Ekonomska i ekohistorija is published by the Society for Economic and Environmental History in Croatia and primarily publishes peer-reviewed scientific articles. See http://hrcak.srce.hr/ekonomska-i-ekohistorija?lang=en

Peer-review procedures: Two reviewers must evaluate and approve submissions. The reviewers determine the proper category (see above) under which the submission will be published. The category is listed in the title/heading when the article is published. If the reviewers disagree on the category, the editors will make the final determination. The editors have the right to make minor amendments, corrections, and editing of written and graphic material, as long as it does not substantially alter content or meaning.

The editorial staff is not responsible for opinions expressed in articles and published papers. Contributed papers and documents are not returned to senders. Once an article is accepted, the author cannot publish it elsewhere without prior approval from the editor of Ekonomska i ekohistorija, provided also that the re-publishing acknowledges its original publication in this journal.

Additional formatting guidance: Tables, charts, graphs, photos, and other images should be numbered and their approximate placement in the text indicated. Graphics must be in high resolution (600 or 1200 dpi preferred) and each submitted on a separate sheet/page of A4 format. Tables should have a descriptive heading placed above the table, with the source listed below it. In general, original scientific papers should not use graphic images published and copyrighted by other authors. If such documentations/graphics are used, the author must acquire permission from the source for reprinting and the original author and publication information must be cited. When using old, non-copyrighted maps, charts, or graphics, the original author must still be cited, together with the source and/or institution where the original graphics are kept, as well as a signature, if existing.

Each submission must include the following data:

• 1. paper title

  2. author name(s) and e-mail contact information

  3. institution name/address where the author is employed

  4. articles must be accompanied by a 250 word abstract in English, and an additional abstract in a language appropriate to the world region discussed in the article. The summary should include a general overview of the topic, methodology, results and conclusion; it should be in neutral gender, avoiding passive verbs, and limited to 250 words.

  5. include a glossary of key words if specialized scientific terms are used in the article.
