Instructions for the authors
The scientific journal for contemporary education and application of information technologies – EdTech Journal – publishes only original papers that have not been published before. The authors are responsible for the data published in the text. The journal publishes scientific papers within the following classifications: scientific articles (original scientific paper, review paper, short or previous statement and scientific criticism, i.e. polemics and reviews) and professional articles (professional paper, informative article, review and professional criticism, i.e. polemics and reviews).
The editors reserve the right to return a text to the corresponding author if it is not in accordance with the Scientific Policy and Instructions for Authors, i.e. for which no Journal template was used, to the author as inappropriate (to reject the paper), or to request corrections of the article before referring it to the review process.
Papers can be written in Serbian or English language based on a template in Serbian or English "Template EdTech_ENG" or "Template EdTech_SRP" available on the journal’s website. If the article is written in the Serbian language, the editorial board will provide a translation of the paper into English and vice versa. Furthermore, upon receipt of the article, the editorial board will remove information about the authors or metadata that reveals the identity of the authors from the text to submit papers to anonymous reviews.
The editorial board accepts papers sent exclusively by e-mail to EdTech@institut.edu.rs or through the journal’s website. Therefore, you must send your articles exclusively together with the completed form "Information about the author" to EdTech@institut.edu.rs or send them via the website. Furthermore, along with the paper, it is obligatory to submit a completed form "Information for the author", which can be downloaded from the journal’s website, and the form "Statement of authorship and originality of the article".
EdTech Journal uses Springer-Vancouver (brackets) referencing style. References are marked with Arabic numerals in parentheses according to the order in which they appear in the text. Examples of referencing are given in the Template for the preparation of scientific papers. Detailed instructions can be found at the link . We suggest you install some quote manager like Mendeley.
The authors are obliged to respect scientific and ethical principles and rules when preparing and publishing articles, in accordance with international standards.
Authors agree to the following copyright policy by submitting a paper. The authors reserve all rights if the work is not approved for publication in the "EdTech Journal". However, when an article is accepted, the authors give the publisher the right to publish the article, to be listed as the first publisher of the article in case of later use of the work and to distribute it in all forms and media.
Please note that the journal uses PlagScan software to verify the authenticity of scientific papers after receiving positive reviews, i.e., deciding on accepting and publishing the article in the journal. If plagiarism is found, or auto-plagiarism or false authorship, the paper cannot be accepted for publication. The plagiarism testing procedure will be performed after review, and exclusively in case of receiving positive reviews, and the article will be rejected if plagiarism, auto plagiarism or false authorship is established."
