INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS    General instructions The journal Annals of the Croatian Political Science Association primarily publishes papers in the scientific field of political science. Aside from that, the journal publishes manuscripts from communication science (communication theory, mass media and public relations), and other fields of social sciences and humanities, such as sociology, economy, law, history and philosophy. The journal is published once a year, usually by the end of the first half of the year following the year the edition relates to. The journal only publishes peer-reviewed manuscripts. Peer-reviewed papers are categorized as follows: - original (scholarly) paper - previous notation - compendium paper - conference proceeding - technical paper An original scholarly paper contains unpublished original research in an objectively verifiable manner. A previous notation contains new results of scientific research, which demand urgent publishing. It does not have to enable a verification of the results portrayed. A compendium paper must be an original, summarized and critical portrayal of an area or a part of an area the authors is active in. The role of the author's original contribution in that area must be emphasized in regards to already published works and the overview of those works. A conference proceeding, previously referenced on such a conference, it must be published in the form of a complete paper, and only if it was not previously published. A technical paper contains useful contributions from a specific profession and does not have to represent an original research. By accepting the categorization and publication of the paper, the authors is obliged not to publish the same paper somewhere else without specifying that it was and when it was first published in the Annals of the Croatian Political Science Association. The categories of scientific and technical papers are suggested by the reviewer, and the final decision, based on the peer-reviews, is made by the Editorial Board.
