„Ekonomska misao i praksa“ je recenzirani akademski časopis za ekonomsku teoriju i praksu koji izdaje Sveučilište u Dubrovniku.

Svi radovi u časopisu Ekonomska misao i praksa šalju se na dvije anonimne recenzije, pri čemu recenzenti ne znaju tko su autori rada, niti autori znaju tko su recenzenti. Kako bi se ovo omogućilo, autori trebaju poslati dvije verzije svojih radova, „potpunu“ verziju koju će vidjeti samo glavni urednik i „skrivenu“ verziju bez imena i adresa autora i bez referenci koje bi mogle upućivati na autora (verzija za recenzente).

Poslane radove će prvo pregledati urednik koji ih je zaprimio. Radovi koji ne spadaju u djelokrug koji pokriva EMiP bit će odbijeni bez pregledanja. (Oni koji su na granici mogu biti poslani savjetodavnom uredniku koji je stručnjak za tu temu.) Radovi koji su dostavljeni časopisu EMiP, a prikladniji su za objavljivanje u časopisu koji pokriva drugo polje, mogu također biti odbijeni bez recenzije (prema naputku savjetodavnog urednika). Osim toga, radovi koji ne ispunjavaju minimum standarda kvalitete i originalnosti bit će odbijeni bez slanja recenzentima.

Nakon inicijalnog pregleda urednika, radovi se upućuju na recenziju kod tri recenzenta. Ako jedan ili više recenzenata odbije napraviti recenziju, osigurat će se drugi recenzenti. Uobičajena je praksa da su potrebne dvije mjerodavne recenzije prije nego što izvršni urednik odluči prihvatiti, odbiti ili tražiti revidiranje i vraćanje rada na recenziju.

Kada vraćaju rad s prihvaćenim sugestijama recenzenta, autori također moraju dostaviti i popratno pismo u kojem se navode izmjene u radu i označene su stranice na kojima su izmjene napravljene.

Časopis izlazi dva puta godišnje (lipanj i prosinac). Radovi moraju biti dostavljeni najkasnije 31. ožujka za objavu u lipnju, i najkasnije do 30. rujna za objavu u prosincu.

Radovi se mogu predati i objaviti na hrvatskom i engleskom jeziku.

Autori koji žele objaviti svoje radove u ovom časopisu trebaju ih dostaviti Uredništvu na e-mail: ekon.misao@unidu.hr.

Uredništvo zaprima radove napisane u skladu sa sljedećim naputcima:

• Rad treba biti napisan u Wordu za Windows.
• Format stranice je A4 s dvostrukim proredom (uključujući fusnote i reference).
• Na naslovnoj stranici obavezno je navesti naslov rada, ime autora, akademsku titulu, naziv ustanove u kojoj je autor zaposlen, te radno mjesto.
• Grafikoni (slike) trebaju biti odvojeno prikazani u originalnom grafičkom formatu.
• Članak ne bi trebao biti duži od 25 stranica (1.5 kartica), uključujući popis literature.
• Svaki rad mora imati sažetak i ključne pojmove. U sažetku treba dati suštinu rada (informaciju metodološkog karaktera) i objasniti rezultat rada. Sažetak mora imati najviše 150 riječi, odnosno najviše 15 redaka. Sažetak dolazi iza naslova, a mora biti jasan i pisan u trećem licu na hrvatskom i engleskom jeziku.
• Popis literature navodi se na kraju rada i uključuje djela na koja se autor poziva u radu. Složen je po abecednom redu prezimena autora navedenih djela. Podaci o djelu moraju sadržavati izdavača, mjesto i godinu izdavanja.

Autor dobiva besplatan primjerak časopisa u kojem je njegov rad objavljen.
