Editorial guidelines
· text formatting: main text font: Times New Roman 12, 1.5 spacing; text font in footnotes: Times New Roman 10, 1 spacing
· use 2.5 cm margins
· use capital letters in the title and subtitle of the article
· do not use bold and underlined text.
· quote with quotation marks, and not in italics
· place bibliographical footnotes under the text where they appear (so-called footnote)
· write titles and subtitles of the publication in italics
· avoid using multiple footnotes in one sentence; if the authors' names appearing in the same sentence require separate bibliographic data, one footnote should be placed at the end of the sentence, and it should contain the relevant bibliographical references
· write foreign words in italics, e.g. primo
· place footnote marks before the punctuation mark
· provide the full name of the organisation or institution when you mention it for the first time, e.g. United Nations
· provide a person's full name when you mention them for the first time, e.g. Lech Nowakowski
· write proper names in a Polish text in Polish, e.g. Organizacja Paktu Północnoatlantyckiego, Unia Europejska, Stany Zjednoczone Ameryki [North Atlantic Treaty Organization, European Union, United States of America], and in an English text - in English
· do not decline abbreviations, e.g. PSL instead of PSL-u
· write dates as follows: 25 October 2008, in October 2008
· write decades in words, e.g. in the eighties
· use en dash without spaces in ranges, e.g. 1945-1989
· the text should be attached with bibliography ordered alphabetically by the name of the first of authors or - if the entry is a collective work - by the title of such work
