Reviewing procedure

"Yearbook of Conrad Studies " review process

Articles, essays and reviews must be original contributions to Conrad studies and are expected to be written both in a scholarly manner and in (good) English. It goes without saying that the editorial board of the Yearbook cannot under any circumstances condone the practices of ghostwriting, guest authorship or the simultaneous submission of the same contribution to more than one journal.

In accordance with our current editorial policies, articles submitted for publication are read by two independent reviewers having no affiliations to the Jagiellonian University, one of whom cannot be affiliated to a university in the author"s home country.

As we hold to the double-blind peer review principle, the identities of authors will normally not be disclosed to reviewers and vice versa. In cases where this is impractical, the reviewer will be required to declare that no conflict of interest, close personal relationship or state of professional or legal dependency exists between him or her and the author of the article under review and, furthermore, that he or she has not been directly involved in any scholarly cooperation with the author for a period of at least two years.

Reviews must be made in writing and must clearly state whether the article in question should or should not be approved for publication.
 
Contributions should be sent by e-mail to the editor: Andrzej Juszczyk: a.juszczyk@uj.edu.pl
