Author Guidelines

Educational issues publish theoretical, research and methodological works from scientific disciplines related to the field of education. The editorial office accepts only those works that have not been previously published or are in the peer review process at another journal. Papers are published in Croatian or English. Papers are reviewed by two reviewers ("blind review"). The authors retain the copyright for the articles published in the journal, but with their consent to publication, they give the journal the right to the first publication in printed and electronic form. The editors reserve the right to adapt the manuscript to the journal's propositions and Croatian and English language standards.

Papers, written with 1.5 spacing (Times New Roman font, size 12, double-sided alignment, margins 2 cm), are received by e-mail to the journal's address casopis@ufri.uniri.hr or by journal's web.

  1. The length of the paper (including abstract, notes, literature and graphic attachments) should not exceed 7000 words. The text of a scientific paper basically consists of the following parts: Introduction, Methodology, Results, Discussion and Conclusion. In the text of the paper, the beginning of the paragraph should be indented (1.25 cm).
  2. On the first page of the paper, only the name and surname of the author (without the title), the name and address of the institution where the author is employed (or home address) and the e-mail address should be stated. If there are several authors on the work, specify the contact person.
  3. Abstracts in Croatian and English, up to 200 words, should be attached to the paper. The abstract should contain a description of the topic of the work, presentation of the methodology, main results and conclusion. After the abstract, up to five keywords should be listed in alphabetical order, separated by semicolons (;).
  4. Graphic attachments (tables, graphs, pictures, etc.) must be black and white, created in Word, and attached within the text of the paper in the places where they are found. The titles of tables, graphs and figures are located above the tables and begin with a label and numbering, for example: Table 1. Title of the table; Image 1. Image title, written in Times New Roman font size 10, bold. In the case of downloading an attachment from another source, the authors themselves are obliged to provide permission.

The source is placed in parentheses and contains the author's last name (works by up to three authors), the year of publication and, in case of citation, the page number (Last Name, Year) or (Last Name 1 and Last Name 2, Year, Page). If the paper has four or more authors, the form "et al." is used (last name of the first author et al., year). Marks »ibid.«, »op. cit." etc. are not used.

  7. Only works mentioned in the text are included in the list of literature, in alphabetical order according to the author's last name, and in chronological order if they are works by the same author. If several works by the same author published in one year are cited, letters (a, b, c, etc.) are added after the year of publication. For the joint work of several authors, all authors are listed in the bibliography.

Privacy Statement

Personal Data Protection

The protection of personal data of individuals is regulated by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679) and the Data Protection Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia “Narodne novine” no. 42/2018).

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Regulation no. 2016/679 of the European Parliament and the European Council of 27 April 2016, concerning the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of their personal data and the free movement of such data. The Regulation entered into force on 25 May 2018 and is directly applicable in all Member States.

At the Faculty of Teacher Education, personal data is collected to fulfill legal obligations, fulfill obligations of public interest, executing public authorities and contracts. Accordingly, the Faculty collects and processes only appropriate and relevant personal data and only for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes. The personal data of our students, employees, external associates and other persons with whom we cooperate in performing our activities is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently, where the security of such data is protected from unauthorized or illegal processing and technical and organizational protection measures are applied.

What is personal data?

Personal data is all data relating to an individual whose identity has been or can be established (“data subject”), where an individual or data subject, as identified by the Regulation, is a person who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by a name, identification number, location data, a network identifier, etc. or by one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that individual.

What does the concept of personal data processing include?

Processing means any procedure or set of procedures carried out on personal data or personal data sets, either through automated or non-automated means, such as collecting, recording, organizing, structuring, storing, adapting or modifying, locating, inspecting, using, detecting by transmission, by disseminating or making available otherwise, adjusting or combining, restricting, deleting or destroying data.

Why is your personal data processed?

The Faculty collects and processes personal data to the extent necessary to meet the obligations of the Faculty’s regular activities established by law and other regulations and in accordance with the Act on Scientific Activity and Higher Education and other regulations that we apply in our work.

The Faculty acts in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation and the Act on the Implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation and preserves the confidentiality of personal data recorded in data collections and records kept by the Faculty, for which the Faculty has the right and authority to access and process.

The Faculty does not submit or make available personal data, to which it has the right and authority to access and process, or make it available to third (unauthorized) parties in any other way, except in cases when it means executing statutory and other legal obligations of the Faculty towards third authorized parties, national authorities and institutions.

The Faculty processes personal data when its processing is necessary for performing tasks of public interest and official authority and for compliance with legal obligations, in accordance with the law or other regulations of the Republic of Croatia and the EU law. The Faculty processes personal data only to the extent necessary to achieve the lawful purpose of processing.

What is consent?

Consent of a data subject means any voluntary, specific, informed, and unambiguous expression of the wishes of the data subject, whereby they agree to the processing of personal data relating to them by issuing a statement or another clear act of confirmation. Consent is one of the legal grounds for the processing of your personal data and is necessary when there is no other legal basis for collecting and processing data.

BASIC PRINCIPLES IN PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency

Your personal data at the Faculty of Teacher Education is processed exclusively on a lawful basis – on the basis of a legal obligation, your consent/agreement, or other legitimate grounds. Data relating to you will be collected, used, made available, or otherwise processed in a transparent manner, and the deadlines and purposes of data processing, data on the controller’s identity, as well as information on how you can access your data, file a complaint of request data updating, are all made publicly available.

Purpose limitation

Your personal data will be collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and will not be further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes. Data collected for one purpose will not be used for any other purpose or in a manner that is incompatible with the initial purpose. You will be asked to give specific consent if the purpose of data processing is not carried out on a lawful or contractual basis.

Data minimization

The personal data we collect is adequate, relevant, and limited for the purpose of processing. The controller and the processor will not collect personal data that is not needed for the purpose of processing.

Data accuracy and integrity

It is essential that the personal data we collect and store is accurate and up-to-date and we will therefore take every reasonable measure to ensure that inaccurate personal data is deleted or corrected without delay while taking into account the purposes for which it is processed.

Storage limitation

The time limits for storing your personal data are determined by positive legal regulations and internal acts of the Faculty of Teacher Education.

Integrity and confidentiality

We will take all reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data from unauthorized or unlawful processing, loss, destruction, and corruption. We will monitor the access, use, and maintenance of personal data and continuously improve our security measures in accordance with technological developments.
