Submission guidelines
The themes of the forthcoming volumes of Ethos can be found on the back cover of every volume and on the journal’s website. Submissions are subject to double-blind peer review by two independent and external referees [please click here] and to editorial revisions. One of the referees will represent an academic milieu from outside Poland, non-related to that of the author; the other will be a Polish scholar. In order to facilitate double-blind peer review process, authors are requested to eliminate all references that might identify them.
The editors reserve the right to decide whether a received manuscript will be considered for publication.

An article should be followed by a bibliography comprising a full list of the references, an abstract (up to 1,800 characters), and keywords.
