No registration or subscription is required to access the content. Copyright holders grant usage rights to others using an open licence, allowing immediate free access to the work and permitting any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose.
Licensing
All works published in Dispozitiv are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0). Users are free to share, copy, redistribute, adapt, and build upon the material in any medium or format, including for commercial purposes, provided appropriate credit is given to the original author and source.
Copyright
Copyright of published works is retained by the authors. Authors grant Dispozitiv the right to publish the work and to be identified as the original publisher. Third parties may freely use published works provided the original author, publisher, and a link to the original publication are clearly credited, in accordance with the CC BY 4.0 licence.
Dispozitiv employs a double-blind peer review process for all scholarly and professional papers. The identities of authors are not disclosed to reviewers, nor are the identities of reviewers disclosed to authors.
Procedure:
- Manuscript receipt: The editorial office checks formal compliance with author guidelines and the thematic scope of the journal.
- Reviewer assignment: Each manuscript is sent to at least two independent reviewers who are experts in the relevant field.
- Review: Reviewers evaluate originality, methodology, relevance, clarity of presentation, and contribution to the field. Feedback is provided within 6–8 weeks.
- Decision: Based on the reviews, the editorial board issues one of the following decisions: acceptance without changes, acceptance with minor revisions, acceptance with major revisions, or rejection.
- Revision: Authors are required to address reviewer comments and submit a revised manuscript within the given deadline.
For works in the arts and humanities, the journal also accepts editorial review for certain categories such as essays, reviews, and art criticism.
Publication Fee Statement
Dispozitiv does not charge authors any fees for the processing, review, or publication of articles (Article Processing Charges – APC). Publishing in Dispozitiv is entirely free of charge for authors. The journal does not levy submission fees, language editing fees, illustration processing fees, or any other supplementary charges.
Retraction Policy
Dispozitiv adheres to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines for retraction of published articles. Retraction may be initiated in the following cases:
- Proven plagiarism or significant overlap with a previously published work
- Falsification or fabrication of data or results
- Serious methodological errors that fundamentally undermine the conclusions of the work
- Violation of research ethics standards
- Publication without valid consent of all authors or without necessary permissions
Procedure:
Retraction requests may be submitted by authors, the editorial board, or third parties. The editorial board investigates each request in accordance with COPE guidelines. If a retraction is warranted, a retraction notice is published on the journal website clearly stating the reasons. The original article remains available online but is clearly marked as "RETRACTED" with a link to the retraction notice. Retraction does not mean deletion – the article remains accessible for the sake of transparency in the academic record.
Politika sukoba interesa
Svi sudionici u procesu objavljivanja – autori, recenzenti i urednici – dužni su izjaviti svaki mogući sukob interesa koji bi mogao utjecati na objektivnost rada, recenzije ili uredničke odluke.
Autori:
Autori su dužni u rukopisu navesti sve izvore financiranja istraživanja te izjaviti eventualne sukobe interesa. Ako sukob interesa ne postoji, autori to izričito navode u radu.
Recenzenti:
Recenzenti koji imaju sukob interesa u vezi s rukopisom (osobni, profesionalni, financijski ili institucionalni odnos s autorom/autorima) dužni su o tome obavijestiti uredništvo i povući se iz postupka recenzije.
Urednici:
Urednici se izuzimaju iz donošenja odluka o radovima u kojima imaju sukob interesa. U takvim slučajevima, odgovornost za uredničku odluku preuzima drugi član uredništva.
