"Studia Gdańskie" (abbr. StGd ) is a scientific periodical that publishes original scientific articles and reviews, which are not currently the subject of any other publishing process, within research disciplines belonging to the fields of theological, human and social sciences, in particular biblical exegesis, systematic and practical theology, history of religion and the Church as well as philosophy, sociology and pedagogy.
Texts, i.e. articles and reviews, are published in Polish or English. All articles submitted to StGd undergo a blind review process before their publication.
The submitted articles must meet the criteria of original scientific texts. The aim of the article must be evident, the (hypo)theses discussed in it should be clearly formulated, the main and original content emphasized, the methodology appropriate and clear. The articles must be provided with appropriate documentation (citations, bibliographical references, list of literature consulted, etc.).
Rules for accepting and reviewing articles
1. Articles in electronic form in Microsoft Word format should be submitted and attached after logging in or registering at https://czasopisma.uksw.edu.pl/index.php/sg/.
2. The texts are first submitted for preliminary assessment to the subject editors, who decide whether to admit the article to the review process.
3. Each article is assessed by two reviewers using the principle of double-blind review, i.e., the authors and reviewers of the articles do not know each other’s identities.
4. The list of reviewers cooperating with "Studia Gdańskie" is available on the journal's website.
5. The final decision on accepting the article for publication is made by the Chief Editor, taking into account the assessment of the reviewers and the final version of the text provided by the author after addressing any corrections suggested by the reviewers.
6. The Editors reserve the right to make linguistic corrections.
Editorial guidelines
1.The volume of the article (including the list of references) must not exceed 40 thousand characters, and that of the review15 thousand characters (including spaces), in A4 format (font Times New Roman 12, spacing 1.5; in footnotes font 10 with superscript references).
2. The article should be accompanied by:
a) abstract (100-150 words) and keywords (3-5) in Polish;
b) title, abstract and keywords in English;
c) an alphabetical list of literature used in writing the article;
d) a short biographical note about the Author (including academic titles and degrees, place of work (affiliation), ORCID number and correspondence address (regular and electronic).
3. Articles submitted to the Editor should be linguistically and stylistically correct and have a clear layout with a marked introduction, subsequent parts of the analysis (with subheadings) and conclusion.
4. No special formatting should be used in the submitted text; use the Enter key to start a new paragraph, do not split words or use highlighting.
5. If the submitted article is the result of a specific research program or project financed by an organization or institution, this should be clearly indicated in a separate footnote on the first page of the article (reference attached to the title). For example: This study is part of a research project funded by the National Science Centre (UMO-2017/31 / B / HS1 / 03457).
6. Explanatory footnotes should be used only when it is necessary. Arabic numerals should be used when numbering the footnotes. Explanatory footnotes should not be used for routine bibliographical references. Routine bibliographical references should be placed in the text itself in brackets, giving the author’s surname, the year of publication, page number/s, e.g. (McCormick 2007, 54). In references where a page range is given, a hyphen should be used between the page numbers, e.g. 12-14 (with no space between the hyphen and the digit). Individual references in the same brackets should be separated by a semicolon and pages by a full stop (without spaces), e.g. (McCormick 2007, 54; Dohmen 2021, 40.45.71-73).
Where two or three authors (surnames) are included in the same reference, an "and" should be used between the last two surnames, e.g. (Schmid and Kowalski 2017, 53-57). In the case of more than three authors in the same reference, the first author’s surname should be given and then the abbreviation "et al.", e.g. (Nowak et al. 2007, 41). The use of abbreviations such as "cf." is not permitted. For routine references relating only to the last sentence, brackets (with a reference) are placed in the sentence, i.e. written before the full stop (the last punctuation mark). For routine references relating to more than one sentence or to an entire paragraph, brackets are placed outside the last sentence, i.e. after the full stop (the last punctuation mark). All publications used in writing the article should be listed separately at the end in a special section entitled” Bibliography” arranged in alphabetical (by author's surname) and chronological order. In cases of more than one publication by the same author in the same year, the appropriate letter (a, b, c etc.) should be added to the year of publication, e.g. 1992a, 1992b etc.
In the case of references to biblical texts, standard Polish abbreviations of biblical books should be used (according to: Pismo Święte Starego i Nowego Testamentu [Biblia Tysiąclecia], 5th edition, Poznań 2008). When quoting a biblical text, a hyphen (-) is used between verses and a dash (¬¬¬¬–) between chapters. There should be no space after the digit informing about the book number; likewise, before the digit indicating the verse number, e.g., 2Sm 6-8; 1 Kings 7: 13-22: 40.48-51.
