2. Articles submitted for publication must conform to the rules contained in the Publishing Manual; failure to comply with these rules will result in the return of the article for improvement and, consequently, the possibility of publication in the next volume.
3. Publication of the article in the next volume of the WSA is determined by the order of submissions.
4. The article shall be returned to the author after an internal review by the Editor with the reasons for the decision.

Information for authors1. Text in Polish: font Calibri 12 pt, line spacing 1.5 lines.
2. Do not number the pages.
3. Do not format the text, except for the use of italics.
4. Do not paste figures into Word (text file). Each figure is to be in a separate file, as a .tiff or .jpg.
5. Figures must be of a good technical and aesthetic standard. They must be properly labeled, and where appropriate, a legend should be included in the figure index.
6. Do not sign the figures in the image files. The index of figures with English translation should be included separately, in a text file. Use the name "figure" also when referring to plates and photographs, and use continuous numbering. All figures must be referenced in the text. Follow the order in which figures are cited in the text.
7. Place footnotes in the footer at the bottom of the text.
8. Do not paste tables from Excel into Word; submit tables in separate files (Excel or Word).
9. short quotations should be placed in quotation marks, longer quotations (including foreign language quotations and their translations) should be in a separate paragraph in smaller font, without quotation marks. Foreign language words should be italicized.
10. When quoting years and page numbering, use a divider (1999-2005; pp. 20-25).
11. In a separate text file, submit an abstract (min. 150 - max. 300 words) and keywords (in Polish and English).
12. The Anglo-Saxon (Oxford) system of footnotes applies, i.e. in round brackets the author's name, year and page number after the comma, followed by a table or figure, e.g.:
(Kowalski 1999, s. 23, ryc. 4:1) text.

If there will be two works of the same author from the same year, they should be marked with the letters "a", "b" (the order of assigning letters alphabetically according to the title of the work), e.g.:
(Kowalski 1999a, s. 23; 1999b, s. 54) text.
13. In a separate file, send the literature (do not format!), which must include all works cited in the text. The bibliographic description should be made according to the following formula:
Name of author(s) and initial of first name
Year title in italics, place of publication.
Year title in italics, name and number (issue, volume) of the journal, page numbers.
Year title in italics, [in:] title of collective work in italics, name initial and editor's name, place of publication, page numbers.
