IMPORTANT NOTES FOR MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION

The formatting of scientific articles and other contributions submitted to Strani pravni život is governed by these instructions. Authors are requested to ensure that their submissions comply with the journal’s aims and scope, as well as with the prescribed manuscript formatting requirements; otherwise, the paper may be rejected after the initial screening (desk reject).

Scientific articles may be submitted in Serbian or in English. They must include the author’s details, the title, an abstract, keywords, and a list of references. Contributions written in Serbian must also include an English translation of the title, abstract, and keywords. Submissions in English must include a Serbian translation of the title, abstract, and keywords.

As a rule, articles should not exceed the length of one author’s sheet (28,800 characters including spaces, approximately 16 pages, with 28 lines per page and 66 characters per line). Exceptionally, longer manuscripts of up to 1.5 author’s sheet may be accepted where the subject matter so requires, subject to prior agreement between the author and the Editor-in-Chief. In other cases, manuscripts will be returned to the author for shortening. Said character limit does not include footnotes (including author and affiliation details and other notes), title of the article, abstract, keywords, and the list of references.

Scientific articles may be classified as either original research articles (presenting previously unpublished results of the author’s own research, based on the application of scientific methods) or review articles (providing an original, detailed, and critical analysis of a research problem or field to which the author has contributed, supported, where appropriate, by references to own work).

It is also possible to publish scientific critiques or polemics, presenting a debate on a particular scholarly topic based on scientific argumentation. Such contributions may be up to 10,000 characters in length (including spaces).

All the above elements are excluded from the character limit.

Other contributions. Comments on court decisions may be up to 15,000 characters in length (including spaces). Presentations from scientific and professional conferences, book reviews, and similar contributions should not exceed 7,000 characters (including spaces). These types of submissions do not require an abstract or a summary.

FORMATTING STANDARDS

Strani pravni život uses the Harvard style – British standard, based on the author–date system. This style has been adapted only with regard to the citation of legal sources. This referencing style, including in-text citations and reference list rules, is explained in detail in these guidelines.

In accordance with the adopted referencing style, footnotes should be used to provide additional explanations and should not contain references to the literature cited in the main text. The provisions and articles of the legal acts referred to by the author should be included in the main text, and not in footnotes. By way of exception to the above rule, the titles of legislative acts and judicial decisions, shall be cited in footnotes.

The author’s first name, middle initial, and surname should be written on the first page of the manuscript in the top left corner. They should be written using appropriate diacritical marks (č, đ, š, etc.), without academic titles. The names of foreign authors should likewise be written with diacritical marks, irrespective of the language of the paper.

Other details about the author(s): academic and professional titles, ORCID number, affiliation, and contact details (author’s e-mail) should be provided in a separate footnote on the same page, below the main text, marked with an asterisk. ORCID number is mandatory for all authors.

Affiliation: the full official name and location of the institution (city and country) where the author is employed or where the research was conducted should be provided. Postgraduate students should state the name of the institution at which they are enrolled.

Research data/research project. After the title, authors may include a separate footnote providing accurate, complete and up-to-date information on the circumstances under which the work was produced (e.g. within the framework of international cooperation or an international programme, as part of a scientific or research project, during postgraduate or postdoctoral studies, as a conference presentation, guest lecture, etc.), and/or indicating the institution, government body, or international organisation funding or benefitting from the project.

Acknowledgments should be given in a separate note on the first page of the manuscript, below the main text, marked with an asterisk after the title. They should include the names of individuals who are not listed as authors, but who participated in the research or assisted in the preparation of the paper, together with a brief description of their contribution.

The title of the paper should be written in sentence case, centred, in font size 14 pt. It should not exceed 10 to 12 words in length.

An abstract should be placed below the title of the article. It must not exceed 800 characters (including spaces), font size in 11 pt font and italicised. The abstract should outline the significance of the topic, the main research question or hypothesis, the research objective, the methodology applied, and the main findings. Authors are encouraged to use terms commonly used for indexing and searching academic articles.

Keywords are terms or phrases that best describe the content of the article for indexing and search purposes. Authors should provide five keywords or phrases in the language of the paper. They should be placed below the abstract in font size 11 pt and italicised.

The title of the paper, abstract, and keywords should be provided in English (if the article is in Serbian) or in Serbian (if the article is written in English), two lines below the corresponding elements in the language of the paper.

