The journal Temida is an academic journal on victimization, gender and human rights, published by the Victimology Society of Serbia and the University of Belgrade – Faculty of Special Education and Rehabilitation.

Temida has been regularly published since 1998. From 1998 to 2023 it was published by the Victimology Society of Serbia, and since 2023 the co-publisher is the University of Belgrade – Faculty of Special Education and Rehabilitation.

Temida is an Open Access journal. All its content is available free of charge. Users can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search the full text of articles, as well as to establish HTML links to them, without having to seek the consent of the author or publisher. The journal does not charge any fees at submission, reviewing, and production stages.

The journal publishes scientific and professional articles and reviews of domestic and foreign authors devoted to problems of victims of crime, war, human rights’ violation and other forms of suffering (particularly focusing on problems of women, children, minorities, disabled persons and other categories of vulnerable victims), fear of crime, violation of human rights in prison and during criminal procedure, prevention of victimization, etc. Special emphasis is on all forms of gender based violence, as well as on other aspects of gender equality.

Temida is published three times a year. Each issue of the journal Temida contains the following sections: “Theme of the issue” in which scientific, review and professional articles dedicated to the theme of the issue are published; “Other themes” in which articles not specifically dedicated to the theme of the issue are published; “Conference reviews”, “Project reviews” and “Book reviews”.

Теmidа publishes articles in Serbian and English, with summaries in Serbian and English.

The journal is open to all researchers globally, regardless of gender, career stage or ethnic and religious affiliation.

Теmidа is a peer reviewed journal, which uses double blind (anonymous) review.

Temida is indexed in the DOI Serbia, DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals), EBSCO research database and the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), an edition of journals that extends the content of the Web of Science.

Digital copies of the journal are archived in the Digital Repository of the National Library of Serbia.

EDITORIAL RESPONSIBILITIES

Guidelines for the editorial policy of the journal Теmidа are established by the Advisory Board of the journal, while publishing activities are conducted by the Editorial Board.

Members of the Advisory Board are prominent scientists and professionals from Serbia and abroad. The number of the Advisory Board members is not limited. Editorial Board has nine members, who are assigned by the Executive Board of the Victimology Society of Serbia for a period of two years.

According to Article 9 of the Rulebook on Publishing of the Victimology Society of Serbia, activities related to the journal editing are conducted by the Editor-in-Chief and Deputy editor-in-chief, who are assisted by the Secretary of the Editorial Board and the Technical Editor.

The Editor-in-Chief of the journal Temida selects manuscripts for publishing, gives and obtains professional opinion, and is responsible for published publication. For each original scientific, review and professional article Editor-in-Chief is required to obtain professional opinion of two competent experts from Serbia or abroad.

The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for deciding which manuscripts will be published. The Editor-in-Chief is guided by the Editorial Policy and constrained by legal requirements in force regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism.

The Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to decide not to publish submitted manuscripts in case it is found that they do not meet relevant standards concerning the content and formal aspects. In regular circumstances, the Editorial Board informs the author whether the manuscript is accepted for publication within three months from the date of the manuscript submission.

The Editor-in-Chief must hold no conflict of interest with regard to the manuscripts he/she considers for publication. If an Editor-in-Chief feels that there is likely to be a perception of a conflict of interest in relation to his/her handling of a submission, the selection of reviewers and all decisions on the manuscript shall be made by the members of the Editorial Board. In case one or more members of the Editorial Board hold a conflict of interest regarding a submitted manuscript, these members shall withdraw from the selection of reviewers and all decisions related to the manuscript. Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board members are obligated to promptly report existence of a conflict of interest.

The Editor-in-Chief shall evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content free from any racial, gender, sexual, religious, ethnic, or political bias.

Editors and the Editorial Board members must not use unpublished materials disclosed in submitted manuscripts without the express written consent of the authors, and information and ideas presented in submitted manuscripts shall be kept confidential and must not be used for personal gain.

Editors and members of the Editorial Board shall take all reasonable measures to ensure that the reviewers remain anonymous to the authors before, during and after the evaluation process and the authors remain anonymous to reviewers until the end of the review procedure.

АUTHORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES

Authors warrant that their manuscript is their original work, that it has not been published before and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Parallel submission of the same manuscript to another journal constitutes misconduct and eliminates the manuscript from further consideration by Temida.

If a manuscript has previously been submitted elsewhere, authors should provide information about the previous reviewing process and its outcome. This provides an opportunity for authors to detail how subsequent revisions have taken into account previous reviews, and why certain reviewer comments were not taken into account. Information about the author’s previous reviewing experience is to the author’s advantage: it often helps the editors select more appropriate reviewers.

