Review procedure

All texts undergo review by external reviewers and are entirely published in both Polish and English. Articles are reviewed according to the principles of double-blind peer review.

Review Process Guidelines:

• Article texts are reviewed according to the principles of double-blind peer review. The identity of the authors and reviewers is concealed during the review process.
• Each article is reviewed by independent reviewers external to the institution.
• In the case of submissions from abroad, at least one of the reviewers will be affiliated with an institution different from the author's nationality.
• The article review is in written form with a clear decision on whether to approve the article for publication or reject it. The article review form is available on the journal's website or accessible in the editorial office of the "Housing Environment - Środowisko Mieszkaniowe" journal.
• The review procedure rules are described on the journal's website or available in the editorial office of the "Housing Environment - Środowisko Mieszkaniowe" journal.

• Reviewers' names for each publication are disclosed annually to the public. The list of collaborating reviewers for each issue of "Housing Environment" is printed in the editorial section.

The submitting author is informed of the article's acceptance with editorial requirements and its submission to reviewers. Each review concludes with the reviewer's decision to admit, admit after revisions, or not admit the article for publication. Upon receiving reviews within the set deadline, the editorial team contacts the author to incorporate any reviewer comments into the publication. The article author is obliged to make necessary corrections within the deadline set by the Editorial Office and then submit the revised text. Failure to meet the deadline by the author may result in the article not being published in the "Housing Environment - Środowisko Mieszkaniowe" journal.

Reviewer Responsibilities:

• The reviewer objectively assesses the assigned text.

If there is suspicion of plagiarism, fabricated data, ghostwriting, guest authorship, or other abuses concerning the content or authors of the articles, the reviewer is obliged to immediately notify the Editorial Office. In each of these cases, the Editorial Office will apply procedures developed by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) and used in contentious publishing matters.
