Ethical standards: 
In publishing “Przegląd Konstytucyjny” we adhere to the principles of ethics that apply to authors, editors, reviewers and publishers, consistent with COPE Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

Procedure for reviewing publications:

  1. Manuscripts submitted for publication undergo a review process which complies with international academic standards. The manuscript is approved for publication in two stages.
  2. The first stage of the review process is the formal assessment, covering the consistency of subject of the text with the journal’s profile, preparation of the text in line with editorial guidelines, creative contribution to the development of the discipline, whether the text is accompanied by an abstract, keywords and note about the author.
  3. The second stage of the review process is the content-based assessment. Every manuscript (other than a review, note, report or commentary) is reviewed by two reviewers, one of them is a member of the Editorial Committee (internal reviewer), the other reviewer is not a member of the Editorial Committee or the academic institution affiliated by the author of the publication (external reviewer).
  4. Manuscripts in foreign languages are evaluated by at least one reviewer affiliated with a different foreign institution than that of the author of the reviewed manuscript.
  5. Authors and external reviewers remain anonymous to one another (double blind review process). Authors do not know the identity of the internal reviewer either (single blind review process).
  6. A review is in the written form and ends with an unequivocal recommendation whether the manuscript should be accepted for publication, whether it needs revisions or should be rejected. Any doubts about the reviewed manuscripts are resolved by the Editorial Committee.
  7. The principles of accepting publications are described in the “Instruction for authors”.
  8. The identity of reviewers of manuscripts published in individual issues is not revealed.
  9. After the end of a calendar year, the journal publishes the list of external reviewers.
