Peer Review Process
The main criteria for acceptance of an article for publication in FU Phys Chem Tech are high quality, originality, novelty and importance. The journal publishes full-length original papers, short communications, and reviews extended versions of already published conference/journal papers. Papers for publication are selected through peer review to ensure originality, relevance and readability. Typescripts submitted to the journal are analysed by ad hoc referees. The aim of FU Phys Chem Tech is to publish peer reviewed research and review articles, in order to provide researchers worldwide free online access to high-quality articles of outstanding scientific significance.
Editors reserve the right to modify accepted manuscripts that do not conform to scientific, technical, stylistic or grammatical standards, and alterations of this nature may not be seen by authors until the final publication.
Statement of Publication Ethics
The editors of FU Phys Chem Tech Journal are seriously concerned about the increase of plagiarism and other forms of fraud and misconduct in academic publishing.
We consider it an essential part of our ethical responsibilities as editors to be aware of and to meet these challenges and to develop strategies for coping with them. We expect the same awareness of our journal's peer reviewers.
Likewise, FU Phys Chem Tech Journal is committed to ethical standards in its own editorial policy. The editors of the Journal do their best to ensure fair, unbiased, and transparent peer review processes and editorial decisions.
Any detected cases of misconduct, whether on the part of authors, reviewers or editors, will be vigorously pursued.
To support and promote integrity in research publication, we fully endorse the position statements for editors and authors that were developed at the 2nd World Conference on Research Integrity in Singapore in 2010 (International Standards for Editors and International Standards for Authors).

These articles are citable through their doi number as follows:
Name(s) of Author(s), FU Phys Chem Technol (YEAR), doi: 10.2298/FUPCTXXXXXXXXXY (X and Y should be replaced with numbers and letter of exact doi)
This “raw” version of the manuscript is being provided to the authors and readers for their technical service. It must be stressed that the manuscript still has to be subjected to copyediting, typesetting, English grammar and syntax corrections, professional editing and authors’ review of the galley proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during these publishing processes, many errors may emerge which could affect the final content of the manuscript and all legal disclaimers applied according to the policies of the Journal.
