>> About the journal



Serbian Astronomical Journal is the successor of the Bulletin Astronomique de Belgrade (1992–1998) founded by merging of the Bulletin de l'Observatoire Astronomique de Belgrade (1936–1991) and Publications of the Department of Astronomy (1969–1990). Under the present title it has been published since 1998.

Serbian Astronomical Journal publishes original observations and researches in all branches of astronomy. The journal publishes:

  • Invited Reviews - review article on some up-to-date topic in astronomy, astrophysics and related fields (written upon invitation only),
  • Original Scientific Papers - article in which are presented previously unpublished author's own scientific results,
  • Preliminary Reports - original scientific paper, but shorter in length and of preliminary nature,
  • Professional Papers - articles offering experience useful for the improvement of professional practice i.e. article describing methods and techniques, software, presenting observational data, etc.
In some cases the journal may publish other contributions, such as In Memoriam notes, Obituaries, Book Reviews, as well as Editorials, Addenda, Errata, Corrigenda, Retraction notes, etc.
Serbian Astronomical Journal is published biannually, in June and December. Submissions are accepted on a continuous basis throughout the year. Contributions to the journal are published in English, with summaries in Serbian. For more details see editorial policy.
