ANNOTATIONS

  1. Sztabiński, Profesjonalizacja wolności. Swoboda artysty w sztuce współczesnej, „Estetyka I Krytyka”, no 17/18 [2/2002-1/2010], pp. 24-25

In-text references:

  1. Foster (1999 p. 131) claims, that: „........”

 

For publications by two authors, both surnames are given and  separated by a comma or a conjunction “and” or ampersand “&”, for example.:

(Pioterek P., Zieleniecka B., 2000, p. 31)

For publications by three and more authors, record the first author followed by et al., e.g.

(Żmigrodzki Z et al., 2007, pp. 23-25)

 

When referring to a few works written by the same author that were published in the same year, in order to distinguish them a lower-case letter “a”, “b” etc. is added after the publication year, e.g.

(Maj M., 1999a, p. 2)

(Maj M., 1999b, p. 14)

(Maj M., 1999c, p. 1)

In the above case it is important to remember to allocate letters after the year on the reference list.

For example.:

  1. Maj M., 1999a, Biblioteki, SBP, Warszawa, p. 250
  2. Maj M., 1999b, Infobroker, Zagadnienia Informacji Naukowej, no. 14, p. 13-24

ARTIFICIAL IINTELLIGENCE POLICY: 

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools (e.g., Large Language Models – LLMs, such as ChatGPT) do not meet the criteria for authorship and cannot be listed as an author or co-author of a manuscript.

  • Authors bear full responsibility for the content of their manuscript, including the accuracy of data and the absence of plagiarism, including any sections prepared with the assistance of AI.

  • If AI tools were utilized in the research process or during the writing of the manuscript (with the exception of basic spelling and grammar correction), authors are required to declare it. This information (specifying the name of the tool and the purpose of its use) must be stated within the text of the manuscript (e.g., in the Acknowledgments section).
