Author Guidelines

Submission and peer-review process

The journal welcomes papers that fall into one of the following categories:

• Original papers – standard articles based on theoretical or empirical research, providing a clear discussion of results that extends beyond a single case study.
• Regional reviews – reviews with a specific thematic and regional focus (typically covering a region consisting of several countries), offering authoritative summaries of the state of the art and outlining future research and practice challenges. Bibliographic reviews not meeting these requirements are rejected from the evaluation.
• Discussion papers – contributions offering critical and authoritative perspectives on recent issues and methodologies.

The journal also publishes Special Issues and thematic collections of papers. The publication of Special and Thematic Issues is subject to prior approval by the editorial board, based on an evaluation of submitted proposals.

Manuscripts prepared in accordance with the Instructions for Authors should be submitted directly to the Managing Editor (pavel.raska[at]ujep.cz).

All manuscripts undergo an initial evaluation by the editorial board (Editor-in-Chief, Managing Editor, and field editors). Following a positive assessment, manuscripts proceed to a double-blind peer-review process.
