AUTHOR'S GUIDELINES

REVIEW GUIDELINES

The review process in the journal "Ikonotheka" is compliant with the instructions issued by the Polish Ministry of Higher Education. By submitting their manuscript, the Author agrees on the following procedure of assessment:

1. The Editorial Board carries out a preliminary assessment of the form and content of the manuscript.

2. If the preliminary assessment is positive, the Editorial Board transfers the text without disclosing its Author for it to be assessed by two external reviewers, who do not have any conflict with the Author. They cannot use any information on the reviewed manuscript prior to its publication.

3. Following the reviewers’ conclusions, the Editorial Board decides on the manuscript publication, whilst reserving that the manuscript publication depends on whether the Author makes the modifications suggested by the Editorial Board on the basis of their own opinion and the reviewers’ comments.

4. The accepted text is edited as regards to its content and language correctness.

5. A list of our reviewers can be found on the website of "Ikonotheka".

SCIENTIFIC RELIABILITY GUIDELINES 

The Author submitting a manuscript by several authors has to reveal the contribution to the manuscript made by particular authors (including their affiliation address and the level of the contribution, i.e. information on the authors of the concept, assumptions, methods, protocols, etc. used during the preparation of the manuscript).

The Publisher recalls that ghostwriting and guest authorship are treated as scientific misconduct, and that all detected cases shall be disclosed, a notification shall be sent to relevant institutions, such as institutions employing the authors, scientific societies, associations of scientific editors, etc.

The Author is obliged to provide information on any funding sources for the publication and any contribution of research and scholarly institutions, associations, and other entities funding the author’s research. The author is fully responsible for the accuracy of the data provided.
