Literatura se numerira arapskim brojkama u zagradama na kraju rečenice, te se navodi prema redoslijedu pojavljivanja u tekstu.

Autori su odgovorni za točnost navođenja literature. Naslovi časopisa trebaju biti skraćeni prema stilu koji se koristi u popisu časopisa indeksiranim za MEDLINE, dostupno na:http://www.nlm.nih.gov/tsd/serials/lji.html.

Primjeri navođenja literature:

Časopisi: Navesti imena svih autora osim ako ih je sedam i više. U tom slučaju navodi se prvih šest nakon čega se doda i sur.

Aims and Scope

Health Bulletin / Zdravstveni glasnik (ISSN 2303-8616) is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed electronic journal published by the Faculty of Health Studies, University of Mostar. It publishes original empirical research articles, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, short communications and brief reports, case reports, educational / professional practice reports, and invited contributions to special issues on current global or regional health topics. Its mission is to advance global knowledge in health sciences by providing a platform for high-quality, methodologically rigorous research, reviews, and evidence-based professional reports. The journal aims to support both established researchers and early-career authors (including students) in disseminating original work, thereby contributing to health promotion, education, policy, and interdisciplinary scholarship globally.

Release Schedule

The journal publishes two issues per year (in May and in November). Manuscripts must be submitted in English; abstracts are provided in both English and Croatian language. All accepted articles are immediately available online under a Creative Commons (CC BY 4.0) license, ensuring free and unrestricted access for the global research community.

Subject Areas

Health Bulletin / Zdravstveni glasnik welcomes submissions across a broad but well-defined range of health-related disciplines and interdisciplinary areas. We particularly encourage manuscripts that address global or regional health challenges, comparative studies, or cross-disciplinary topics bridging health sciences with social, behavioral, psychological or educational sciences. Priority thematic areas include, but are not limited to:

- Public health, epidemiology, global health, health promotion, disease prevention, health disparities

- Clinical and biomedical research (diagnosis, treatment, translational medicine)

- Health systems, health policy, health management, health services research, health economics

- Nursing, allied health professions, rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and healthcare education

- Bioethics, medical ethics, public health ethics, and integrative bioethics

- Interdisciplinary research at the interface of health sciences with social sciences / behavioral sciences / psychology / humanistic studies (e.g. social determinants of health, health behavior, community health, health education)

- Preventive medicine, public health interventions, health promotion, disease prevention and control

- Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, evidence syntheses, implementation research, and health services research

- Cross-regional and international comparative health studies

Criteria

The journal Zdravstveni glasnik / Health Bulletin has specific criteria for accepting papers for publication. The papers must be original and must have significance and contribution to the profession. The journal only accepts papers that meet these criteria, ensuring that the published content is of high quality and relevant to the field. The journal does not charge authors any fees for the publication of their work (no APC), and does not receive any compensation for the publication of papers. This ensures that the research is freely accessible to the scientific community and general public and that the authors retain the rights to their work.

Funding

The journal is running on voluntary efforts and with zero income/funding from any source.

Electronic Storage and Preservation of Journal Content

The content of Health Bulletin is made available on the central portal of Croatian scientific journals, known as HRČAK, which provides access to Croatian journals that follow the Open Access Initiative. This allows for the journal to reach a wider audience and increase visibility among the scientific community. Additionally, the journal is also uploaded to the SUMPAUK data repository, which stores journals from all faculties of the University of Mostar, making it easily accessible to researchers and students at the university. This allows for greater access to the journal and the research it contains, and facilitates the exchange of knowledge and ideas.

Peer Review / Quality Assurance

All submissions undergo an initial editorial triage / desk review to check scope, format compliance, and ethical declarations. Manuscripts passing the triage are sent for double-blind peer review process (2 or more independent reviewers), to ensure impartial evaluation. Reviewers submit structured reports with recommendations (Accept, Minor Revisions, Major Revisions, Reject). The responsible Associate Editor synthesizes reviewers’ feedback and provides a recommendation to the Editor-in-Chief. The Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision, which may be: Accept, Accept with Revisions, or Reject. Authors receive anonymized reviewer feedback and may be asked to revise their manuscript. Revised manuscripts may undergo further review if necessary.

If a manuscript is authored or co-authored by any editorial team member (Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editor, Guest Editor, or Editorial Board member), it is handled by other editors to avoid bias. The involved editor must declare the conflict.

We follow the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), Publishing Ethics Resource Kit (PERK) and other relevant best-practice frameworks. All manuscripts are screened for originality and similarity. Plagiarism checks are performed using authenticated tools (iThenticate/Turnitin).

While the Journal is published by the Faculty of Health Studies at the University of Mostar, we welcome and strongly encourage submissions from scholars, clinicians, and researchers worldwide. Our aim is to foster international collaboration and publish work that contributes to the global health sciences community.
