Editorial requirements

Editorial Requirements

To qualify an article for publication, the following editorial requirements must be met:

 

  1. The volume of submitted articles should be between 20 and 40 thousand characters (font: TNR 12, spacing: 1.5, text justified on both sides, margins: 2.5 cm, paragraph indentation 1 cm)
  2. Use italics in the text only (do not use underlining or bold);
  3. Quotes in italics, quotes longer than 3 lines are separated from the new paragraph.
  4. Clear tables and figures, black and white, separated by one-line spacing from the text, captioned in TNR 10 and centered (tables captioned from the top and graphs from the bottom: Table 1. and Graph 1. Contents of graphs and tables in TNR 10. Source given below table / graph in TNR 10);
  5. Page numbering in lower right corner (number alone).
  6. Footnotes in the main text (Harvard Referencing System) in square brackets according to the guidelines:
  7. a) In the main text, the system of citing sources in square brackets directly in the text and containing the name of the author, the year of publication, and possibly the page of the publication cited applies: [author name, year, p. ...].
  8. b) This system requires that each time another author's publication is referenced, the name of that author and the year of publication of his or her work must be given in the main text, and the manner in which these data are given depends on the context of the sentence, e.g:
  • Jacek Pasieczny [2002] relates discourse to the concept of social interaction.
  • This is reflected in the placement of written text research within the framework of discourse analysis [Pasieczny, 2002].
  1. c) When citing a specific section of a quoted document, include the number of the relevant page of the source material in addition to the name and year, e.g:
  • [Pasieczny, 2002, p.20].
  1. d) If a publication has two authors, then both names are given, joining them with a conjunction and, e.g:
  • [Michalski i Pajewska, 2001].
  1. e) The same can be done for three authors, e.g.:
  • [Malinowski, Nowak i Kowalski, 2001].

If there are more than three authors, only the first author is given with the addition of the abbreviation et al. (= and others) e.g.:

  • [Malinowski et al., 2004].
  1. f) When citing multiple publications by an author published in the same year, add (without spaces) consecutive lowercase letters after the date, e.g:
  • [Nowak, 2000a, 2000b, 2000c].

These designations are then repeated in the bibliography following the main text.

  1. g) When citing a collective work, the name of the scientific editor of the publication and the abbreviation ed. in parentheses should be given in the main text, e.g:
  • [Grzywacz i Kowalski (ed.), 2015].

The bibliography then ranks such an item by the name of the editor.

  1. h) It is also accepted that several publications cited together (in the same bracket) are ordered chronologically rather than alphabetically, e.g:
  • [Nowak, 1984; Malinowski, 1986; Kowalski, 2000].

An exception is when it is necessary to cite works by several authors from different years. To avoid having to repeat the same name in brackets with consecutive dates, one orders the works chronologically within each author, e.g:

  • [Nowak, 1997, 2000, 2001; Malinowski, 1993, 1998, 2000].
  1. i) Web references are created from the bibliography, where we order them alphabetically, giving them consecutive abbreviations with a number:

[www 1]

[www 2]

[www 3]

  1. j) When referring to legislation, include the beginning of its name:

[Accounting Act]

[Criminal Code]

[Banking Law]

[Health Care Benefits Act]

  1. k) When referring to documents without a specific author, include the beginning of its name:

[Resolution of the National Commission of NSZZ Solidarność on].
