Peer-Review Process

1. Studia Humanistyczne. Contributions to Humanities use a double-blind peer review process before publishing newly submitted manuscripts. This means that Authors and Reviewers do not know each other's identities. To facilitate this, authors must ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in such a way as not to give away their identity. Submission should include the article file and title page as two separate files. Identifying authors (names, affiliations, sources of funding, acknowledgments and authors contributions) should be included only in the title page file. In the text of the article, the third person should be used when referring to work that the authors have undertaken previously, and ensure that figures do not include the authors' identifier and affiliation. The file with the article text should have the properties removed.

2. All submitted papers are initially evaluated by the Editorial Board for compatibility with the journal's profile and, in the case of papers based on empirical material and containing statistical analyses, evaluated by the Statistical Editor.

3. Papers deemed suitable are then sent to at least a minimum of two independent reviewers to assess their scientific quality. Reviewers are recruited from entities outside the Author’s home institution.

4. Reviews are done using a form review and conclude with an unambiguous recommendation as to whether the article should be published or rejected. The form is automatically available after acceptance of the invitation for review process.

5. Articles with all positive reviews undergo a language correction (in English carried out by a native speaker).

6. The Editorial Board is responsible for the final decision regarding the acceptance or rejection of articles. The decision of the Editorial Board is final.

7. The whole review process takes a maximum of 2 months, including a revision and a check of the revised article.

8. The final date of publication is dependent on the number of manuscripts that are already waiting for publishing.
