3. ETHICAL PRINCIPLES APPLICABLE TO THE REVIEWER

Text evaluation criteria: The reviewer assesses the compatibility of the subject matter covered with the profile of the journal, whether the title reflects the content of the article, and whether the article is an original text. The reviewer evaluates the article in terms of form (linguistic correctness, structure of the argument, correctness in the formulation of footnotes) and content (methodological correctness, completeness of the theses presented, factual correctness, timeliness of the bibliography used). The reviewer should briefly justify his assessment. The review must contain a clear conclusion including a recommendation for publication of the article.

Principle of confidentiality: The reviewer is obliged to treat the reviewed article as a confidential document. He can inform only those authorized to do so about it. The review procedure is done anonymously, which means that the author and reviewers do not know each other's identity (double blind review).

The principle of objectivity: The reviewer pays attention only to the merits of the publication. He does not judge or criticize the author. In the review he tries to be objective. He presents the evaluation of the article with clear arguments.

All information and scientific concepts obtained as a result of the review procedure may not be used for the personal benefit of the reviewer. The reviewer may not be a person directly involved in the creation of the publication.

REVIEW PROCEDURE

The review procedure used in the journal "Studies in Theological Sciences" is in accordance with the recommendations of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education contained in the publication Good practices in review procedures in science, Warsaw 2011 and the Announcement of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of June 2, 2015 on the criteria and procedure for evaluating scientific journals.

Before agreeing to write a review, the reviewer should familiarize himself/herself with the PRINCIPLES OF ETHICS FOR REVIEWERS: https://journals.pan.pl/snt → PRINCIPLES OF PUBLICATION ETHICS.

Upon receipt of an article destined for the ARTICLES or VARIA sections, the Editorial Board performs a preliminary evaluation of the text submitted by the author, leading to a decision to accept it for further processing (or reject it). The author may also be asked to fill in missing data in his submission. After the decision to pre-qualify the submitted article, the Editorial Board initiates the review procedure, sending the text to two independent reviewers, of which it immediately notifies the author.

The list of reviewers is not fixed, but the Editor appoints them depending on the subject matter of the texts sent. As a result, the reviewers are experts on the subject of the submitted text. The review process is anonymous, the reviewer and the author of the article do not know each other's identities (the so-called double blind review).

Accepting the text for review, the reviewer undertakes to complete it by the specified deadline. After reviewing the text of the submitted article, the reviewer fills out a review form, assessing the article both from the formal (structure, language, style, footnotes) and substantive (correctness of the argumentation, originality and completeness of the thesis) side.

The reviewer should justify his assessment and make any recommendations to the author. The review should contain a clear conclusion in the form of a recommendation to accept, reject or send the text back to the author for corrections and additions. Two reviews with a negative recommendation lead to rejection of the article. In the case of significant discrepancies in the recommendations of the first two reviewers, the Editor refers the text to a third reviewer, whose recommendation is decisive for the further fate of the article.

On the basis of the review, the Editorial Board decides whether to finally accept the article for publication, reject it or send it back to the author for corrections. The Editorial Board immediately informs the author of the decision, giving him the opportunity to read the review texts as well. To the more serious comments of reviewers, the author of the article should respond in detail. All comments of reviewers should be taken into account in the correction of the work. Correspondence between the author and reviewers is carried out through the Editor.

In consultation with the author, the Editorial Board performs stylistic proofreading of the text of the accepted article, with the aim of eventually producing a version of the text ready for publication.

The materials contained in the REVIEWS AND REVIEWS section are not strictly scientific articles and therefore, as a rule, are not subject to the evaluation of external reviewers, although they may be referred to them. The decision to publish or reject them is made by the Editorial Board.

ANTI-PLAGIARISM POLICY

Anti-plagiarism system: Plagiarism is an infringement of personal copyright by appropriating all or part of another's work and publishing it under one's own name. Copying one's own work to expand one's academic output constitutes self-plagiarism. Plagiarism is a criminal act.

If plagiarism is detected, the editors will inform the institution where the author is affiliated, the reviewers and the affected persons of the case.In addition, the editors will post information on this issue on the journal's website and/or in the printed version.

In order to prevent plagiarism, the Editorial Board of the journal "Studies in Theological Sciences" uses iThenticate software belonging to Turnitin, a global provider of technology services for science and education. The system allows checking the alleged similarity of a text with billions of online sources and texts deposited by publishers using Similarity Check.

Research data: The editors do not collect research data, and submission of a research data management plan is not a requirement for publication of an article. By research data, the editors mean recorded material of a factual nature (in numerical, textual, graphical or audio form) that is generally recognized by the scientific community as necessary for evaluating the results of scientific research. Under certain circumstances, however, authors may be asked to provide research data, even after the article has been published.
