Citation in text:
Authors are obliged to use exclusively the author-date format according to the Chicago Manual of Style when citing and citing references, and more detailed information can be found on the website.
In the text, the author’s surname and the year of publication of the corresponding bibliographic unit are placed in parentheses without a comma between the author’s surname and the year, and if necessary, the page number separated by a comma is indicated, e.g.: (D’Andrade 1995) or (D’Andrade 1995, 37) or (Strauss and Quinn 1977, 121, 136) or (Marjanović 2008, 25–29). If several authors are cited in the same parenthesis, they are separated by a semicolon (;), and the order can be chronological, by importance or alphabetically, for example: (Matić 2011; Ćuković 2019). If several references of the same author are cited, the years are separated from each other by commas, and the last name of the author is not repeated, for example: (Kovačević 2009, 2011). When the author’s name is mentioned in the text, only the year of publication is placed in parentheses, but the author’s name is still included if it differs in the original from the transcription (primarily refers to foreign authors).
Footnotes (notes) at the bottom of the page should contain less important details, supplementary explanations, indications about the sources used (such as scientific materials, web pages, manuals, etc.), but they are not a substitute for cited literature. Quoting an author in a footnote is the same as in-text citation. Very long footnotes should be avoided.
Structure of the list of references (literature)
List of references (literature list) at the end of the work should be listed in alphabetical (or alphabetical) order of the last name of the author, and if several bibliographic units of the same author are listed that have the same year of publication, they are additionally marked with a small initial letter of the alphabet, e.g. (Matić 2010a).
Titles of books, monographs, anthologies and journals are written in italics. The names of daily newspapers, films, weeklies, magazines, pictures, etc. are also put in italics. Titles of texts from magazines and anthologies, as well as chapters of monographs, are placed under quotation marks. Website names are written in normal lowercase letters.
It is mandatory to specify the DOI number (Digital Object Identifier) if it exists. The DOI is placed at the end of the reference regardless of whether the text is taken from a print or electronic edition.
Books (monographs):
If there are three or more authors, the surname of the first author is written, and then the names and surnames of the other authors are added. In the citation in the text, only the name of the first author is given and the abbreviation et al. is added. After the title of the book, the place of publication is indicated first, followed by the publisher separated by a colon. If there are several publishers, they are separated by hyphens. If there are several places of publication, the name of only the first city is given.

Website:
Websites are cited within the running text or in a footnote and are usually omitted from the reference list. If the author wants to put a link to the website in the list of references, they can do it in the following way:
ch. 1927. Russische (Ostslavische) Volkskunde. Available at:
www.ceeol.com/search/book-detail?id=928420
Law on nationalization of rental buildings and construction land. Official Journal of the FNRJ no. 52/58. Available at: www.informator.rs/informator/tekstovi/privatizacija_102.htm-23k
Authors should pay attention to where commas, colons, and periods are placed. They should also pay attention to the fact that bibliographic units are listed by the letter in which they are printed (Cyrillic or Latin).
Each author can attach illustrations, tables, graphs, maps and similar to his work. Contributions must be related to the content of the text and sent in digital form. The author can insert the attached material into the text itself or attach it separately. In the second case, the author is obliged to clearly indicate in the text which attachment should be placed where.
Marking is done with ordinal numbers in the form:
Attachment name number [number].
Examples: Picture number 1; Table number 4; Map number 2…
The same tag must be in the appropriate place in the text.
The summary should be up to 300 words. The summary presents the problem discussed in the paper, the method used and the conclusions reached by the author. The summary must not contain footnotes, notes or attachments.
All other texts (reviews, bibliographies, chronicles, etc.) do not have an abstract, bibliography, or summary. Along with this type of texts, the author can attach appropriate illustrations, which must be marked according to the same principle that applies to attachments to scientific and professional works.
If the author has personally included attachments in the printed version of the text, they are obliged to provide the same attachments in digital form as separate files. In that case, the illustrations must be in one of the following formats: .jpg, .tiff, .bmp, with a resolution of at least 300 dpi. Tables are attached in .xls format, and graphs in .xlc or .xls format. If the author uses special characters or letters in the text, he is obliged to attach them to the electronic version of the text. The names of the files should contain the last name of the author and the name of the text or attachment. Examples: MaticShvatanjehijijene.doc; StojanovicSlika3.jpg; KovacevicTable2.xls.
Data sent to the Editorial Board via electronic media will not be returned. The editorial board can return the work to the author for revision if it deviates significantly from the stated rules.
