Submission Guidelines

The Editorial Board accepts only original texts, not yet published. If the text or a significant part of it has been previously published in a foreign language or in another form, the Editorial Board should be informed.

If an article has more than one author, the contribution of each author should be specified. If the text is published in a journal, this information will also be published.

At the same time, we ask authors submitting texts to observe the following Guidelines.

Author and title

1. Next to the author’s name, the institutional affiliation and e-mail address for correspondence should be given. The author should also include the ORCID iD and a short biographical note (up to 500 characters, including spaces).
2. Under the title of the publication, keywords should be placed, both in Polish and English (up to 6 words or phrases)
3. In the case of a review, a full bibliographic description of the reviewed publication should be provided, including information on the publisher, the number of pages (both numbered and unnumbered), and the number of illustrations.

Text, abstract and summarys

1. In texts, use commonly accepted abbreviations: e.g. (for example), c. (century), c. (circa), etc. Names of months should be given in full (XVI century, 15 July 1410). Names should also be given in their full form. Forms such as J. Rutkowski, H. Łowmiański are unacceptable in the main text; Jan Rutkowski, Henryk Łowmiański should be given instead.
2. The submitted texts should not exceed the 40,000 characters, including spaces for articles, and 10,000 for other (reviews, reports). Larger texts could be submitted by a prior arrangement with the Editorial Board.
3. The text should be accompanied by a summary (up to 1500 characters, including spaces) and an abstract (up to 500 characters, including spaces). The Editorial Board will provide an English/Polish translation.

Illustrations and maps

• The location of a map or photograph should be indicated within the text by giving the number and title of the illustration or map highlighted in yellow or red.
• The name of the graphic file should correspond to the title of the illustration or map within the text.
• Illustrations and maps should be adapted as far as possible to the Journal page size, 12 x 24 cm.
• All material should be adapted to black and white print publication.

References

At the end of each scientific article, a full bibliography should be provided, listing all references cited in the article. We ask the authors to include a full bibliography at the end of their text, in the file being send to the Editorial Board.

For bibliographic items in an alphabet other than Latin, its full transliteration in the current ISO 9 standard, e.g. for Cyrillic according to the PN-ISO 9:2000 standard, should be included in the bibliography after the // sign.
