THE PROCEDURE FOR REVIEWING SCHOLARLY ARTICLES
IN THE JOURNAL
‘ARCHIWA BIBLIOTEKI I MUZEA KOŚCIELNE’
- 1. The procedure for reviewing articles is consistent with the review principles included in the Announcement of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of 29 May 2013 and 2 June 2015 on the criteria and procedure for evaluation of scholarly journals.
- Submitting a paper for publication in the journal, authors agree to the review process.
- Submitted publications are evaluated first by the editors.
- Then the publications are reviewed by two reliable reviewers with at least a doctoral degree.
- The submitted papers will not be sent to the reviewers from the same institution the author comes and to those who may be in conflict of interest with the author.
- The papers undergo a double-blind review process.
- An editorial number is assigned to the paper so that the work can be identified at further stages of the publishing process.
- The reviewers are not allowed to use any information about the paper before its publication.
- The reviewer sends the review in an electronic form to the email address of the editorial office and in paper with a handwritten signature. The email address is provided in the review form. The review is stored in the editorial office for a period of five years.
- The written review contains a clear conclusion of the reviewer explaining the reasons for the admission of a scholarly article for publication or its rejection.
- The final decision on whether or not to accept the paper for publishing is made by the editor-in-chief on the basis of the analysis of the comments included in the review and the final version of the article provided by the author.
- Once a year the editors publish online the updated list of the reviewers with whom they cooperate.
