Authors are responsible for the quality of submitted texts, their linguistic clarity, and comprehensive and proper citation.

The Editorial Board reserves the right to reject submitted articles, introducing and recommending changes as well as rejecting papers which were not revised as suggested.

Formal requirements:

1. "Christianity-World-Politics" publishes papers that do not exceed one publishing sheet (approx. 40 000 characters with spaces and footnotes).
2. The article should include an introduction, main body, and conclusions. The introductory must contain a clearly formulated research problem and/or questions.
3. The text must be complemented with the title in Polish and English, an abstract in Polish and English of up to 1 000 characters (including spaces) and keywords in Polish and English (no more than seven). Subheadings are allowed in the text body.
4. The abstract should include: a) formulation of the goal/motivation to write the text, b) outlined scope of research, c) presented method of conducting research/analyses, d) the results obtained.
5. Editorial norms for the main text: Times New Roman font, size 12, leading 1.5, margin 2.5 cm. Justification needs to be applied.
6. Authors of texts should apply the principles of the Harvard style (with square brackets). If it is necessary to use footnotes (at the bottom of the page), they should be written according to following rules: Times New Roman font, size 10, leading 1.0. The footnotes end with a full stop. Footnote references within the text are to be placed before the punctuation mark.
7. Files prepared in the MS Word editor and saved in .doc or .docx format should be submitted via the platform. Graphics should be sent in the .jpg or .png format and satisfy the quality requirements for print.

The rules for informing the Authors (by electronic means) at the subsequent stages of publication:

1. We shall inform the Authors about the acceptance of the text for review within 50 days by sending information to a provided e-mail address.
2. We shall inform the authors about the acceptance of the text for publication (after a positive review) within six months.
3. The text will be published within 24 months from the moment it is accepted for publication.

RULES OF CITATION AND PREPARING THE LIST OF SOURCES:

1) At the first mention, the full name is to be provided and the abbreviation used further in the text is given brackets.

2) Authors of texts should apply the principles of the Harvard style (with square brackets):

       It is said that sociology is a new science dealing with a very old subject. Or that sociology has a short history, but a long past. Indeed, as a separate branch of scientific knowledge it originates only from the first half of the 19th century [Sztompka 2002: 11].

• When referring to several works of the same author published in one year, to differentiate them, a lowercase "a", "b" etc. is added after the publication date, e.g. [Grochal 2007a: 24] and [Grochal 2007b: 20].
• Where several papers are referenced, in the first instance the alphabetical order and then chronological order shall be used, e.g. [Lange 1965; Pokorska 2002; Prandecki 2011; Prandecki 2012].
• When referring several times to one paper, not separated by other items, the word "ibidem" should be used instead of the author's name and the year of publication, e.g. [ibidem: 123].
• Providing page numbers of a paper in bibliographic descriptions is optional.
• When a paper has two authors, both surnames should be given and joined with "and" conjunction. If there are three authors, it looks like this: [Ziółkowski, Kowalski and Nowak 1996: 34]
• However, when there are more than three authors, the surname of the first author should be given, with the abbreviation "et al." (and others), e.g. [Ziółkowski et al. 1997: 89]
• When we quote a text, the footnote looks like this: [quote from: Kowalski 2000: 187]
• Titles of books, magazines and newspapers should be written in italics.
• A properly arranged reference list is an integral part of a footnote in the text.
