Author Guidelines

  • Instructions for Authors

    The journal primarily publishes original articles. Submission of an article to the Editorial Board is equivalent to a statement by the Author(s) that the work has not been previously published and is not submitted for publication in any other journal. Authors also take responsibility for securing all rights for its submission. All submitted articles are evaluated by two independent reviewers recognized as authorities in the relevant discipline. Reviewers are asked to write a review after receiving the manuscript (without personal data of the authors) and a review form, which may be supplemented with additional questions related to the article in justified cases. The waiting time for reviews is between 1 to 6 months. Upon completion of the review process, authors are informed of the results and, if both reviews are positive, asked to incorporate the suggested revisions. The acceptance of the work for publication is determined by the opinions of independent reviewers and the editorial acceptance.

    • Submitted papers will be subject to peer review by appropriate referees. The names of the reviewers and the results of their work are confidential data.
    • The Publisher accepts complete scripts of the Work in *.doc. *.docx in addition to *.pdf format.
    • We accept articles written in English, German and French.
    • Every text should consist of a title in English (in case of articles written in German or French, there should be also the title in German or French), main body text, keywords (4-10), and an abstract in English (150 to 200 words).
    • The Authors should provide their affiliation, ORCID number (if they have it) as well as footnotes and end of article bibliography, which should include only Latin letters.
    • By submitting the text, the Author warrants to the Publisher:
    1. That the Author is the sole author of the Work. Both ghostwriting and guest authorship are manifestations of scientific misconduct. All detected cases will be exposed and appropriate authorities will be informed;
    2. That the Author holds the full power and authority to grant these rights;
    3. That the Work has not been published in any form nor in any language with any company or person that may still own proprietary rights to the Work.
    • By submitting the text, the Author grants, assigns, and transfers to the Publisher, during the full term of copyright and all renewals thereof, the sole and exclusive right to print, publish, distribute, market and sell the Work in any and all editions and formats throughout the World. The assignment is granted free of charge to Rocznik Orientalistyczny/Yearbook of Oriental Studies and shall be effective as long as it complies with the EU directives.
    • The Author shall receive two free copies of the Rocznik Orientalistyczny/Yearbook of Oriental Studies issue in which the Work appears.
    • The Editor reserves the right to copyedit and proof texts accepted for the publication.
