For Authors

1. The Editorial Committee accepts previously unpublished scholarly papers in literary studies in Polish, English, German and French. The Editorial Committee does not return non-commissioned submissions.

2. By submitting their articles to the journal’s Editorial Committee the authors a) state that they hold the copyright rights to the articles, that the articles are free from any defects of title and that they have not been previously published elsewhere in their entirety or in part nor have they been submitted to any other journal, and b) grant their consent, free of charge, to have their articles published in Prace Literackie under the terms of Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence (CC BY 4.0), a copy of which is available at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/. Authors retain the copyright to their articles (© Author) and full publishing rights and grant the publisher of the journal a non-exclusive licence for the publication of the paper, free of charge.

3. Length of articles: 30,000 characters including spaces.

4. Formal requirements: font – Times New Roman 12, line spacing – 1.5, footnotes. Authors are obliged to submit texts conforming to the requirements of Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego available at the Publisher’s website. 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.

5. Manner of submission: articles should be sent in electronic form (MS Word document: DOC/DOCX or RTF) via e-mail sent to:malgorzata.loboz@uwr.edu.pl or olga.taranek-wolanska@uwr.edu.pl. Submissions not conforming to the required standards may not be taken into account in the selection process.

6. The authors will be informed about whether their articles have been accepted for publication in Prace Literackie within 30 days 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 Committee refuses to accept an article for publication in the case of two negative reviews.

8. The Editorial Committee 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. In the case of submissions presenting the results of statistical research, the Editorial Committee liaises with a statistical editor to verify the statistical material.

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 600 characters including spaces) summary and title of the article in English as well as 5 keywords 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 publisher reserves the right to make editorial corrections to the texts. Editorial work is outsourced to language editors specializing in the language concerned.

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 the article to be published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0) and 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 keywords to be included in the online database Czasopisma Naukowe w Sieci (CNS) [Academic Journals on the Web].

15. The journal does not charge Authors any fees for submission or publication.

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

17. After an article has been published, its author receives one printed copy of Prace Literackie free of charge. All articles made available by Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego in PDF format can be found on https://wuwr.pl/plit.
