Article structure
The structure of article should comprise: the title, abstract, key words, introduction, subtitles, conclusion and bibliography. Articles can also be structured in the followingway:
introduction, starting hypotheses, solutions, discussion, conclusion and bibliography. Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections (1, 2, 3...). Subsectionsshould be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2 ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not includedinsection numbering). The structure of article should comprise: An Article Title Page should be submittedalongside each individual article.This should include:
Article Title Page – An Article Title Page should be submitted alongside each individual article. This should include:
Article Title - A title of not more than eight words should be provided. Longer titles maybeapproved by the editorial board (Times New Roman, capital letters, center, bold, , size14pt). (Style: E_Title)

Article Classification – That article are classified in the following categories: Original scientific paper, Review scientific paper, Preliminary communication, Scientific criticism, Informative annex and Book review.
Abstract - The abstract must include sufficient information for readers to judge the natureand significance of the topic, the adequacy of the investigative strategy, the nature of theresults and the conclusions. The abstract is not an introduction, it summarizes thesubstantive results of the work, not merely listing the topics that are discussed in the paper. The abstract should contain the main idea of the paper, the subject and the goal of theresearch, methods used, hypotheses, research results and a brief conclusion. It must have 200 to 250 words.(Times New Roman, 10pt, justify align ). (Style: E_Abstract_Header; E_Abstract)
Key words – Immediately after the abstract; key words summarize the contents of thepaper (Times New Roman, Italic, 10pt) provide a maximum of 10 keywords.(Style:
E_keywords)
JEL classification – Please provide up to 6 standard JEL codes. (Times NewRoman, 10pt)The available codes may be accessed at JEL: http://www.aeaweb.org/journal/jel_class_system.html
Introduction – Its purpose is to state clearly the investigated problemand providethereader with relevant background information. It states the objectives of the workandprovides an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summaryof theresults.
Methods - Its purpose is to describe the experiment in such detail that a competent
colleague could repeat the experiment and obtain some or equivalent results. It shouldprovide enough details to allow the work to be reproduced. Already published methodsshould be indicated witha reference: only relevant modifications should be described.
Results – Its purpose is to present new information gained in the study. It should be clearand concise. Results are the core of the paper. The Results section shouldn`t start withdescribing methods that were inadvertently omitted from the Materials and Methodssection. Results mustbe written in the past tense.
Discussion – The final section of an IMRAD paper. Its purpose is to fit the results fromthecurrent study into the preexisting fabric of knowledge. The important points will beexpressed as conclusions. This should explore the significance of the results, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensivecitations and discussion of published literature.
Conclusion – The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusionssection, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results andDiscussion section. Conclusions should provide a summary of important findings andtheirimplicants to the area of research that is the forms of the article.
Technical presentation
Subtitles must be short, clearly defined and numbered, except for Introduction and Conclusion. All tables and figures need to support your research findings. They should be clearly referred to and numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals.
Tables. All tables are to be numbered using Arabic numerals. Tables should always be cited in the text in consecutive numerical order. For each table, please supply a table caption (title) explaining the components of the table. Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the table caption.
Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data) and included bellow the table.

Figures
Figures should be placed in the main text (no wrapping) separated from it by a spacing of 12 points. Utmost care must be taken to insert the figures in correct alignment with the text. Individual figures should be centred.
If a figure has parts, they should be clearly labeled as (a), (b), (c), etc. in the figure.
Figure 1. The caption which describes the figure in general: a) Description of what is containedinthe first part; b) Description of what is contained in the second part. (Style:E_Figure_title)
 |
The caption should be self-contained and placed above the figure, typed in the sentencecapitalization and centred. It should be preceded by the figure number (in bold), containabrief description of the figure and a key to interpreting various lines and symbols inthefigure (if needed).The captions can be typed at a font size of 10-11 points. Source shouldbenoted below the figure, underneath the caption details. All of the figures shouldbenumbered and have captions. They should be referred to in the textas Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc. Tryto place figures after and as close as possible to the point where they are first mentionedinthe text. Do not break figures. Format the figures as given in the template. Keepfigureswithin margins. Do not hyphenate words in figures. Generally, only original drawings orphotographic reproductions are acceptable. Should authors use figures fromotherPublications, they must ask the corresponding publishers to grant themthe right to publishthis material in their paper. The photocopies are acceptable if they are of a veryhighquality. Half-tone pictures should be in the form of glossy prints. If possible, include yourfigures as graphic images in the electronic version. For best quality the pictures shouldhavethe resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch).
