Guidelines for Authors of Reviews

Studia Polityczne accepts for publication scientific literature reviews only. A prior contact with the Editors is recommended in order to decide on the author and title of the book to be reviewed. This will allow to exclude repetitions as the review might have already been written by someone else. The chosen book should not be older than two years since the publishing date. The length of the review should not exceed half of the publishing sheet, i.e. 20 thousand characters. At the top of the first page the review should contain a full bibliographical description of the reviewed book. One review can include several works of the same author or works on a similar topic. The review must include the reviewer’s assessment (praise or critique – otherwise it is just a description of the book) and conclusions (what is the contribution of the book to the discipline, evaluation of the back matter, bibliography, indication of indices, pictures, tables etc.) The review may also assess the work of the publisher (work of the Copy Editor, Editor, Graphic Editor). The review shall contain (preferably at the end) full information on the author of the review (name and surname, academic degree or title, address, affiliation, email and/or telephone number).
