Author Guidelines

We accept articles in English or in Polish.

By submitting an article for publication in Etyka the author declares that the article is his own original work (it is not a product of ‘ghostwriting’, ‘guest authorship’, etc.), that it has not yet been published either in full or in large part, and that, during the qualification procedure conducted by the Editorial Board of Etyka, the article is not being simultaneously considered by other journals. Discovered cases of academic dishonesty will be exposed (including notifying the institution that employs the author, as well as contacting the appropriate authorities and scientific associations).

Articles submitted for publication in Etyka undergo an initial qualification procedure by the Editorial Board. After being qualified by the Editorial Board, the article is reviewed by outside reviewers. The evaluation consists in assessing the significance of the discussed issue, originality of the solution to the problem raised in the article, logical validity of the argumentation, clarity of the theses posed by the author, knowledge and use of the relevant literature, empirical validity of the formulated theses, language correctness of the article.
