The content of articles can cover a wide range of topics, including problems related to algorithms, cloud computing, computer graphics, computer networks, computer systems, data science, databases, IT project management, IT systems security, software engineering and many others.

Recommendations on how to format text

• The structure of the article should correspond to universally applicable standards. In particular, the text of the article should be divided into sections and subsections;
• Mathematical formulas should be placed in the middle of the page. On the right side of the formula, at the edge of the page should be its number, placed in round brackets. In the article, references to formulas should be made by calling the formula number given in round brackets.
• Charts or photos intended for printing should be prepared in such a way that they can be adapted to the B5 paper size. Below the drawing should be placed its number along with its description.

All items from the list of bibliographic entries should be cited in the article, otherwise they will be removed from the list by the Editor.

The procedure for reviewing articles

Articles intended for Zeszyty Naukowe WWSI are subjected to a review procedure. The reviewing procedure consists of several stages:

• In the first stage, a decision is made as to whether the article can be reviewed. If the article obviously does not meet the formal requirements or its content is not consistent with the profile of the journal, the Editor decides to reject the article.
• If any of the above-mentioned deficiencies do not occur, the Editor decides to forward the article for review. The editor usually chooses one reviewer. However, in justified cases, he may decide that the article will be reviewed by two reviewers.
• The review may include one of three conclusions:
  • The article can be accepted for publication;
  • The article can be accepted for publication after considering the suggestion of the reviewer;
  • The article should be rejected.

The first and last conclusions do not require a comment. The second conclusion will result in the reviewer’s suggestions being forwarded to the authors who should make appropriate corrections.

• If two reviewers present conflicting opinions, then the Editor consults the members of the Editorial Board and then makes further decisions.
• In justified cases, the Editor may decide that the article will be accepted for publication in the journal, omitting the review. Such a decision may apply to those authors who have an impeccable reputation.
• At no stage of the reviewing procedure, the authors of the articles are not informed about who is the reviewer of their work.

Requirements for ethical standards

The editors of the Zeszyty Naukowe WWSI would like this journal to reach the highest possible publishing level. To achieve this, we strive to fulfill all diligence in the selection of articles, but also in their preparation for printing.

On the other hand, the authors should also take all possible care when preparing the texts for publication. Editors expect them to be professional and honest. In particular, in order to maintain transparency, the Editorial Board suggests:

• When the article has more than one author, at the end of the article there is information in which the authors define their contribution to its formation.
• If it is justified, sources of financing should also be provided.

Malpractice Statement

In case of suspicion that the author of the submitted article acts unfairly, the editors of the journal will take appropriate actions, adequate to the irregularities found. In extreme cases, a dishonest author can get a ban on publishing in the Zeszyty Naukowe WWSI.
