Submitting to Organizacija goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Organizacija guide for authors before peer review, so formatting, structure, and required statements should be right on the first draft rather than repaired during upload. This template sets that structure up for you.
It is a manuscript shell aligned to Organizacija. It covers front matter, the abstract the journal expects, a body organized to the journal's article types, and a reference list in the journal's required style. Confirm current scope and article types on the Organizacija journal page before you draft.
Prepare the title, authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs. Write the abstract to the journal's rule and word limit, organize the body to the article type, and apply the required reference style from the first citation. Complete every declaration (ethics, competing interests, funding, data availability) the Organizacija guide for authors lists, and cite figures and tables in order.
The common failure modes are formatting or reference style that does not match the guide for authors, missing required statements, and an incomplete portal checklist. Clear all three against the Organizacija guide for authors before you submit.
The shell mirrors what editorial staff check first: article-type fit, the abstract rules, required declarations, and the journal's reference style. For more detail see the author resources. When your draft is ready, upload it through the journal author guide / editorial office.
| Element | Organizacija requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Structured in four paragraphs: Background/Purpose, Methods, Results, and Conclusion; maximum 200 words. The abstract should not contain literature citations or allusions to tables or figures |
| Main text | Maximum article length is 10,000 words, inclusive of the abstract, tables, references, figure captions, and footnotes. Research papers and review articles should follow the structure: Introduction (including literature review), Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion (the last part of Discussion or a separate chapter), followed by Acknowledgements, References, and, as appropriate, Appendices. A short biographical note (maximum 80 words per author) is included only in the final revised and accepted paper |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | Authors should list no more than 7 keywords, separated by semicolons |
| References | APA style. The guide also says to use British Standard 2979 for transliteration of Cyrillic characters and recommends a maximum of 50 references for an empirical article |
| Peer review | Double-blind peer review: the identities of both authors and reviewers are concealed throughout the review process. Manuscripts passing editorial screening are sent to at least two independent reviewers |

Read the Organizacija guide for authors once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after results are stable. Set the reference style before adding citations. Keep a cover letter that states your contribution and fit to Organizacija in under a page.
Skim two or three recent Organizacija papers to calibrate depth and figure style. Make the novelty clear in the first two pages. Deposit data and code when the policy on the Organizacija journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the Organizacija guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal author guide / editorial office.
