Submissions to the Studies section are peer-reviewed anonymously by two independent reviewers, and the final decision on publication of all submissions rests with the editors. The approximate review time is one month.

The handling of articles is governed by the Journal Ethical Standards for all parties involved.

The journal does not charge any fees for publishing an article (no Article Processing Charges, APCs).

The authors of the texts accepted for publication agree to make these texts available for publication in print and on the website of the Journal Duševné vlastníctvo (Intellectual Property), and sign the Licence Agreement. The Journal reserves the right to edit accepted manuscripts.

Articles are subject to linguistic editing. However, poor grammar and lack of necessary editing may be grounds for rejecting a manuscript, even if the content is in line with the journal's focus.

  5. References (citations, paraphrases) to the literature should be given in a footnote. Include a reference list at the end of the article. Comments in the text should also be footnoted.
