As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
Author Guidelines
Papers are accepted in editable formats (e.g. .doc, .odt).
All graphs, illustrations and tables should be included in separate graphic files (the TIFF format is recommended). Texts should contain an abstract, keywords (from 5 to 8) and notes on the authors in both Polish and English. Papers in Polish or English will be accepted. The author’s forename and surname, self-citations and any other information revealing the identity of the author should be removed from a text submitted for publication.
By submitting a paper, the authors declare that it is the production of their own work which has not yet been published or submitted for publication. Cases of unethical behaviour (plagiarism, ghost-writing, guest authorship) will be taken very seriously: they will be disclosed and relevant institutions with which the author is associated will be notified. All submitted texts whose subject matter falls within the journal's area of interest are subject to two double blind external reviews. The author is obliged to make corrections on the submitted printout and return it within the deadline specified by the editors.
Note on formatting: all margins – 2.5 cm, line spacing – 1.5, first line indentation 1.25 (do not use tabs), no spacing between paragraphs of the same style, font – Times New Roman, size 12.
The paper is expected to have no fewer than 20,000 characters.
