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 text adheres to all of the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Editorial instructions, which is found in "For Authors".
  • If submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the journal, the instructions in Ensuring a Blind Review have been followed - the file does not contain name(s) of the Author(s), nor any information enabling reviewers to indicate the Author(s).

Author Guidelines

We welcome cooperation with all people who would like to publish their text in our journal. In accordance with our editorial policy, only articles that include the author's scientific contribution in the form of a critical analysis of the issues described and/or a description of the results of his own research will be published, with preference given to texts presenting the results of the authors' research.

All papers are reviewed in a double-blind system, in which the authors and reviewers do not know their identities. In order to exclude conflicts of interest, Reviewers are selected from other scientific entities than those of the Authors. In the Ekonomia Międzynarodowa /International Economics/ quarterly only texts accepted by two Reviewers are published. Each review ends with a clear conclusion. In case of divergent positions of the first two Reviewers, a third Reviewer is appointed.

Texts sent in for review and publication should be prepared in either Polish or English and in accordance with technical instructions established by the Editorial Board. In the case of co-authorship, unless the Co-Authors make a different statement together, the contribution of all Co-Authors is considered equal.

Articles should be reported as anonymized MsWord files. Author/Authors' personal data (in accordance with the guidelines below) should be included in the file only after the acceptance of the text after the reviews.

The submitted file should contain the text of the article, bibliography, as well as the title, abstract, and keywords in Polish and English (regardless of the language of the article).
