The journal Noema publishes original, previously unpublished papers in the social sciences and humanities or related fields (interdisciplinary papers).

Each paper is subject to a review process. Peer-reviewed articles are accepted for publication based on at least two positive reviews. The review procedure is carried out according to the principle of "double blind" review, ie. the identity of the author is unknown to the reviewer, and the identity of the reviewer is unknown to the author. Also, the identity of the reviewer remains unknown to the public.

Reviewed papers are classified into the following categories:

The original scientific article is in principle organized according to the IMRAD scheme for experimental research or in a descriptive way for descriptive scientific fields, in which the text is published for the first time about the results of own research achieved by applying scientific methods, which are textually described.

A review scientific article is a review of the latest work on a particular subject area in order to summarize, analyze, evaluate or synthesize already published information, and bring new syntheses that also necessarily include the results of the author's own research.

Preliminary announcement is a paper, but of a smaller scope or preliminary character, in which some elements of IMRAD can be omitted, and it is a summary of the results of the completed original research work or an emerging article (Working Paper).

Review is a discussion on a certain scientific topic, based exclusively on scientific argumentation, in which the author proves the correctness of a certain criterion of his opinion, ie confirms or refutes the findings of other authors.

OTHER SUBMISSIONS

In addition to categorized papers, the journal also publishes uncategorized papers, ie reviews of relevant scientific works in the field covered by the journal published in the country and abroad in the previous two years, short literary articles, polemics, translations, interviews, reports and others types of submissions as needed.
