Submissions
Submission Preparation Checklist
As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
- The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
- The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
- Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
- The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
- The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
Author Guidelines
The authors are responsible for obtaining and submitting to the Editor permission to reproduce in their text illustrative materials covered by copyright.
Submission of the text for printing means an agreement to the printing without receiving royalties in exchange for the copy of the publication. The Editor reserves the right to the final decision regarding the text for the print.
We ask for consistent application of principles, which significantly accelerate prepress.
GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING THE TEXT TO PRINT "Transfer. Reception studies "
Need to check the DOI number
Since the magazine is available in the open access resources, editorial office is required to check with each article selected for publication, whether bibliographic references cited in the text (footnotes, bibliographies) are accompanied with DOI numbers by the publishers, and place such a number in the bibliographic description of a cited publication. Editorial office asks the authors to check the availability of cited works in open access and to enter DOI number. The easiest way to check the DOI numbers is to look up publishers and editors websites relevant to the referenced articles, also on CrossRef website: http://www.crossref.org/guestquery.
Therefore, bibliographic entry is as follows: Władysława, Szulakiewicz, "Ego-dokumenty i ich znaczenie w badaniach naukowych," Przegląd Badań Edukacyjnych 16 (2013): 65-84, http://dx.doi.org/10.12775/PBE.2013.006.
I. Basic requirements
- All documents in an electronic version should be sent in MS Word format (*doc).
- Format: A4 paper size (margins: 25 mm), font 12 pt Times New Roman, 1,5 spacing between the lines.
- Font size in supplementary materials (tables, footnotes, signatures) should be 9 points. The maximum width of the table is 12.5 cm for the vertical layout and 18 cm for the horizontal layout.
- The author's name in the upper left corner, below the affiliation; the title of the paper should be centred and bold.
- By using any material from other publications, you must obey the copyright laws.
II. Main text
- Paragraphs should begin with indentations set equally for the entire document (using the upper ruler or the paragraph formatting window).
- Accurate quotes are entered using "quotation marks". Quote in quotation are marked with French quotation marks. French quotation marks can be inserted from the character table (command: insert symbol). You can also use a separate paragraph with a smaller font of writing.
- The titles of printed works (O dobrej i złej polszczyźnie, Kamienie na szaniec), foreign words (a propos, ex lege), Latin systematic names (Corvus corvus), Italian musical terms (legato) should be written in italics.
- Text can be distinguished by bold font. No distinction should be made by underlining. Also avoid combining several types of distinctions. Distinctions should be applied consistently within a given work.
