General instructions

Submit your contributions by e-mail (analiza@drustvo-daf.si). A summary (in Slovenian and English) summarizing the main points of the work must be attached. The English abstract must also have an English title. The abstract should not exceed 150 words. At the end of the abstract, list up to 5 keywords (descriptors). For example, Keywords: philosophy of language, metaphor, analogy.

Contributions should not exceed one and a half author's pages (45,000 characters with spaces). Use Word text editor, standard font without additional style specifications. They should be double-spaced; for literature, notes, and abstracts, use single spacing. Contributions should be internally structured, i.e., divided into sections and, if possible, provided with subheadings. Use double quotation marks consistently throughout the text (for example, when citing articles, quoting words or sentences, and when citing technical and special terms). The exception is quotations within quotations. In these cases, use single quotation marks. The titles of books, periodicals, and foreign words should be written in italics. Examples: Critique of Practical Reason, Anthropos, a priori.

The 7th edition of the APA standards should be used for citing and referencing sources.

Only include footnotes that are not too long below the line. Footnotes should be marked with superscript numbers in the text.¹ Do not use footnotes to cite references.

Due to the anonymous review process, please write your name and contact details in a separate document and ensure that your identity cannot be deduced from the article itself.

We also accept book reviews (up to 12,000 characters with spaces).

The editorial board does not accept contributions that have already been published or simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. All authors must agree to the publication. All moral copyrights belong to the author, while all material copyrights for the article are transferred to the publisher free of charge. The author also grants permission for online publication.

Research data management

 

Analiza: časopis za kritično misel supports open access to research data, which form the basis of modern scientific research.

About research data

Research data are data obtained through various methods to understand, test or confirm hypotheses and draw conclusions, and are generated or processed during research. It can be in various formats: notes, interviews, photographs, transcripts, numerical research data, software code, etc. If data is not recorded/stored in digital form, it is advisable to consider whether this material can be digitized to facilitate its storage in a data repository. A data repository enables storage and access to different types of data (e.g. research data, public sector data, etc.) and associated documentation.

The availability of data increases the transparency and verifiability of research results and improves their usability in future studies, thereby increasing the investment in already collected data. Data sharing can also promote the professional development of researchers by increasing the visibility of their work and facilitating collaboration with new partners.

Policy on the mandatory citation of research data

According to the Decree on the implementation of scientific research work in accordance with the principles of open science, the journal co-funder (Slovenian Research and Innovation Agency) requires the editorial board to provide open access to the research data used in the article prior to publication. The data must be prepared according to the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).

Exceptions to open access to research data

If data cannot be fully shared for legal, ethical or other valid reasons, the authors must provide justification – for example, in cases involving the protection of personal data (see the EU General Data Protection Regulation , material containing trade secrets or other commercially sensitive information regulated by legislation, or data involving security risks. The regulation defines open access to research data and other results from co-funded research according to the principle “as open as possible, as closed as necessary”.

List of trusted repositories

Authors must deposit research data in trusted data repositories, archives or centers that provide appropriate access arrangements. The trusted repositories recommended by the journal’s co-funder are listed here.

The editorial board recommends that Slovenian researchers deposit their research data in trusted national repositories, such as:

• Digital Library of the University of Maribor
• Digital Repository of Research Organizations of Slovenia (DiRROS)
• Repository of the University of Ljubljana
• Repository of the University of Nova Gorica
• Repository of the University of Primorska
• Slovenian Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure (CLARIN.SI)
• Slovenian Social Science Data Archives (ADP)

Authors can also search for a suitable repository using tools such as https://fairsharing.org or https://www.re3data.org.

We recommend using the Creative Commons licenses CC BY 4.0 or CC0 1.0 (or equivalent) when publishing research data.

Citation of research data

Authors must cite all data sources appropriately – in accordance with the repository’s instructions and the journal’s citation style (i.e. APA 7 Style) – or explain in the data availability statement if the data has not been digitized or has not been published due to other restrictions (e.g. Personal Data Protection Act (ZVOP-2), Copyright and Related Rights Act (ZASP)). A link to the published research data (e.g. DOI) must be provided in the reference list of the article and, if applicable, in a footnote.

Responsibilities of authors, editors and reviewers

The data must be available to the editors and reviewers at the time of submission of the manuscript and to the public at the latest when the article is published. An embargo on data access is only permitted in exceptional cases and must be accompanied by appropriate embargo conditions and a reasoned explanation. It is the editor’s responsibility to assess whether the article is based on research data (either the author’s own data or third-party data). If the editor determines that such data exists and has not been properly cited, he or she must ask the author to revise the article. The same applies to the journal's reviewers.