In case a submitted manuscript is a result of a research project, or its previous version has been presented at a conference in the form of an oral presentation (under the same or similar title), detailed information about the project, the conference, etc., shall be provided in the footnote, at the first page of the manuscript, right after the title.

A paper that has already been published in another journal cannot be reprinted in the journal Temida.

It is the responsibility of each author to ensure that manuscripts submitted to Temida are written with ethical standards in mind. Authors affirm that the article contains no unfounded or unlawful statements and does not violate the rights of the third parties. The Publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.

Content of the manuscript

Editorial Board of Temida is committed to serving the research community by ensuring that all articles include enough information to allow others to reproduce the work. A submitted manuscript should contain sufficient detail and references to permit reviewers and, subsequently, readers to verify the claims presented in it – e.g. provide complete details of the methods used, including time frames, etc. Authors are required to review the standards available for many research applications from Equator Network and use those that are relevant for the reported research applications. The deliberate presentation of false claims is a violation of ethical standards. Reviews and professional papers should be accurate and they should present an objective perspective.

Authors are exclusively responsible for the contents of the submitted manuscripts and must make sure that, if it is necessary, before publishing, to have permission from all involved parties or institutions directly involved in the research presented in the manuscript.

Authors wishing to include figures, tables or other materials that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright holder(s). Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors. In case of any dispute later (e.g. objection of the copyright holders that some material has been published without their permission), the journal publishes a correction or withdrawal of the manuscript and makes it clear that author(s) are responsible for mistake.

Inclusive Language

The journal Temida promotes accessible, and inclusive language to ensure that scientific research is widely understood and respectful of all individuals. To promote accessibility, authors should:

  • Use clear, simple language that is understandable across disciplines and for non-native English speakers;
  • Avoid overly technical or unnecessary terminology, unnecessary complexity, long sentences, repetition, uncommon acronyms and abbreviations, stereotypes, idiomatic speech, slang, and cultural assumptions;
  • Explain technical terms when needed;
  • Respect diversity and avoid implying superiority of any group based on gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, disability, health status, age, or socio-economic background.
  • Use inclusive and appropriate language in relation to race and ethnicity and provide participants with a comprehensive range of categories and subcategories to choose from when collecting self-reported racial or ethnic identity data, as well as the option to select multiple, not mutually exclusive categories;
  • Be cautious in generalizing findings from studies to groups simply on the basis of a shared identity category and provide the rationale behind any racial or ethnic groupings used in the Methods section;
  • Where it is necessary to make reference to the indigenous identity of a person or group, use the terms preferred by the person or group. If in doubt, ask the person or group;
  • Make a distinction between biological sex and socially constructed gender. Use self-identified pronouns and gender-neutral terms (e.g., “chairperson” instead of “chairman”);
  • Avoid discriminatory language and offensive terms.

Authorship
Authors must make sure that only contributors who have significantly contributed to the manuscript are listed as authors and, conversely, that all contributors who have significantly contributed to the content of the manuscript are listed as authors. If persons other than authors were involved in important aspects of the research project and the preparation of the manuscript, their contribution should be acknowledged in a footnote or the Acknowledgments section.

The addition or removal of authors during the editorial process will only be permitted only if a justifiable explanation is provided to the editorial team and publisher. Attempts to introduce ‘ghost’, ‘gift’ or ‘honorary’ authorship will be treated as cases of misconduct.

Acknowledgment of sources

Authors are required to properly cite sources that have significantly influenced their research and their manuscript. Information received in a private conversation or correspondence with third parties, in reviewing project applications, manuscripts and similar materials must not be used without the express written consent of the information source.

When citing or making claims based on data, authors should provide the reference to data in the same way as they cite publications. We recommend the format proposed by the FORCE11 Data Citation Principles.

Plagiarism
Plagiarism, where someone assumes another’s ideas, words, or other creative expression as one’s own, is a clear violation of scientific ethics. Plagiarism may also involve a violation of copyright law, punishable by legal action.

Plagiarism includes the following:

  • Word for word, or almost word for word copying, or purposely paraphrasing portions of another author’s work without clearly indicating the source or marking the copied fragment (for example, using quotation marks);
  • Copying equations, figures or tables from someone else’s paper without properly citing the source and/or without permission from the original author or the copyright holder.

Please note that all submissions are thoroughly checked for plagiarism.

Any manuscript which shows obvious signs of plagiarism will be automatically rejected and authors will be permanently or temporary forbidden to publish in the journal Temida.

