Graphic layout
In order to preserve the uniform graphic layout of all the publications printed by Stanislaw Staszic UAS
publishing house, the decision about the form of a book’s cover lies on the side of the publishing house.
The authors or academic editors of particular volumes are responsible for preparing the text of their
volume’s back cover.
The volume of the texts
The volume of an article that is to be published in SCL (in principle) should not be larger than 1,0 (one)
publisher’s sheet with prints, and monographs, 1,6 publisher’s sheet (one publisher’s sheet equals
40000 characters or 3000cm2 or 700 lines of poetry). In justified cases the volume of an article can be
larger. The volume of the works accepted for publishing is not limited, but in each case the Publishing
Council can rule on a limitation in this regard.
The text
Each topic should be studied in accordance with the methodology employed for a given academic field.
The text of the study (an article; a monograph, a textbook, a course book, another form of written
expression) ought to be delivered for edition in two forms: as a hard copy and in digital form on a CD.
The layout of the text
1. The first title page (in English and Polish)
2. The second title-page (The title in Polish and in English)
3. The editorial page (a short summary, the names of the reviewers and other relevant
information on the volume)
4. The list of the abbreviations used in the text
5. The contents in Polish
6. The contents in English
7. The introduction
8. The chapters and subchapters of the volume
9. Conclusion
10. Appendices
11. Bibliography
12. Any necessary notes on the authors in the book written by many authors.
The points 1, 2, and 6 all refer to texts written in Polish.
The auctorial hard copy ought to be signed by the author and include the complete text (with graphic
elements, tables, prints, maps, diagrams, and charts, each with proper explanations, descriptions and
captions). The hard copy ought to be without crossing-outs and corrections, written in Arial Narrow 12
points, the leading (the distance between the baselines of successive lines of type) 1,0, the titles of
chapters and subchapters should be singled out, Bold, the left and right margin 3 cm, the top and
bottom margin 2 cm, the pages ought to be numbered. If a text is divided into several files, they should
be properly labeled so that there is no doubt about their order in the volume.
One needs to supply both printed and hard copy of the text. The hard copy text should be supplied in a
commonly available editor, preferably Word or Excel, whereas all other elements of the publication
(graphic elements, tables, prints, maps, diagrams, charts and photos) regardless of their placement in
the text, should be put in additional graphic files, in resolution allowing the necessary reprography. Hard
copies are significant elements of archive documentation.
A scientific article should contain key words and a summary ( abstract or synopsis; about 800
topographic signs) referring to the subject and the aim of research, its results and implications. The title
of the work, the keys words and the summary should be put in both Polish and English.
The text may also contain:


a list of abbreviations, for example, the titles of magazines or some terminology; in the case of
only few abbreviations used, their explanations can be placed in the text,
dedications, acknowledgements, information about sponsors (if necessary), author’s own
remarks and suggestions for printing or reprography – but within the technical and financial
possibilities available to the printing house.
Together with the text, authors ought to include the following information:






their scientific degree or title,
affiliation,
the place of work and the address of the institution,
author’s telephone number,
author’s address,
author’s e-mail address.
The formation of references and bibliography
Each scientific work refers to literature of a given academic field. Therefore, authors are obliged to point
the sources of their reference - the authors and the titles of their works - in references made directly in
the text and in bibliography. Using ideas or quoting a given author without acknowledging their work is
perceived as disrespect for intellectual property. In consequence such a text may be treated as a form
of plagiarism and cannot be given any evaluation. While working on a scientific paper, one must not
ignore the principle that each idea or declaration made by other scientists and authors must be given
due reference making it clear if a given idea is author’s own declaration or only a reference made to
intellectual property of some other authors or scientists.
The rules referring to the layout and format of the references are precise. There are different, though
equally correct systems. In Stanislaw Staszic UAS Publishing House the so-called Harvard Referencing
System is used. The system comprises two elements: the references included in the text and complete
bibliography put at the end of the text.
The formulation of references in the text
According to the Harvard System of Reference, the references are placed directly in the text (but not in
foot-notes like in other traditional systems). The cited author's name should be given in brackets
together with the issue date of the book or article.
In practice, it should be listed as follows:

immediately after quoting or referring to an idea, opinion or author's achievements :
(surname, date, page number)
(Kowalski 2012: 7)

in the case of two authors:
(Kowalski I Nowak 2010: 10)

in the case of three authors:
(Kowalski, Nowak i Wiśniewski 2010: 7-10)

in the case of multiple (more than three) authors:
(Kowalski i inni 2009: 23)

if the same thought is expressed by different authors:
(Kowalski 1999); (Nowak 2012); (Wiśniewski 2013)

when citing an author who published more than one work in a given year, a small letter should
be added to the year:
(Kowalski 1999a: 6) (Kowalski 1999b: 12) (Kowalski 1999c: 9)

if the same thought appears in more than one work by the same author:
(Kowalski 2001, 2002)

