Author Guidelines

The submission of a paper is considered as author's guarantee that the paper had not been published before and that its publishing does not violate the copyright laws. Any paper that had been presented at a symposium or a conference and published in full in the Proceedings in printed or electronic form are regarded as published papers. The author(s) must indicate if their paper has been posted on a "working paper" website other than their own. On acceptance, the text, or any link to full text, must be removed from the "working paper" website other than the author's own website.

The papers shall be accepted for publishing only after the author has modified the paper in compliance with the reviewers' and editorial's remarks. The author shall be responsible for all the data presented in the published paper.

The paper shall be submitted at http://traffic.fpz.hr. The paper shall be uploaded in English, leaving out the data about the author(s). Author information (metadata) should be entered during paper submission. If another author becomes involved while the paper review process is ongoing, the original authors can acknowledge him or her in the appropriate section of the paper (Acknowledgements).

After the paper is accepted for publishing, the author(s) shall be asked to submit author information (name, level of education, e.g. B.Sc./M.Sc./Ph.D., affiliation and address), the title, abstract and key words in the native tongue of the first author which will be included in the published version. When we started publishing our journal in English, we thought that this little detail was very interesting in order to visually highlight the internationality of the journal as well as to contribute to preserving the diversity of languages in the world.

The publishing fee is EUR 480 plus VAT 25%, totalling EUR 600 (HRK 3,200 plus VAT 25%, totalling HRK 4,000). If the payer is a company or institution then the invoice will be issued to the amount of EUR 480 (taxable legal entities are subject to a reverse-charge). All Croatian based payers must cover the VAT cost. Feel free to contact the publishing office for more information.

Preparation of the paper
