Peer Review Policy: Please remember that we are a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. At times, this can slow down the “decision making” process, as we must hear back from our experts in the field before we can advise the author of acceptance, rejection, or acceptance upon revision of his or her article. Not only is peer review an important aspect of academic integrity in publishing, but it is also a sine qua non for a multi-disciplinary journal such as ours. The journal solicits five evaluations for each submission to give authors a wider range of scholarly commentary. Readers are primarily external, but given the size of the field of Polish studies, highly specialized articles maybe also be evaluated by members of the editorial board.

All our texts are printed in English. Unfortunately, we are not in the position to pay authors for their work; we do not translate in-house, and we are unable to subside translation costs. All costs of translation into English are borne by the author.
