Author Guidelines

The scholarly journal Folia Historica Cracoviensia, published twice a year, accepts submissions in archaeology, ethnology and cultural anthropology, history, art studies, and related disciplines. It also publishes essays, reviews, and polemical contributions. All submissions must comply with the requirements set out in the “Submission Preparation Checklist” section.

Submitting a manuscript constitutes:

  • acceptance of the Ethical Standards followed by the Editorial Team;
  • a declaration that the author is aware of the legal and ethical consequences of making false statements and acknowledgement that the Editorial Team reserves the right to verify the originality of the submitted manuscript and, if a breach of publication ethics is identified, to initiate the appropriate procedures (see Ethical Standards);
  • a declaration that the author has read and accepts the privacy rules applied by the Editorial Team and the Publisher (see Privacy Policy).

Manuscript format

Articles published in the Commentationes et dissertationes section must not exceed one publisher’s sheet (40,000 characters, including footnotes and spaces).

The length of a review article or polemical contribution must not exceed 25,000 characters, including footnotes and spaces.

Manuscripts must be saved in one of the following file formats: .rtf, .docx, .doc, or .odt. Files in other formats will not be accepted. The file name should include the author’s surname and the opening words of the title, separated by underscores, e.g. Kowalski_Historia_medycyny.doc. Before the manuscript is sent for peer review, the file will be anonymised and labelled with the submission number.

The main text should use the “Body Text” paragraph style, the manuscript title — the “Heading 1” style, and the titles of sections and subsections — the “Heading 2” and “Heading 3” styles, respectively.

Metadata must be entered in the form on the journal’s OJS platform. A separate file must also be attached to the submission containing:

  • the full name or names of the author or authors;
  • the author’s ORCID iD and affiliation, including the relevant ROR ID;
  • the title of the manuscript;
  • contact details (email address and telephone number);
  • a short biographical note following this structure: full name, academic degree, research interests, and most recent or most significant publications (up to 400 characters including spaces);
  • an abstract in the original language and in English. The abstract should be written in an impersonal style and include a general overview of the subject matter, the research methodology adopted, and the principal arguments (up to 1,000 characters including spaces);
  • for a review article — an abstract containing only the bibliographic details of the book under review;
  • keywords in the original language and in English (5–7 keywords).

A bibliography of cited works must be included at the end of the manuscript.

Illustrations must be supplied as separate files, with their intended placement indicated in the manuscript.
