Nuclear Technology & Radiation Protectionpublishes articles classified as original scientific papers, review papers and technical papers. The Editorial Board will classify the submitted manuscripts according to the following recommendations of UNESCO.

Scientific paper includes original results of research and the scientific information should be presented in the paper in such a way to enable repeating the experiments and verifying the analyses and results on which conclusions are based.
Review paper is an overall presentation of a field of interest or problem on already published results, which are collected, analyzed and discussed.
Technical paper is not connected to original research, it is related to verification and reproduction of the investigations known in the world and represents material useful for spreading knowledge and adapting the original results to the needs of science and its applications.

Manuscript will be considered only on the understanding that it is not currently being submitted to other journals and that all listed authors approved the paper. All the submitted manuscripts are liable to review of eminent specialists in respective fields.

When preparing a manuscript authors should obey the following recommendations:

1. Submitted paper should be written in English only, with the title and abstract translated to Serbian (for foreign contributors translation to Serbian will be provided by the Editorial Board).

2. The paper should not exceed 30 000 characters without figures. The manuscripts should be submitted on 3,5" diskettes in the word processor applied by the author with its indication (Ventura , Word, etc., for Windows). Two hard copies should be attached. A separate sheet should include authors data: name, family name, title, full postal address, e-mail address and phone number. In case of more than one author the address for contact should be marked.

3. Title of the paper should denote the brief contents and it should be easy to identify in bibliography. Full name and family name of the author should be written with the name in bold letters. A short abstract of not more than 200 words should follow the title. The key words should be cited after the abstract. If a thesaurus for the treated field exists descriptors would be more appropriate than the key words. The text of the manuscript should follow a logical and clear plan.

Reasons for presenting the paper and relation to similar previous papers should be presented in the introduction. Methods and procedures proposed in scientific papers should be described in such a way to enable the reader to repeat them. Results and discussion, as well as conclusions and recommendations should be presented separately. A review of applied denotations might be given at the end before citing the references. Footnotes should be omitted.

4. Manuscripts should be correct in style and language without typing errors. Formulae and mathematical symbols must be legible. Formulae should be numbered in ordinary brackets and given only to such extent to enable comprehension.

In black ink or laser printer, not wider than 150 mm to be printed in one column or 320 mm if printed on the whole page width.
Letters in the figures should be 3 mm high because of zooming the figures to 50%, line thickness should not be less than 0.2 mm. Photographs should be avoided but if indispensable they should be of high quality. All the figures should be numbered. They should be referred to in text with respective numbers.

6. International SI system must be applied for all physical data and put within square brackets. Data in tables should be full titles and precisely indicated measures. All the tables should be numbered.