Subheadings within the main text should be centred, written in sentence case, bold, font size 12 pt, and using Arabic numerals. Introductory and concluding remarks should also be numbered. Second-level subheadings should be written in bold italics, while third-level subheadings should be written in italics only (without bold). Subheadings should be numbered accordingly (e.g. 1.1, 1.1.1). Please note that articles should not contain more than three subheading levels.

Tables, charts and similar appendices should be submitted separately, in format and resolution suitable for printing. The text must clearly indicate where these materials should be inserted. All appendices should be appropriately labelled (e.g. Table 1 – Title) with a clearly stated source.

A list of references should be provided at the end of the paper, in fort size 11 pt. It should be sorted alphabetically by authors’ surnames and should not be numbered. A list of references must not include legislative acts, judicial decisions, or decisions of other public authorities. As previously stated, such sources should be cited exclusively in footnotes at the appropriate point in the text.

CITATION AND REFERENCE LIST RULES

In-text citations

Authors are expected to quote the sources used fully and accurately, and to faithfully represent the statements of other authors. When quoting books or articles, page numbers should be provided wherever possible, indicating the exact source of the material cited. Page numbers must be included when quoting text verbatim, as well as when paraphrasing or referring to a specific part of a book or article. Use ‘p.’ to indicate a single page and ‘pp.’ to indicate a page range. It is also permissible to quote a work accepted for publication, provided it has been assigned a digital identifier (DOI); in such cases, the DOI should be included in the list of references together with the other bibliographic details of the cited work.

The citation form depends on whether emphasis is placed on the author or on the content of the source. In the first case, the author’s name should be included in the sentence itself; in the second case, the reference should be given at the end of the sentence in parentheses, together with the year of publication (and, where necessary, the relevant page number(s)). For example:

• As noted by Professor Konstantinović (2006, p. 36), the volume of the Draft Code of Obligations and Contracts stemmed from the intention to make the law comprehensible to all, rather than to teach participants in legal transactions the law.
• The Draft Code of Obligations and Contracts was extensive, because its purpose was to render the law comprehensible to all, rather than to teach participants in legal transactions the law (Konstantinović, 2006, p. 36).

When an author is referred to in the text without any additional discussion of the content of the cited work (such as a summary overview or a specific reference), it is sufficient to provide the author’s surname followed by the year of publication in parentheses. For example:

• In his work Ćirić (2008) states that...

When referring to specific parts of a paper, the exact page number (range) where the quoted material appears should also be indicated. For example:

• In his work, Ćorić (2017, pp. 26–30) describes procedural mechanisms for the compensation of damages within the judicial system of the European Union.
• Therefore, according to Đorđević (2016, pp. 28–29), other solutions from comparative law should also be taken into account.

Other authors’ ideas may also be conveyed by paraphrasing:

• Therefore, in the preface to the reissued edition of the Draft Code of Obligations and Contracts, Perović concludes that every legal system allows freedom of contract, albeit only up to a certain limit (Konstantinović, 2006, p. 16).

If an unspecified range of pages is cited, only the initial page from which the quotation is taken should be given, followed by ‘et seq.’ (“and the following pages”). For example:

• All these theories may be divided into several groups (Čolović, 2009, p. 83 et seq.).

When referring to a source cited in a footnote, the abbreviation ‘fn.’ should be placed after the page number:

• The aforementioned solution is undoubtedly open to criticism (Jovanović, p. 8, fn. 14) ...

Verbatim quotation should be used sparingly, primarily to avoid misinterpretation of the original text, to highlight key arguments or ideas that will subsequently be analysed or refuted, or when the author’s wording is particularly effective and would lose force in paraphrase. In all cases, the exact page (or page range) must be indicated to allow readers to verify the source.

Shorter quotation of up to 30 words should form part of the sentence and should be enclosed in quotation marks. They may be presented as direct or indirect quotations, for example:

• As Stanković (1972, p. 177) points out, “non-property damage represents a distinct phenomenon and concept in itself”.

Or:

• All of these considerations support the view that “non-property damage represents a distinct phenomenon and concept in itself” (Stanković, 1972, p. 177).

Long quotations (over 30 words) should be introduced in the author’s own words, followed by the quotation in quotation marks. The author’s surname and the exact page (or page range) must be provided to allow the source to be identified and verified. The text may be quoted directly:

• The impossibility of using a destroyed thing may give rise to non-property damage, independently of pretium affectionis. According to Stanković (1972, p. 307), these are cases: “in which the impossibility of using the destroyed or damaged thing brings great disruption to the victim’s daily practical life, a chain reaction of various mistreatments and restrictions, which can represent a complete disorganisation of the victim’s way of life and daily habits”.

