in the text is in the form of Lindov et al. (2016) or (Lindov et al., 2016). If referring to an idea from the other paper, but directly DO NOT cite the work, i.e. Calls for full work, the text only lists the author and year of publication, not the page number. Examples of references in the text:

 

According to Jones (1998), APA It's not easy when it's first used.

or

APA It's not easy when it's first used. (Jones, 1998)

 

If the text is quoted from another source, it is necessary to specify the page number, e.g. (Lindov, 2015, p. 199), or at the end of the quoted text, the page number is added (p.199). Examples of citing in the text:

 

According to the author Jones (1998), "Students often have problems using APA style, especially for the first time" (p. 199). 

or


Jones (1998) states that " Students often have problems using APA style, especially for the first time " (p. 199).

 

Notes for guiding (referencing or quoting) a website in the text:

  • The author's name, year of publication, followed by the page numbers if available.
  • If the source does not have an author, give the first or two words of the title.
  • If the date is not given, please insert "n.d." after the name of the author.

 

Each reference cited in the text must be indicated in the reference list. The references list only lists contributions that were used as references in text, images, etc. The list of references must be complex in alphabetical order.

Review

The process of reviewing the work begins with the presentation of the submitted papers by the editor-in-chief of editorial college for publication. The editor reviews the acceptability of the subject of work and the methodology, and after accepting the work by the editorial board, at least two professional reviewers, in the scope of experts in the given field, are appointed with the academic title of the master or doctor of science. The principle of the review is a closed type, with the remarks of the reviewers being sent through the Editor-in-Chief to the author. After the review of the reviewers and members of the editorial board, the manuscript is returned to the author with explanation and requirements for the completion and correction of work, if considered necessary. The corrected manuscripts should be returned to the editor within 8 days of receipt. The last part of the work review process is the proofreading of the text. This job is done by a professionally engaged lecturer and his remarks are an obligation for the author to remove them. Publishing work is under the responsibility of the Editor-in-Chief. Papers, whether published or rejected, are not returned to authors.
