History
A nationwide journal whose issues are related to political science in the broadest sense, founded in 2010 at the Faculty of Political Science and Journalism of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan by then doctoral students. Initially, “Reflections” was published as a semiannual with a thematic division. Currently, they are published as a yearbook.

Peer Review Process

• Each article is subject to internal review by the editors of the journal Reflections, as well as a double external review. The texts are checked for correctness: linguistic, methodological and substantive. If deficiencies are found, the texts will be sent back to the authors.
• For the evaluation of each submitted text, a thematic editor is appointed responsible for its preliminary review. Pre-approved texts are forwarded for review to two persons from among those listed on the list of reviewers cooperating with the Editorial Board.
• Reviewers, evaluating the text, fill out a review form available on the journal's website. The review contains a clear conclusion on whether the material should be accepted for publication.
• Articles are reviewed in double blind peer review mode. This means that the authors of the publication and the reviewers do not know each other's identities.
