Identity – Cultures – Languages, yearbook of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Mostar, is a scientific publication issued by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Mostar, in collaboration with the Institute of Social Sciences Ivo Pilar – Regional Center Osijek. The yearbook publishes papers from the annual international scientific conference of the same name, held at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Mostar.

When formatting their papers, authors are specifically instructed to remove any information that could reveal their identity, whether it be information within the text or the file name.

All submitted papers undergo two double-blind peer-reviews, meaning that the identity of the reviewers is not revealed to the author, nor is the identity of the author revealed to the reviewers. After the completion of the peer-review process, papers are categorized as:

  • Original Scientific Paper – Presents original and unpublished results of conducted scientific research.
  • Preliminary Communication – Presents new and unpublished results of ongoing research, which, due to their importance, need to be published.
  • Review Paper – Provides a concise, original, and critical overview of a specific issue, with the author's original contribution visible in the work.
  • Professional Paper – Provides useful knowledge and experiences relevant to a specific profession but does not have the characteristics of scientific research.

If the reviewers' evaluations differ, a third review may be requested. The final decision on the categorization of the paper is made by the editor and the Editorial Board of the yearbook.

There is no reimbursement for published papers, and authors receive one complimentary copy of the printed version of the Identity – Cultures – Languages yearbook. Along with their papers, authors should also provide the following information: full name, academic title, name and address of the employing institution, and email address.

Authors do not pay any fees for publishing their papers in the yearbook Identity – Cultures – Languages.

Readers do not pay any fees in order to access the yearbook.

The yearbook Identity – Cultures – Languages is archived in the National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