Equations
There shoud be one line of space above the equation and one line of space below it before the text continues. Try to fit the whole equation into one line.
5 + 3y = 6 + 4y - 5 - 2y (1)
log2 (t +1)−log2 (t −1)=3 (2)
exp ( x ) + 29 = 12e (1/2) (3)
All the equations should be punctuated as if they were an ordinary part of the text. Punctuation appears after the equation but before the equation number. The order number shouldbe put in round brackets at the right-hand edge of the text in line with the equation. Equations should remain editable and not appear in a picture format. Type the mathematical equations in the simplest way possible. Make sure that your Equation Editor or MathType fonts, including sizes, are set up to match the text of your document.
Equations that are referred to in the text should be numbered sequentially throughout the text (i.e., (1), (2), (3)) or numbered by section (i.e., (1.1), (1.2), (2.1))
depending on author’s preference. Equations may be referred to in the text as Eq.(1).
The use of Word’s built-in Equation editor or the full MathType product is allowed.
References and Citation
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (andvice versa). All manuscripts should be formatted using the APA (American Psychological Association) references which are widely used in the social sciences, education, engineering and business.
1. Citing references in text
Placement References are cited in the text by the author's surname, the publication date of the work cited, and a page number if necessary. Full details are given in the referencelist. Place them at the appropriate point in the text. Repeat mentions in the same paragraph If name and year are in parentheses, includetheyear insubsequent citations. With a quotation This is the text, and Markovic (2018) says "quoted text" (p.1), whichsupports my argument. This is the text, and this is supported by "quoted text" (Markovic, 2018, p. 1). This is a displayed quotation. (Markovic, 2018, p. 1)
Page number (Markovic, 2018, p. 6)
One author Markovic (2018) or (Markovic, 2018)
Two authors Markovic and Jaksic (2018) or (Markovic & Jaksic, 2018)
Three to five authors
At first mention:
Markovic, Jaksic, Krstic, Pivac, and Cerketa (2018) or (Markovic, Jaksic, Krstic, Pivac, &Cerketa, 2018)
At subsequent mentions: Markovic et al. (2018) or (Markovic et al., 2018)
In cases where two or more references would shorten to the same form, retain all three names.
Six or more authors Markovic et al. (2018) or (Markovic et al., 2018)
Authors with same surname
G. Markovic (2018) and F. Markovic (2018)
G. Markovic (2018) and F. Markovic (2018)
No author Cite first few words of title (in quotation marks or italics depending on journal style for that type of work), plus the year: (“Study Finds,” 2017) If anonymous, put (Anonymous, 2018).
Groups of authors that would shorten to the same form
Cite the surnames of the first author and as many others as necessary to distinguish the two references, followed by comma and et al.
Organization as author
The name of an organization can be spelled out each time it appears in the text or you can spell it out only the first time and abbreviate it after that. The guiding rule is that the reader should be able to find it in the reference list easily.
Author with two works in the same year
Put a, b, c after the year (Cerketa, 2011a, 2011b, in press-a)
Secondary source
When it is not possible to see an original document, cite the source of your information on it; do not cite the original assuming that the secondary source is correct. Markovic's economic vocabulary (as cited in Krstic, 2018)
Classical work References to classical works such as the Bible and the Qur’an are citedonly in the text. Reference list entry is not required. Cite year of translation(Karadžić, trans. 1848).
Personal communication References to personal communications are cited onlyinthetext.
Unknown date (Author, n.d.)
Two dates (Author, 2009–2019) or Author (2009/2019)
