Authors: Interested in submitting to this journal? We recommend reviewing the About the Journal page for information on section policies and the Author Guidelines. Authors should follow the five-step submission process.
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 is in the journal official template (available from the link below). The submission file is in Microsoft Word.
- Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
- The text is single-spaced; uses a 11-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.
1. After the manuscript is submitted, the author receives an email confirming that the editors have received it.
2. In the initial stage, the journal editors review the manuscript to ensure it meets formal requirements, including adherence to the Author Guidelines, alignment with the journal’s focus, inclusion of essential attributes of a scientific paper, and a clearly stated scientific contribution. If the manuscript falls short in any of these areas, it is returned to the authors for revision.
3. If the paper meets the essential requirements, the Editor-in-Chief, in collaboration with the other editors, will assign at least two reviewers with expertise in the subject area. These reviewers will then prepare their evaluations using the standardized review form (English version).
4. After receiving the reviews, the Editor-in-Chief decides on the paper’s acceptance based on the reviewers‘ recommendations. If even one review is negative, the paper will not be accepted. If all reviews are positive, the corresponding editor will request the authors to address the reviewers‘ comments and revise the paper if needed. Additional modifications beyond those suggested by the reviewers may also be requested.
5. The paper will only be accepted once all the editor’s requirements have been satisfied. The author will be notified of the acceptance via email.
Author Guidelines
- Manuscripts should not exceed 8000 words in length (1.0-spaced, TNR 11). The length of the manuscript will be considered by the editorial board.
- An abstract of 200-300 words (1.0-spaced, TNR 9), as well as 5 to 7 keywords shall be included under the title of the article and the name of the author. We ask authors to state concisely in the abstract the following points: What is the main issue they deal with, what is the main scientific aim/s, how they approach it, what are their findings and how these findings develop the state of knowledge in the given discipline. Always refer to the country(ies) of your research.
- Please note that we accept only manuscripts that we received in the journal official template. The template contains detailed instructions for the formal and content layout of the manuscript:
Manuscripts should be sent electronically to the editorial office at polscidialogues@polscidialogues.com. For the purposes of the review process, the manuscript should be sent as a single MS Word document with graphical attachments at a reduced resolution so that the document does not exceed 25 Mb in size, but at the same time so that the graphical attachments are legible. In the case of a successful review, individual graphical appendices with the required resolution should be sent as separate files with the final version of the manuscript before it is accepted for publication. If the size of the individual figures exceeds 25 Mb and cannot be sent even in separate e-mails, it is necessary to agree with the editors (by e-mail to polscidialogues@polscidialogues.com) on a suitable method of delivery of the individual files.
There are no publication fees or charges for submitted or accepted articles, and no article processing charges (APCs) will be billed to authors.
The names and email addresses provided on this journal’s site will be used solely for the journal’s stated purposes and will not be shared with any other parties or used for any other purposes.
