Principles of Peer Review

All articles submitted to Roczniki Historyczne are subject to peer review. The peer review process is carried out in accordance with the rules presented in the publication Good Practices in Reviewing Procedures in Science (Dobre praktyki w procedurach recenzyjnych w nauce), published in Warsaw in 2011.

• By submitting their text, the authors consent to the review process. First, the submitted articles are assessed by the Editorial Board.
• Approved texts are sent for review by two external reviewers.
• The reviewers are selected by the Journal’s Editorial Board.
• Reviews are in writing. The review template is available on the Journal’s website.
• Articles are not sent to reviewers from the author’s affiliate institution.
• The Journal uses double-blind review: reviewer doesn’t know the identity of the author, and vice-versa.
• The reviewer’s opinion with critical comments and suggestions is sent to the author who is obliged to make the required corrections. After corrections, if their scope was significant, the article may be returned to the reviewer for approval.
• The final decision to publish an article is made by the Editor-in-Chief. An article to be published has to receive two positive reviews.

The list of reviewers cooperating with the editorial office is published on the Journal’s website.
