Author Guidelines
FU Arch Civ Eng publishes research articles, reviews, case studies. Publishing in FU Arch Civ Eng is free of charge.
In order to create/register an account for submitting a paper, first time authors are to contact the Computer Support at mile@ni.ac.rs stating your first name, last name, affiliation with the link, and your email. We will then send you back an email with your login parameters. Once you receive your parameters from us you will then be able to log in and begin article submission.
As an author, you are kindly advised to use the instructions for authors. This way you have nothing to change in terms of paper and text format. Simply applying the styles defined in the document will be sufficient.
Paper submitted for publication must be written in English and submitted in the final camera-ready form. It is mandatory to submit your original work in Microsoft Word format (.doc not .docx) by using our online manuscript submission system. You have to make “New Submission” and upload your paper by using the online interface. All subsequent versions should be uploaded by using the same paper ID and your defined password. We are unable to process files sent by E-mail.
Research articles must contain an adequate overview of the representative work in the field including up-to-date references, clear statement of the novelty in the presented research, suitable theoretical background, one or more case studies to demonstrate and discuss the presented ideas and, finally, conclusions.
Author full name and affiliation are to be placed underneath the title. The postal address of the corresponding author's affiliation is to be given in the footnote of the first page.
Each paper should be preceded by a brief summary (100-250 words). The text should be concise.
Letters, figures, and symbols should be clearly denoted so that no doubts about their meaning can arise. Symbols which may lead to confusion (e.g. letter I and figure 1, figure 0 and letter O) should be distinguished by marks which are explained in “Remarks for the typesetter”.
Equations should be typewritten using the Word's Equation Editor. All equations should be numbered, whereby the number is placed in parentheses at the right margin. Reference to equations should use the form "Eq. (2)". Equation Editor should be avoded in the plain text as much as possible. Please use symbols, subscript, superscript, etc. to write the quantities typical for equations.
All figures should be numbered with consecutive Arabic numbers, have descriptive captions, and be mentioned in the text. Figures submitted must be of a standard high enough for direct reproduction. Line drawings should be prepared in electronic form. Figures should be planned in advance, so as to allow reduction to 12.75 cm in column width.
References should be quoted in the text by the corresponding number in square brackets and listed at the end of the manuscript in the order they appear in the text, in the same way as the following examples (for a paper in a journal, a book, for an unpublished paper, a conference paper, and PhD thesis):
