Aims & Scope

ST-OPEN is an international, peer-reviewed journal focusing on promoting research by early-career researchers from different research disciplines. The journal grew from a university overlay journal to a fully international journal promoting high-quality research, and aims to transcend the traditional boundaries between research fields by bringing together experienced and novice researchers to an educational publishing platform. ST-OPEN publishes original articles, editorials and other publication items. Editorials are commissioned but we will consider external suggestions. ST-OPEN welcomes contributions from the global scientific community. To achieve its educational role, ST-OPEN continues its function as an overlay journal for the University of Split academic repository, DABAR . ST-OPEN Editors and its Student Editorial Board actively work on selecting high-quality graduation and doctoral theses and then work directly with students and their supervisors in all phases of scientific writing, including translation services for articles originally written in Croatian.
