INSTRUCTION CONCERNING THE STRUCTURE OF A SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE

Firstly, in the Introduction part, the author should present the research subject and review the relevant literature, paying particular attention to the current state of research pertinent to the examined question. Next, the author should outline the theoretical inter-pretation framework, within which the problem will be analyzed. The next part, called Methods, should explain to the reader the methodology used, including measuring tools, the participants of the research and the research procedure. The following part, Results, presents the most important results of the study and refers to the results obtained by other authors (Discussion). Finally authors may summarize briefly the practical implications arising from the paper or include indications for further directions of research. The authors who benefited from the financing of the research proce-dure are obliged to provide the source of the financing.
