1. StBiSl publishes only those contributions whose entirety or parts have not been previously published in any printed or electronic medium (including language variants) and are not simultaneously under review elsewhere. The author confirms this by the very act of submitting the contribution to the editorial board of StBiSl. 2. Contributions published in StBiSl must meet scholarly criteria. They should engage with issues in academic discourse, present new findings related to the topic, and above all offer innovative solutions. Preference is given to contributions addressing issues in biblical exegesis, biblical theology, biblical philology, biblical archaeology, and biblical history. Interdisciplinary biblical studies are also acceptable, such as biblical studies and patristics, biblical studies and liturgy, biblical studies and moral theology, etc. 3. StBiSl accepts and publishes only original contributions that are the result of the author’s independent scholarly work, based on the author’s own research of primary sources and scholarly literature. The author must refer to the used and cited scholarly literature in the text, applying the rules of the StBiSl Bibliographic and Citation Style (hereafter BCŠ). 4. Every manuscript accepted by the Editor-in-Chief—whether a study or a short scholarly note—undergoes a double-blind review by two, in exceptional cases three, independent reviewers. Reviewers are appointed by the Editor-in-Chief, primarily from the Editorial Board. The Editor-in-Chief communicates the results of the reviews to the author. The review process also includes an assessment of originality. See B.2. Publication Ethics of the Journal. 5. Peer-review process and reviewers’ reports. StBiSl conducts an anonymous peer-review process for submitted contributions. In the reviewer’s report, the reviewer recommends or does not recommend the contribution for publication. If the contribution is not recommended, the reviewer must state specific and objective reasons for the negative assessment. The reviewer may recommend that the contribution be revised and resubmitted. The reviewer’s identity remains strictly anonymous to the author. 6. Authorship. All persons who have made a substantial contribution to the creation of the contribution are considered authors. Primary authorship, order of authors, or other attribution upon publication depends on the extent of each individual’s scholarly and professional involvement, regardless of status. 7. Acknowledgements. All individuals who contributed to the work but do not meet the criteria for authorship are acknowledged in a dedicated acknowledgements section. Examples include persons providing purely technical assistance or an academic authority who offered general support enabling the work. Any personal acknowledgements should be listed separately, outside the main text of the contribution. 8. Declaration of no conflict of interest. StBiSl requires authors, upon submission of the manuscript, to inform the editorial office that there is no conflict of interest that could negatively influence the research results.
