GENERAL PUBLISHING POLICY
The journal is published by Faculty of physical education and sport, Tuzla University, twice a year (June and December). All received articles will be evaluated by the journal editors, using several criteria: the adequacy of the theme and content for the journal; the preparation and format of manuscript; and general satisfaction. If the criteria are satisfied, the article will be sent on a blind (without information about authors) review evaluation to at least two recognized, independent and anonymous reviewers. If an article is not prepared in a recommended way the article will be sent back to author without scientific estimation. The review process usually takes up to 4 weeks. After the revision procedure, all authors will be informed by e-mail about sent article (acceptance, revision or rejection of the manuscript). Only the manuscript that receives positive reviews will be accepted. If there are one negative and one positive review, the article will be sent to third reviewer. The reviewers will determine if articles belong to some of following categories: Original scientific article, Preliminary communication, Review article, or Professional paper.
Authors are responsible for the scientific and professional context and legal aspects of the articles. All authors will be ask to sign the statement in order to guarantee that the article has not been published previously, or it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, either in part or in whole, and if the article is accepted it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language.
