About the Journal

Aims and Scope

“Analecta Cracoviensia” is a theological annually issued periodical of the Faculty of Theology of the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Kraków, Poland. The journal has an interdisciplinary character, so it publishes articles on theological sciences and biblical sciences, as well as areas of sciences related to them: philosophy (including relativistic cosmology and the relations between science and religion), history (including the history of the Catholic Church) and canon law. Articles in “Analecta Cracoviensia” are published in Polish or in congressional languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian).

APCs

The journal does not charge any fees to authors for any part of the submission or publication process.

Double anonymous peer review

Initial screening is done by the Editorial Board. If the subject is appropriate, all submissions to be considered for publication in the Articles section will be subject to a double anonymous peer review process, i.e. the reviewers will not know the identity of the author(s) and the author(s) will not know the identity of the reviewers (each article will be sent to two reviewers, that are independent of the authors, i.e. not affiliated with the same institution). All other submissions to the journal will be subject to review by the Editorial Board.

The Ethics and Malpractice

To prevent ghostwriting and guest authorship, the editorial staff requires that the input of each author be disclosed, in particular the authorship of the concept, assumptions, methods and relevant passages. The editorial staff must also be informed of the sources from which the publication has been financed. Since ghostwriting and guest authorship are manifestations of the lack of scholarly diligence, the authors of articles are requested to submit statements to the editorial staff concerning the professional and financial input of entities which have contributed to the publication. In cases of suspected or alleged misconduct, we will follow the COPE flowcharts.

Plagiarism policy

Each submission undergoes a plagiarism check using Crossref Similarity Check, powered by iThenticate, prior to the review process. Manuscripts found to contain plagiarism will be rejected.
