In the interest of a fast and efficient course of the publishing process, please follow our guidelines for printing and electronic version of the submitted materials.
- Technical guidelines for the preparation of texts before submitting them to the Publishing House:
- The text should be written in Word, in DOC or RTF format, basic text in Times New Roman 12 point font, 1.5 line spacing, 2.5 cm margins
- The submitted printout must be compatible with the electronic version delivered by e-mail or on an external storage medium
- The printout should be one-sided, on white A4 paper
- Continuous page numbering throughout the work (continuous pagination)
- Drawings should be made in one of the following programs: CorelDraw, Illustrator or Excel. They should be written in vector form with the possibility of applying corrections.
- Keep table formatting to a minimum.
- We use italics (italic text) - apart from formulas (see below) - only in monograph titles, chapters, articles and foreign words (e.g. homo viator). We put the names of journals in quotation marks (eg "Management. Theory and practice").
- Among the dashes, there are two most often: a dash and a hyphen (hyphen). We use the hyphen only in complex words (socio-economic phenomena; Kowalska-Malinowska). In other cases, we put a half-pause. Examples: 2013-2015 (no spaces); pp. 112–122 (no spaces); "As a result - chaos was created" (here with spaces). We will definitely put a good half-pause by pressing CTRL and selecting "minus" from the digital part of the keyboard.
- Numbers and titles of tables and figures should be written in bold, with a smaller font than the main text. (10 points, 1.0 distance)
- Always provide the source under the table or drawing, eg "Source: own study"; "Source:" Statistical yearbook of the Central Statistical Office ", Warsaw 2012. No bold, reduced font 10 pt, space 1.0.
Mathematical formulas
The standard provides for strict rules for distinguishing elements of mathematical writing with a different typeface.
In italics (in italics), the following are distinguished:
- letters denoting numbers, variable and constant quantities, and geometric points,
- function designations,
- letter signs and letter abbreviations in subscript and superscripts (except for two or three letter abbreviations).
In antiquity (in flat script) we write:
- Arabic and Roman numbers, also in indexes,·symbols and abbreviations of units of measurement,· abbreviations consisting of two or more letters,· fixed function symbols,· special numbers: π, e (base of the natural logarithm),· probability, e.g. P (A), expected value E (x), variance of a random variable D2 (X), increment sign Δ. We distinguish vectors in bold italics. We distinguish matrices in semi-bold antique letters. The formulas can be numbered by placing the number on the right hand side in parentheses. The point is that they can be referred to in the text. That is why important and final formulas are numbered. Groups of homogeneous formulas and systems of equations are given one common number, enclosing them in a brace before the number.
METHOD OF PREPARING FOOTNOTES AND BIBLIOGRAPHY
Footnotes in monographs and textbooks as well as an attachment bibliography may be made using the traditional (consistent with Polish bibliographic standards) or Harvard method. The selected method must be consistently and uniformly applied throughout the study. The traditional method is adopted in the journal Social Studies.
TRADITIONAL METHOD FOOTNOTES
- Footnotes should be placed at the bottom of the page, not at the end of the chapter.
- We number the footnotes within the chapter (in each chapter from 1 to n) or within the book, when it is one author and when there are not many footnotes.
- When making footnotes, we describe the cited publications in the same way as in the bibliography, but we start the author's name with the initial of the first name, then we put the surname.
- Items that have been previously mentioned within this numbering (in this chapter) are marked as follows:
- If so far we have only referred to this one position of a given author - the name of the author and the abbreviation op.cit.
- If we have previously cited his other works, we put the first words of the title, ellipsis, comma and op.cit after the author's name.
- If we cited the same position in the footnote immediately preceding the present one, we omit the name of the author and any other information and write ibid.· We end the description with the number of pages to which we refer. At the end we put a period.
- If the footnote concerns data contained in the table, it should be placed directly after the table. There are no numerical references, only letters (lower case letters in the superscript) or asterisks (when there are few footnotes within the table), and one type should be used consistently throughout the text.
Footnotes: terminological, extending, polemical - we always place at the bottom of the page.
ATTACHMENT REFERENCES
The bibliography should be prepared uniformly, without the division of literature into, for example, books and articles. Only documents, legal acts, netography can be separated and placed at the end of the bibliography.
- We make it in alphabetical order.
- Individual elements of the bibliographic description are separated with commas.
- The title of the described item is in italics.
- We enclose the title of the journal or other periodical in quotation marks.

II. Articles in monographs (books) and serials (magazines, publishing series, etc.)
- Name of the author of the article (surname and initials)
- Title of the article
- Description of the publisher in which the article is published.If it is a book (a complete publication - see point I), precede the description with the phrase in: (example IIa).If it is a serial publication, e.g. a journal, its description consists of the following elements (example IIb):ü Journal title in quotation marks,ü Name of the causative institution - necessary when it is e.g. a bulletin, review, notebooks (e.g. IIc),ü Publisher name,ü Place of publication,ü Date and designation of the part.

THE HARVARD'S METHOD We can also - uniformly throughout the study - use the Harvard method of making footnotes and bibliographic (source) description.
FOOTNOTES In the main text, Harvard footnotes are used, placed in brackets located directly in the text and containing the author's name, year of publication, or the page of the cited publication, but usually the page of the cited publication is included in the bibliographic description.
The way of presenting this data depends on the context of the sentence, e.g .:
According to Majewski (2015), this phenomenon is broad
Other authors assess this phenomenon positively (Majewski 2015, p. 222).
If there are two or more authors, then both names are given, e.g .: (Majewski, Florkiewicz 2015) or (Majewski, Florkiewicz et al. 2015) When reference is made to several publications, the alphabetical order is used first and then the chronological order, e.g .: (Majewski 2005; Florkiewicz 2012) In the case of references to several items by the same author published in the same year, an additional letter should be introduced, e.g .: (Majewski 2012a; Majewski 2012b) or (Majewski 2012a; 2012b). In the case of references to the publication of two persons with the same surname, their initials should be added, e.g .: (K. Majewski 2011; Z. Majewski, 2011). Quoting is done on the same terms. It is necessary to provide the number of the page that we are citing in brackets, e.g .: (Majewski 2002, p. 21). In the case of reference to legal acts, the beginning of their name should be given, e.g. (Ustawa o ... 2018). In the case of reference to collective works (edited), when it is not possible to identify the author of a given part of the work, the text should include the title of the publication or its abbreviated version and the year of publication, e.g .: (Multinational Enterprises 2019). References to websites containing materials without an author: in the footnote - https://www.polityka.pl/ [access: 15.11.2016]. in the text - (www1) (description of the entire link in the bibliography) In the Harvard style, it is necessary to place a bibliography at the end of each text, taking into account the page numbers of the publication referred to by the author in the text.
ATTACHMENT BIBLIOGRAPHY The bibliography contains a list of only those items that are cited in the text of the article. It must be prepared in alphabetical order, according to the authors' surnames or by title (if there is no author / editor / causative institution). Works by one author are listed chronologically. In the case of the publication year of one author repeating itself, the publications are listed alphabetically. If for several publications the same person is the author or co-author (which means that several bibliographic entries start with the same surname), then independent publications are given first, and then co-authored ones. In collective works, the first element of the description is the name of the scientific editor with the abbreviation (editor). The following order of entry generally applies:
- Surname and initial of the author's name,
- Year of publication (in parentheses),
- Title (in italics)
- Publisher,
- Place of publication,
- Page numbers.
