About the Journal

Aims and Scope

The mission of the journal "Folia Historica Cracoviensia" is to present and disseminate research results in the field of history, archaeology, art sciences, ethnology and cultural anthropology. The journal is to be a forum for the exchange of views and experiences for researchers of these disciplines and other disciplines in the field of humanities and social sciences.
The specific mission of the journal is to promote research on Central and Eastern Europe, in particular related to historical Małopolska and Kraków, including - which was one of the reasons for its establishment - the history of the Kraków Church, its relations with other metropolises and entities of social life. The scientific findings published in the journal are addressed to domestic and foreign researchers dealing with the social, political and cultural issues of the region, its role and mutual interactions with the East and West of Europe.

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.
