Authors are obliged to submit texts conforming to the requirements of Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego available on http://www.wuwr.com.pl/pages/dla-autorow-1.html. The titles, names and surnames of authors cited in the submissions originally written in alphabets other than the Latin alphabet must be transliterated into the Latin script.

6. The authors will be informed about whether their articles have been accepted for publication in Nowa Kodyfikacja Prawa Karnego (New Criminal Law Codification) within 2 months from the date of sending full documentation via e-mails sent to the addresses provided by them.

7. Articles submitted for publication are reviewed, and the reviews are confidential and anonymous double-blind review. A list of reviewers is published in every issue of the journal.The reviewers’ comments are sent to the author who is obliged to take into account the corrections suggested by the reviewers or to send an explanation if he or she decides not to take them into account. The Editorial Board refuses to accept an article for publication in the case of two negative reviews.

8. The Editorial Board seeks to prevent cases of ghostwriting and guest authorship, which are manifestations of scholarly dishonesty. Ghostwriting is a situation when someone has made a significant contribution to an article without revealing his or her role as one of the authors or without being mentioned in the acknowledgements. We are dealing with guest authorship when an individual’s contribution is very limited or non-existent and yet he or she is listed as the author/co-author of an article. Such practices are combatted by making open the information about the contributions of the various authors to an article (information about the author of the concept, assumptions, methods, protocol etc. used when writing the article).

9. All articles presenting results of statistical research are submitted to the statistical editor.

10. The top left-hand side corner of the title page of the submission should contain details concerning the author/authors (e-mail addresses and telephone numbers, work place, affiliation in the case of academics). What is also recommended is an ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) profile making it possible to follow the author’s work online. The ORCID number should be indicated under the author’s/authors’ details.

11. Each submission in Polish should be accompanied by a short (maximum up to 400 characters including spaces) summary and title of the article in English as well as up to 5 key words in English. Texts in a language other than Polish should be accompanied by a summary in English and Polish. The summary should specify the subject matter, aims and main conclusions.

12. The publishing house reserves the right to introduce editorial changes into submitted articles.

13. Authors are obliged to make corrections to their articles within 7 days of receiving the relevant comments. A failure to make the corrections within the deadline signifies that the author agrees to have his or her article published in the form submitted for proofreading.

14. By submitting the article, the author agrees for it as well as its basic data, including its summary in English and the author’s details (name and surname, institution, e-mail address) and key words to be included in the online database Czasopisma Naukowe w Sieci (CNS) [Academic Journals on the Web].

15. Authors do not receive any fee for their articles.