In case plagiarism is discovered in the manuscript that has already been published by the journal, it will be retracted in accordance with the procedure described below under Retraction policy, and authors will be permanently or temporary forbidden to publish in the journal.

Conflict of interest

Authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might have influenced the presented results or their interpretation.  If there is no conflict of interest to declare, the following standard statement should be added: ‘No conflict of interest was disclosed’.

Fundamental errors in published articles

When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published article, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify Editor-in-Chief or publisher of the journal and cooperate with them to retract or correct the paper.

By submitting a manuscript to the Editorial Board the authors agree to abide by the journal Temida’s Editorial Policies.

ORCID

The journal asks that all authors submitting a paper register an account with Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID). ORCID numbers for all authors and co-authors should be added to the author data upon submission and will be published alongside the submitted paper, should it be accepted.

ORCID registration provides a unique and persistent digital identifier for the account that enables accurate attribution and improves the discoverability of published papers, ensuring that the correct author receives the correct credit for their work.

Funding information

If a paper is a result of the funded project, authors are required to specify funding sources according to their contracts with the funder.

REVIEWER’S RESPONSIBILITIES

Reviewers are required to provide written, competent and unbiased feedback in a timely manner on the scholarly merits and the scientific value of the manuscript.

The reviewers assess manuscript for the compliance with the profile of the journal, the relevance of the investigated topic and applied methods, the originality and scientific relevance of information presented in the manuscript, the presentation style and scholarly apparatus.

Reviewer should alert the Editor-in-Chief to any well-founded suspicions or the knowledge of possible violations of ethical standards by the authors. Reviewer should recognize relevant published works that have not been cited by the authors. He/she should alert the Editor-in-Chief to substantial similarities between a reviewed manuscript and any manuscript published or under consideration for publication elsewhere, in the event they are aware of such. Reviewers should also alert the Editor-in-Chief to a parallel submission of the same paper to another journal, in the event they are aware of such.

Reviewer must not have conflict of interest with respect to the research, the authors and/or the funding sources for the research. If such conflicts exist, the reviewer must report them to the Editor-in-Chief without delay.

Reviewer who feels unqualified for the topic or scientific field of the manuscript should notify the Editor-in-Chief without delay.

Reviews must be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Reviewers must not use unpublished materials disclosed in submitted manuscripts without the express written consent of the authors. The information and ideas presented in submitted manuscripts shall be kept confidential and must not be used for personal gain.

PEER REVIEW

The submitted manuscripts are subject to a peer review process. The purpose of the peer review is to assist the Editor-in-Chief in making editorial decisions whether to accept or refuse the manuscript, and throughout the editorial communications with the authors it may also assist the author in improving the manuscript. Теmidа uses double blind (аnоnymous) review. Reviewers have 20 days to review the manuscript. Only in special occasions the time framework may be extended, and the author of the manuscript shall be informed. Reviewers are not paid for the review process.

Selection of reviewers is at the Editor-in-Chiefs’ discretion. Editor-in-Chief may entrust some editorial tasks (the selection of articles and reviewers) to the editor of a journals’ single (thematic) issue. The reviewers must be knowledgeable about the subject area of the manuscript; they must not be from the authors’ own institution and they should not have recent joint publications with any of the authors (as co-authors).

In the main review phase, the Editor-in-Chief, throughout the Secretary of the Editorial Board, sends submitted manuscripts to two experts in the field. The Review form contains a checklist in order to help reviewers to cover all aspects that can decide the fate of the manuscript. In the final section of the Review form, the reviewers must include observations and suggestions aimed at improving the submitted manuscript. All of the reviewers of a manuscript remain anonymous to the authors before, during and after the evaluation process. Authors are suggested that, during the process of manuscript writing, avoid any formulations that may uncover their identity. Editor-in-Chief guaranties that all authors’ personal information (name and affiliation) will be removed from the manuscript before sending to the reviewers, and that he/she will perform all reasonable measures that the identity of the author remains unknown to reviewers till the end of the review process.

All of the reviewers of a paper act independently and they are not aware of each other’s identities. If the decisions of the two reviewers are not the same (accept/reject), the Editor-in-Chief asks for the opinion of the third reviewer.

During the review process Editor-in-Chief may require authors to provide additional information (including raw data) if they are necessary for the evaluation of the scholarly merit of the manuscript. These materials shall be kept confidential and must not be used for personal gain.

The Editorial Board shall ensure reasonable quality control for the reviews. With respect to reviewers whose reviews are convincingly questioned by authors, special attention will be paid to ensure that the reviews are objective and high in academic standard. When there is any doubt with regard to the objectivity of the reviews or quality of the review, additional reviewers will be assigned.

