The Elektrotehniški vestnik strives to publish well-written papers in all areas of electrical engineering and computer science that present important research results, successful applications or development, and well-focused surveys which put recent progress into a broader perspective.
Elektrotehniški vestnik supports open access to research data, which form the foundation of modern scientific research. The journal’s co-funder, ARIS, requires the editorial board to ensure that authors provide open access to the research data used in the preparation of an article prior to its publication. The data must be prepared in accordance with the FAIR principles (findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability).
When data cannot be shared fully openly due to legal, ethical, or other justified reasons, authors must provide an explanation, for example in cases involving the protection of personal data, when dealing with material that includes trade secrets or other commercially sensitive information regulated by law, or when the data pose security risks.
Authors must publish research data in trusted data repositories, archives, or centers that provide appropriate access regimes and have an identifier (e.g., a DOI). The editorial board of journal recommend to deposit the research data in Zenodo under the Creative Commons licenses CC BY 4.0 or CC0 1.0.
Authors must properly cite all data sources used, in accordance with the repository’s guidelines and the journal’s citation style.
Research data must be available to editors and reviewers at the time of manuscript submission for peer review, and to everyone no later than upon publication of the article. An embargo on access to data is permitted only exceptionally, subject to reasonable provisions regarding the permissible embargo period and with appropriate additional justification.
The journal does not accept articles in which generative artificial intelligence (AI) is listed as a co-author or as a data source. Acceptable uses of AI include proofreading, feedback on structure and style, and translation. With appropriate disclosure, AI may also be used for data analysis, data visualization, and programming. In such cases, include in the methodological section of the paper an explanation of how AI was used, including the type of model employed, the prompts used, the date, and a link to the dataset.