Indirectly, the same text may be quoted as follows:

• The impossibility of using a destroyed thing may give rise to non-property damage, regardless of pretium affectionis, in cases “in which the impossibility of using the destroyed or damaged thing introduces a major disruption in the victim’s daily practical life, a chain reaction of various mistreatment and restrictions, which can represent a complete disorganisation of the victim’s way of life and daily habits” (Stanković, 1972, p. 307).

Long quotations should preferably be set out in a separate indented line following a colon, in smaller font (11 pt), with the source and page number clearly indicated.

An omitted portion of a word in a quotation should be indicated by three dots in square brackets, for example:

• According to the Canadian Bills of Exchange Act, “In the case of a bill that has been dishonoured, the holder may recover from any party liable on the bill [...] the damages prescribed in section 133” (Bills of Exchange Act, 1985, s. 134).

A work by two authors. When referring to a work by two authors in the same sentence, whether they hold similar or opposing views, both authors’ surnames should be given together with the year(s) of publication, as in the following examples:

• Both Đorđević (2012, p. 34) and Mrvić Petrović (2011, pp. 86–87) argue that the introduction of monetary fines has not achieved the desired effects in the legal system of the Republic of Serbia.
• Causation in cases of omission is explained differently under the aliud agere theory and the theory of a previously undertaken act (see Welp, 1968, p. 30, for the former and Rudholphi, 1972, for the latter).

Naming two or three authors of the same work. In the text, a joint work should be cited by quoting the surnames of all authors, linked by ‘&’, and followed by the year of publication in brackets.

• We should pay particular attention to the relationship between the state and the Church (Đorđević & Stanić, 2015, p. 63).
• In their work, Nikolić & Čović (2018) pointed out that...
• A comparative legal study (Mrvić Petrović & Petrović, 2018) confirms that...
• Mrkšić, Popović & Novaković (2018, pp. 477-479) analyse...

Works with more than three authors. In the text, only the first author’s surname should be quoted, followed by the commonly used abbreviation ‘et al.’ (et alia). For example:

• Ćeranić et al. (2018) confirmed that...

Multiple works by the same author published in the same year. In the text, the author’s surname and the year of publication should be followed by lowercase Latin letters (a, b, c, etc.) to distinguish between different works, as in the following example:

• The type of guilt in question should certainly receive greater attention (Ćirić, 2004a, p. 70) ...
• In addition to “hard power”, “soft power” should not be overlooked... (Ćirić, 2004b, p. 334).

Works published by organisations as authors. Where a text is published by an organisation (legal entity, association, institution, international or non-governmental organisation, etc.), and no individual author is specified, the name of the organisation and the year of publication should be quoted in the text. Standard official abbreviations of international organisations or their bodies may also be used, for example:

• It is of crucial importance to research electoral processes in domestic and foreign law (Institute for Comparative Law, 2013, pp. 32–35).
• Media and information technologies can provide such spaces to allow different groups to interact, as stated in The Tallinn Guidelines on National Minorities and the Digital Age (OSCE, 2019).

Works by unknown authors. Where the author is not identified, the title of the work should be used in place of the author’s name:

• In Theory of State and Law (1995, p. 204) it is clearly stated...

Works with no known publication year. Where the year of publication is not available, the abbreviation ‘n. d.’ (“no date”) should be used in place of the year, as in the following examples:

• Zirojević (n. d.) points to the features of terrorism...
• Or indirectly: The characteristics of modern terrorism are... (Zirojević, n. d.).

Secondary references. Where the primary source cannot be consulted directly but is cited through another author’s work, authors should refer to both the original (primary) source and the secondary reference, as follows:

• Zlatarić (1967), as cited by Kambovski (2005, p. 701), also includes within the concept of actions undertaken before or after the completion of the criminal act.

Or:

• Earlier theory held that co-perpetration also includes actions undertaken before or after the completion of the criminal offense (Zlatarić, 1967, cited in Kambovski, 2005, p. 701).

Regulations. In accordance with the rule that legislation should not be included in the list of references, cited regulations should instead be indicated in footnotes at the relevant point in the main text. When citing legislation, the basic details of the act and the year of the most recent version must be provided, together with the numbers of the official gazettes in which they were published, or details of electronic sources, where applicable, as available on the official website of the competent authority or obtained from the relevant public service responsible for publishing legal texts and monitoring amendments. Authors may use the original text of the act or its officially published translation into English (or another language), which must be clearly indicated.

