Peer Review Statement

“Wieś i Rolnictwo” accepts only manuscripts that have not been published before and are not under consideration for publication anywhere else. The following types of paper may be submitted for publication: original dissertations and research papers, reviews of scientific monographs and collective works, as well as reports from conferences and other scientific events.

All manuscripts submitted are subject to an initial appraisal by the Editor in Chief, and, if found suitable for further consideration, are sent to reviewers. Each manuscript is anonymously reviewed by two independent reviewers chosen from outside the authors’ affiliate institution. Texts in a foreign language are reviewed by at least one reviewer affiliated with a foreign institution other than that affiliated by the author. The texts of articles are reviewed according to double-blind peer-review principles, which means that authors and reviewers do not know their identities.

In order to ensure the anonymity of the review process, the author cannot place any information in the text that could be used to identify them.
Similarly, the anonymity of reviewers is ensured in the reviews submitted to the author.

Each manuscript is reviewed by two reviewers, selected from among specialists in the issues discussed in the text. The review procedure is done according to generally applicable rules, based on the PDF form.

Each review contains a clear indication whether the text is recommended (or not) for publication in “Wieś i Rolnictwo”. The basic criteria for the evaluation of an article are: compliance of the topic with the journal’s profile, correctness of the title formulation, originality and timeliness of the problem, substantive value, methodological assumptions of the article, scope of the literature used, logical organisation and language of the text.

The list of reviewers is published on the website of the quarterly and in the 4th issue for each calendar year.
