The title page
The title page should only contain the title without the author's name, and then the text should be formatted according to the rules.
A separate sheet of paper should include a) the author's name, surname and ORCID, b) the full name and address of the institution, c) the telephone, fax, and e-mail addresses, d) the annotation that the article has not been published before and is in accordance with our anti-ghostwriting policy (with signature), e) information about financial support for the preparation of the article (grants or other sponsorships). If there are several authors you are asked to indicate the main author responsible for correspondence. If the main author has not been indicated, the first listed will play that role.

The main text
The manuscript should be typed in a word processor (doc and rtf files accepted), in A4 format with standard margins and spacing for Times New Roman size 12 font. The article must be divided into the following sections: introduction (background), material and research methods, results, conclusions, references. The entire article (with the abstract, the table of contents, main text, references, notes and acknowledgements) should not exceed 30,000 characters with spaces. Include all illustrations in separate *.tif or *.cdr files.
The article should be preceded by an abstract of I00-150 words and four to seven keywords, for instance: migration, urbanisation, industrialisation, etc.
Tables and figures should be places at the end of the manuscript and the authors should clearly indicate where they should fit in the text.
Do not use footnotes. If necessary number them in the text (1), (2), and insert the Notes section on the last page just before the References. You may include Acknowledgements below Notes.
Each author's contribution to the article should be noted: C - research concept , D - data collection and statistical analysis , F - figures and tables creation, P - photography, M - manuscript preparation, R - references section.
The articles are accepted in good English only. General rules for text writing and editing of the American Psychological Association apply, APA Style. Prior to publication all accepted articles must be approved by the Committee for Language Consultation (including native speakers) and if need be corrected texts should be submitted to the editors again. The spelling should follow the Oxford English Dictionary or PWN-Oxford English-Polish Dictionary.

Tables, figures, illustrations, and photographs
The tables should be numbered using Arabic numbers, and the title must be placed above the table. If footnotes are needed, the authors should mark them with letters a, b, c, etc., and place them below the tables. Footnotes, symbols, sources, etc., should be written under the tables in Times New Roman font, size 8, and in italics.
The figures should be marked as 'Fig.', and such an expression must be used in the text. They should be numbered using Arabic numbers. The illustrations should be of such quality that the editor would not have to correct that (computer generated - CorelDRAW or equivalent): 300 dpi and above 300 resolution. Uncompressed images, e.g. *.tif or *.cdr format, are preferred. Do not merge illustrations with the text as word processors deteriorate images to less than 200 dpi. Should you e-mail the article, make sure you provide all illustrations in separate files.
Authors should place the title of the illustration below the illustration with the symbols and the source, etc., all written in size 8 font, in italics.

The text should quote the authors, the year of publication and the page (if it is a citation), e.g. (Jerczyñski, 1977: 35), and the full credits should be included in the References at the end of the main text. Should the same author and year re-occur, the letters a, b, c, etc., must be added.