Article, paragraph, and point of a regulation should be abbreviated as ‘Art(s).’, ‘para(s).’, and ‘pt(s).’ respectively, without a full stop after numerals. For example:

• Art. 5, para. 2, pt. 3; or Arts. 5, 6, 9 and 10; or Art. 4–12.

 

Case law and decisions of other authorities/bodies. When citing case law or decisions issued by other authorities or bodies, authors should provide as complete information as possible. This includes the type of decision, the administrative body or the Constitutional Court, the name of the decision-maker, and all relevant identifying details. Such details may include the procedural classification (e.g. a letter indicating the type of procedure), the case or application number, or the year in which the proceedings were initiated, where applicable. The citation should also state the date of the decision and, where available, and the source from which it has been obtained. In summary, references must include the name of the issuing authority, the case number, the date of the decision, and any other information necessary to ensure precise identification of the decision. In the case of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, the application number should also be included as a relevant identifying reference.

In accordance with the above rule, judicial decisions and decisions of other public authorities should be quoted in footnotes rather than in the main text of the article. They should not be included in the reference list at the end of the article.

The case law of international courts or tribunals should be quoted using the official court abbreviations, such as ICJ, PCIJ, ICTY, ICTR, and ECtHR, followed by the case name, the type of decision, the date of adoption, the publication in which the decision appears, and the relevant page number. In the case of judgments of international criminal tribunals, the case name should be followed by an indication of the judicial chamber, together with, where appropriate, information on any separate court opinions, if the author refers to them in the work. In the case of judgements of the European Court of Human Rights, the application number must also be included. The case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union must be cited using the European Case Law Identifier (ECLI). Domestic and foreign court judgments, legal opinions, and similar materials, as well as decisions of international courts, may also be cited with reference to electronic legal databases from which they were obtained (e.g., Paragraf Lex, Intermex, EUR-Lex, CURIA, Lexiweb.co.uk, Légifrance, HUDOC, etc.).

The following examples illustrate different referencing forms:

• Legal understanding, 1999. Legal understanding determined through answers to questions at the session of the Department for Commercial Disputes of the Higher Commercial Court on 6 October 1999, available in the electronic legal database Paragraf Lex.
• Decision of the Constitutional Court, 2017.

Decisions of international courts and tribunals should include as full details as possible, including the type of decision, information on the composition of the judicial panel, the date of the decision, the usual case name, the registration number, any applicable code, and the page, paragraph, or point to which reference is made or from which a passage is quoted. Such decisions should be cited using standard abbreviations for the court names, for example PCIJ, ECtHR, ICJ and ICTY. When citing case law, the abbreviation ‘v’ should be used in place of ‘versus’, e.g. Fremkin v Russia, Goobald v Mahmood.

When citing the European Court of Human Rights case law, the application number should also be included.

• For example: Borodin v Russia, application no. 41867/04, judgment of the ECHR, 6 February 2013, p. 166.

The Court of Justice of the European Union case law is cited using the European Case Law Identifier (ECLI). For example:

• Judgment of the General Court (Second Chamber) of 13 October 2015. Intrasoft International SA v European Commission (Case 403/12, ECLI:EU:T:2015:774).

Internet sources. Where internet content is used in the work, it should be cited in the same manner as other sources, provided that the author, publishing organisation or public authority is known. In the reference list, it should be clearly indicated that the source is available online, either by providing the relevant URL or by identifying the article as containing a DOI number. As electronically available sources rarely include page numbers, precision in referencing should be achieved by citing sections, paragraphs, or other internal numbering where these are provided in the text.

List of references

A list of references should be provided at the end of the paper. It should include all bibliographic sources cited in the work. Please note that legal sources and court rulings should be cited exclusively in the footnotes in the text and should not be included in the list of references.

In the reference list, bibliographic entries (references) should be sorted alphabetically by author surname. Where the author is unknown, entries should be sorted by the first letter of the organisation’s name. If neither author nor organisation is identified, entries should be sorted alphabetically by the first word of the title of the bibliographic unit. In cases of co-authorship, the names of all authors should be provided where there are up to three co-authors. Where there are more than three authors, only the first author should be named, followed by ‘et al.’