if different authors share the same surname, the initial of their first name should be added:
(Kowalski B. 2010) (Kowalski J. 2013)
When referring to legal acts, e.g. laws or regulations, the reference should be cited as follows:
(The act of 10th March 2010)
( MNiSW Regulation of 10th Novemeber 2012)
When referring to norms, appropriate references should also be given:
(PN-ISO 69-2:1999)
It often happens that the author of a given work refers to an author and his or her book which he or she
had not read personally but which was mentioned in the publication being read. Should this be the case,
it has to be written as shown below:
( according to Wiśniewski 1998:88)
It has to be remembered that other footnotes are traditionally written at the bottom of the page, for
instance footnotes controversial in nature or requiring extra explanations which are regarded as
important but deliberately not included in the main text in order not to introduce additional issues. Such
footnotes provide the reader with information, extra explanation of the read text as well as the thoughts
of the author.
Terms of writing a bibliography
At the end of a given work there is placed a bibliography. It only includes the publications to which the
author referred. They are ordered alphabetically according to the surnames of the authors or the titles of
the publications if a given work does not have a known author, editor or founding institution.
Nevertheless,
1. If more than one reference is given by the same author, it is obligatory to incorporate his or her
work according to the year of the publication, beginning with the earliest.
2. The titles of works are always written in italics.
3. Bibliographical description is written according to the following pattern:
the surname of the author (of a book, article, formulation),
the initial of the author’s name
the year of the publication (the issue number if it is not the first one)
the title of the work (also subtitle)
publisher
place of publication
for instance:
GOLKA M., 2004. W cywilizacji konsumpcyjnej, Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, Poznań.
GORLACH K., 2004. Socjologia obszarów wiejskich. Wydawnictwo Naukowe SCHOLAR, Warszawa.
If the work being referred to is joint authorship, its bibliographic description looks as follows:
GALAS B., LEWOWICKI T., 1991. Osobowość a aspiracje, Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego,
Warszawa.
HALL R.E., TAYLOR J.B., 1995.Makroekonomia. Teoria, funkcjonowanie i polityka. PWN, Warszawa.
DROZDOWSKI R., ZAKRZEWSKA K., PUCHALSKA M., MORCHAT D., 2010, Wspieranie postaw
proinnowacyjnych przez wzmacnianie kreatywności jednostki, Polska Agencja Rozwoju
Przedsiębiorczości, Warszawa.
In the case of collective works, the following pattern should be used:
the surname of the author (whose chapter or article has been referred to)
initial of the first name
the name of the chapter (in italics)
in:
editor’s surname (editors’ surnames)
initial of the first name
(ed.)
the title of the book (in italics)
publisher’s name
place of publishing
i.e. GÓRNIAK K., 2005. Wizerunek wsi i rolnictwa w kontekście przystąpienia Polski do Unii
Europejskiej, in: FEDYSZAK-RADZIEJOWSKA B. (ed.), Proces demarginalizacji polskiej wsi,
Instytut Spraw Publicznych, Warszawa.
FEDYSZAK-RADZIEJOWSKA B. 2012. Społeczności wiejskie pięć lat po akcesji do UE – sukces
spóźnionej transformacji, in: WILKIN J., NURZYŃSKA I. (ed.), Polska wieś 2012. Raport o stanie
wsi, Wydawnictwo Naukowe SCHOLAR, Warszawa.
If the books, articles or other sources which have been referred to come from the Internet, the
main domain and full date of material download should be given. i.e.
GROSSE T., HARDT Ł. 2010, Sektorowa czy zintegrowana, czyli o optymalnej strategii rozwoju polskiej
wsi, https://www.mrr.gov.pl/aktualnosci/fundusze_europejskie_2007_2013 (date of access: 7. 01.
2013).
Polityka UE w zakresie rozwoju obszarów wiejskich na lata 2007–2013,
http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/publi/fact/rurdev2007/2007_pl.pdf (date of access: 8. 12. 2012).
Bibliographical information for legal documents should be edited according to the following
pattern:
The Act of 27 July 2005. Law on Higher Education, Journal of Laws. 2005 No.164 item 1365.
The Public Finances Act of 27 August 2009, Official Gazette of the Republic of Poland, 2009. No. 157,
item 1240.
In bibliographic descriptions of publications issued by institutions or organizations, where there is no
author or editor we apply the following:
CSO 2009. Demographic Yearbook 2008, Statistical Publishing Company, Warsaw.
CSO 2012 Census of Population and Housing 2011. Report of the results,
http://www.stat.gov.pl/cps/rde/xbcr/gus/lud_raport_z_wynikow_NSP2011.pdf (accessed: 5.01. 2013).
In the case of bibliographic description standards, we give its full name, for example a footnote in the
text is as follows: (PN-EN ISO 661: 2006).
Tables
The numbering of tables (Arabic numerals) and title should be placed above the table.
Positions requiring explanations in the table should be indicated in superscript with a following small
letter of the alphabet or an asterisk.
Notes and explanations to the tables need to be placed directly under the tables.
If the table contains data from someone else's work, you must specify the source underneath.
Figures (drawings, charts, maps, diagrams, photos, etc.)
The numbering and description are to be placed under the figures.
Information (descriptions) in the drawings are to be proportionate to the size of the drawing, but legible
after any possible reduction.
Note: graphic elements of the publication (drawings, sketches, photographs) must be delivered to the
publisher in a digital form, in separate files stored in standard graphic formats.
