An agreement with the author(s) and a publication agreement—both filled out and signed (by individuals authorized by the institution financing the publication or, if the publication is self-funded by the author, then by the author of the article)—in two identical copies must be sent by post to the address of the University of Białystok Publishing House (Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu w Białymstoku): Konstantego Ciołkowskiego 1M, 15-245 Białystok, with the note “Resocjalizacja Polska” on the envelope.
2. A scientific article should be 18 pages in total, including the bibliography (a standardized text in an editable Word format, using Calibri or Times New Roman, 12 pt).
3. A scientific article should be sent to the Editorial Office’s email address: polska@gmail.com

1. First and last name of the author(s)
2. Academic degree/title
3. Academic affiliation

6. Title of the article
   5. An article submitted without the previously signed and sent agreements, as well as without payment of the publication fee, will not be subject to the peer-review procedure.

Guidelines for Authors:

1. The Editorial Board accepts for publication only scientific texts—theoretical studies, research papers, review articles, reviews, reports from conferences and academic meetings, as well as chronicle-type information about scientific events (e.g., academic promotions).
2. The Editorial Board accepts texts in Polish, English, or any other congress language.
3. Authors of theoretical studies, research papers, and review articles must include abstracts in both Polish and English, each up to a maximum of half a page of typescript. The abstract for a theoretical or review article should contain the main assumptions and conclusions. The abstract for a research paper should include the primary research objectives, the methodology used, and the most important conclusions.
4. Authors must also include keywords (3–5).
5. Texts submitted to the Editorial Board undergo a formal assessment (internal editorial review) and are then reviewed by two independent reviewers (so-called double-blind peer review). The Editorial Board provides the author with reviewers’ comments and suggestions but does not share the full content of the reviews.
6. The author is required to attach signed and stamped agreements (with the author and for publication) to the article. The article and scans of the agreements should be sent by email to the Editorial Office, and the original signed agreements in two identical copies should be sent by post to the University of Bialystok Publishing House address.