Members of the Editorial team/board and guest editors are permitted to submit their own papers to the journal Temida. In cases where an author is associated with the journal, they will be removed from all editorial tasks for that paper and another member of the team will be assigned responsibility for overseeing peer review.

POST-PUBLICATION DISCUSSIONS

Temida encourages post-publication debate either through letters to the editor, or on an external moderated site, such as PubPeer.

USE OF LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS AND GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) TOOLS

Temida conforms to the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) recommendations on chat bots, ChatGPT and scholarly manuscripts and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)’s position statement on Authorship and AI tools.

AI bots such as ChatGPT cannot be listed as authors on your submission.

Authors must clearly indicate the use of tools based on large language models and generative AI for data or code generation, data collection, cleaning, analysis, or interpretation, (which tool was used and for what purpose), preferably in the methods or acknowledgements sections. Photography, videos or illustrations created wholly or partly using generative AI are not considered acceptable. The use of non-generative machine learning tools to manipulate, combine or enhance existing images or figures should be disclosed in the relevant caption upon submission to allow a case-by-case review. Concealing the use of AI tools is unethical. The use of AI-based tools for copyediting and spell checking does not need to be declared.

AI outputs should not be cited as primary sources for backing up specific claims.

Editors and Reviewers must ensure the confidentiality of the editorial work and the peer review process. Editors must not share information about submitted manuscripts or peer review reports with any tools based on large language models and generative AI. Reviewers must not use any tools based on large language models and generative AI to generate review reports. Concealing the use of AI tools is unethical and undermines transparency in editorial work and peer review. The editorial and review processes are confidential, and using AI tools on the manuscript makes it public, violating the confidentiality principle, disclosing confidential information in public, and compromising transparency.

PROCEDURES FOR DEALING WITH UNETHICAL BEHAVIOUR

Anyone (individual or institution) may inform the Editor-in-Chief and/or Editorial Board at any time of suspected unethical behaviour or any type of misconduct by giving necessary information/evidence to start an investigation.

Investigation

  • Editor-in-Chief will consult with the Editorial Board on decisions regarding the initiation of an investigation.
  • During investigation, any evidence should be treated as strictly confidential and only made available to those strictly involved in investigating.
  • The accused will always be given the chance to respond to any charges made against them.
  • If it is judged at the end of the investigation that misconduct has occurred, then it will be classified as either minor or serious violation of ethical standards.

Minor misconduct

Minor misconduct will be dealt directly with those involved without involving third parties:

  • Communicating to authors/reviewers that a minor issue involving misunderstanding or misapplication of academic standards has occurred and warning of an author or reviewer on unlawfulness of that kind of behaviour.

Major misconduct

The Editor-in-Chief, in consultation with the Editorial Board, and, when appropriate, further consultation with a small group of experts should make any decision regarding major misconduct.
In the case of major misconduct, one or more of the following measures will be applied:

  • Publication of a formal announcement describing the misconduct.
  • Informing the author’s (or reviewer’s) head of department or employer of any misconduct by means of a formal letter.
  • The formal, announced retraction of the published article in accordance with the Retraction Policy (see below).
  • A ban on submissions from the authors for a defined period.
  • Referring a case to a professional organization or legal authority for further investigation and action.

When dealing with unethical behaviour, the Editorial Board will rely on the guidelines and recommendations provided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE): https://publicationethics.org/resources/.

RETRACTION POLICY

The infringement of the legal limitations of the publisher, copyright holder or author(s), the violation of professional ethical codes and research misconduct, such as multiple submissions, duplicate or overlapping publication, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data and data fabrication, undisclosed use of tools based on large language models and generative AI, honest errors reported by the authors (for example, errors due to the mixing up of samples or use of a scientific tool or equipment that is found subsequently to be faulty), unethical research  or any major misconduct require retraction of an article. Occasionally a retraction can be used to correct errors in submission or publication.

For any retracted article, the reason for retraction and who is instigating the retraction will be clearly stated in the Retraction notice. Standards for dealing with retractions have been developed by a number of library and scholarly bodies, and this practice has been adopted for article retraction by Temida: in the electronic version of the retraction note, a link is made to the original article. In the electronic version of the original article, a link is made to the retraction note where it is clearly stated that the article has been retracted. The original article is retained unchanged, save for a watermark on the PDF indicating on each page that it is “retracted.”

