Ethical notice

The Polish Political Science Review (PPSR), its editorial board and scientific board are committed to honesty and integrity in science. Therefore, strict ethical rules are observed and respected throughout the process of reviewing and publishing.　

Authorship

PPSR does not accept any sort of misdemeanour related to authorship of the submitted articles, especially ghost writing. Persons designated as authors should be those who have participated in the work and made a contribution to the article. All authors should be involved in drafting the article or revising it before and during the reviewing process so that they all share responsibility for the final, published version of the text. The order of authorship should be a joint decision of the co-authors.　

The authors are required to reveal their actual affiliation with a university or another institution. The affiliation does not impact the process of reviewing, but it is published along with the article.　

Conflict of interests

Authors are required to disclose competing interests. The authors are required to inform the editorial board of such a fact and the editorial board considers each case on an individual basis.　

Authors are required to provide the editorial board with all relevant information on funding or other forms of cooperation with any institutions or companies which have directly contributed to the research.　

Misconduct

This includes dual-submission, plagiarism, figure manipulation, fraudulent data and failure to disclose relevant information. Any of these or other forms of intellectual or formal dishonesty are strictly forbidden. If any breach of integrity is revealed, the editorial board will analyse each case individually and react in an appropriate manner, including rejection or withdrawal of a published article, if needed.　

If authors are using secondary material, they must obtain permission to reproduce any copyright materials and include an acknowledgement of the source in their manuscript.

Peer review

Papers that are outside the scope of the journal or do not follow the journal's guidelines may be rejected by the editorial board without the process of review. In such a case, the author is notified of the fact without undue delay. All papers published in PPSR are subject to double blind peer review of two independent referees, specialising in the area concerned. In the case of a significant discrepancy between the two reviews, the paper may be referred for a third review. Referees consider and evaluate the originality and merit of the paper's content. The final decision on publication is made by the editorial board.　

If needed, reviewers are equally required to notify the editors of any conflict of interest and refrain from reviewing articles in such a case.