RESEARCH DATA, CODE, PROTOCOL SHARING, AND PREREGISTRATION

Research data sharing

Temida encourages/requests authors to share research data that are required for confirming the results published in the manuscript and/or enhance the published manuscript under the principle ‘as open as possible, as closed as necessary’. We encourage authors to share supporting software applications, high-resolution images, background datasets, sound or video clips, large appendices, data tables and other relevant items that cannot be included in the article.

The preferred mechanism for sharing research data is via data repositories. Authors may deposit relevant data in a FAIR-compliant repository – institutional, disciplinary, or general-purpose (e.g. Zenodo). For more information on finding a FAIR compliant repository, check these links: https://repositoryfinder.datacite.org/ and https://www.re3data.org/. Authors should also provide via the repository any information needed to replicate, validate, and/or reuse the results / their study and analysis of the research data. This includes details of any software, instruments and other tools used to process the results. Where possible, the tools and instruments themselves should also be provided. A DOI will be assigned to each research data file, enabling the research data to be cited the same way as publications. Authors affirm that data protection regulations, ethical standards, third party copyright and other rights have been respected in the process of collecting, processing and sharing data.

Exceptions: We recognize that open sharing of data may not always be feasible. Exceptions to open access to research data underlying publications include the following: obligation to protect results, confidentiality obligations, security obligations, the obligation to protect personal data and other legitimate constraints. Where open access is not provided to the data needed to validate the conclusions of a publication that reports original results, authors should make metadata available explaining the research and access rules to the data.

Ethical and security considerations

If data access is restricted for ethical or security reasons, the manuscript must include:

  • a description of the restrictions on the data;
  • what, if anything, the relevant Institutional Review Board (IRB) or equivalent said about the data sharing; and
  • all necessary information required for a reader or reviewer to apply for access to the data and the conditions under which access will be granted.

Data protection issues

Where human data cannot be effectively de-identified, data must not be shared in order to protect participant privacy unless the individuals have given explicit written consent that their identifiable data can be made publicly available.

In instances where the data cannot be made available, the manuscript must include:

  • an explanation of the data protection concern;
  • any intermediary data that can be de-identified without compromising anonymity;
  • what, if anything, the relevant Institutional Review Board (IRB) or equivalent said about data sharing; and
  • where applicable, all necessary information required for a reader or peer reviewer to apply for access to the data and the conditions under which access will be granted.

Link to research data from a Data Availability Statement within the submitted paper, which will be made public upon publication. A ‘Data Availability Statement’ should be added to the submission, prior to the reference list, providing the details of the data availability, including the DOI linking to it. If the data is restricted in any way and/or is not being made available within the journal publication, a statement from the author should be provided to explain why.

Consider the following when depositing data related to a publication:

  • Check whether a repository where the data is deposited has a sustainability model.
  • The data must be deposited under an open license that permits unrestricted access (e.g., CC0, CC-BY). More restrictive licenses should only be used if there is a valid reason (e.g., legal).
  • The deposited data must include a version that is in an open, non-proprietary format.
  • The deposited data must have been labeled in such a way that a third party can make sense of it (e.g., sensible column headers, descriptions in a readme text file).
  • Research involving human subjects, human material, or human data, must have been performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Where applicable, the studies must have been approved by an appropriate Ethics Committee. The identity of the research subject should be anonymized whenever possible. For research involving human subjects, informed consent to participate in the study must be obtained from participants (or their legal guardian).

Code sharing

Authors are encouraged to share any code used in their work, especially author-generated code. If commercial software was used, its name and version should be provided. This information can be included in the Methods section.

When feasible, code should be deposited in a public repository with a persistent identifier and version control. Open-source licensing is recommended. Deposited code should include:

  • Installation and usage instructions
  • Operating system details
  • Programming language and data format information
  • Software dependencies (version, toolboxes, modules)
  • Documentation for reproducibility, including purpose explanations
  • Actual or sample data with log files or equivalent documentation

For studies using custom code or mathematical algorithms essential to the conclusions, a Code Availability Statement must be included. This statement should specify code description, access details, repository identifier, and any access restrictions. It should be provided as a separate section following the Data Availability Statement.

Experimental protocols sharing

Authors are encouraged to share step-by-step research protocols to facilitate replication and further research. These can be uploaded to a protocol-sharing platform of choice or a repository. If such protocols are available, please provide a DOI or other citation details with submission.

Preregistration

The journal Temida supports study pre-registration (including clinical trials) and pre-registration of analysis plans in public repositories. Authors should indicate at submission whether any part of their study was preregistered. If so, they must include an active link to the preregistration in the Methods section and specify the preregistration date. Any deviations from the preregistered protocol should be disclosed, along with the reasons for those changes.
