Publishing House of FOM UW 

The Scientific Publishing House of the Faculty of Management at the University of Warsaw was established in 2003 and has been operating under the name Publishing Section of the Faculty of Management since 2020.

We publish scientific journals in the disciplines of management and quality sciences, economics and finance, as well as legal sciences (including antimonopoly and regulatory law). These journals are present in prestigious indexing databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, DOAJ, and others. All articles in their full-text versions are published in open access.

The Publishing Section of the Faculty of Management also releases academic textbooks, scientific monographs (including books based on doctoral theses and habilitation theses), and conference materials. The authors of these publications are mainly employees of the Faculty of Management at the University of Warsaw. Similar to our journal publications, we apply an open access policy for the majority of our monographs from the beginning, and textbooks are made available in open access after a certain period of traditional paper distribution.

For all proposed publishing projects, we adhere to established review procedures and publishing ethics principles in accordance with the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Since 2021, under a signed agreement, all our scientific monographs and textbooks are published in collaboration with the University of Warsaw Press (Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego – WUW).

We warmly invite you to explore our offer which is published on the official website of our publishing section.

Ethical Principles 

Ethical Principles

The Scientific Publishing House of the Faculty of Management at the University of Warsaw strives to maintain ethical standards in scientific publications and takes all possible steps against neglect of these standards. Papers submitted for publication are evaluated for accuracy, compliance with ethical requirements, and suitability for science.

The Scientific Publishing House of the Faculty of Management at the University of Warsaw is a member of COPE. The following principles are based on COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

Authors’ Responsibilities

Authorship of the Work
Authorship should be limited to individuals who have significantly contributed to the idea, project, execution, or interpretation of the work. All persons who have participated in the creation of the work should be listed as co-authors. In the case of other individuals who have influenced certain significant aspects of the scientific article, they should be mentioned or presented as collaborators. The author should ensure that all co-authors are listed in the work, have seen and accepted the final version, and have agreed to submit it for publication.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
The author should disclose all sources of funding for projects in their work, the contribution of scientific and research institutions, associations, and other entities, and any significant conflicts of interest that may affect its results or interpretation.

Standards for Presenting Research Reports
The author of a text based on their own research should provide an accurate account of the work done and objectively discuss its significance. Data forming the basis of the work should be accurately presented in it. The work should contain sufficient details and sources to enable the replication of the research conducted. Statements that are untrue or knowingly inaccurate are considered unethical and prohibited.

Access to Data and Data Maintenance
The author should be prepared to provide access to the data used in the work submitted for review. They should also keep this data for one year from the date of publication.

Multiple, Redundant, or Competitive Publications
As a rule, the author should not publish materials describing the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same work to more than one journal simultaneously is considered unethical and is not allowed.

Confirmation of Sources
The author should cite publications that have influenced the creation of the work and must confirm the use of the work of other authors each time.

Substantial Errors in Published Works
If an author discovers a substantial error or inaccuracy in their work, they have an obligation to promptly notify the Editor-in-Chief.

Originality and Plagiarism
The author submits only an original work to the editor. They should ensure that the names of authors cited in the work and/or excerpts from cited works are correctly quoted or listed.

Ghostwriting
Ghostwriting/guest authorship is a manifestation of scientific unreliability, and any detected cases will be exposed, including notifying the relevant authorities. Manifestations of scientific unreliability, especially violations of ethical principles in science, will be documented by the editorial office.

Editor-in-Chief’s Responsibilities

Publication Decisions
The Editor-in-Chief is obligated to comply with the current legal status regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism and is responsible for decisions that should be published from the submitted works.

Confidentiality
Employees of the Publishing House are not allowed to disclose information about the submitted work to anyone other than, according to the publishing procedure, its author, reviewers, and potential reviewers.

Non-Discrimination
In the fight against discrimination, the Publishing House adheres to the Constitution and the applicable law in the Republic of Poland.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
Unpublished works or their fragments cannot be used in the research of employees of the Publishing House or reviewers without the explicit written consent of the author.

Reviewers’ Responsibilities

Editorial Decisions
The reviewer supports the Editor-in-Chief in making editorial decisions and may also support the author in improving the work.

Feedback
Every selected reviewer who cannot review the work or knows that a quick review will not be possible should inform the Editor-in-Chief about it.Standards of Objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is considered inappropriate. Reviewers should clearly express their views, supporting them with appropriate arguments.

Confidentiality
All reviewed papers must be treated as confidential documents. They cannot be shown or discussed with anyone other than authorized persons.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
Confidential information or ideas arising from the review must be kept confidential and cannot be used for personal gain. Reviewers should not review works where there is a conflict of interest arising from a relationship with the author, company, or institution associated with the work.

Confirmation of Sources
Reviewers should indicate publications that the author of the work has not cited. Any statement that an observation, source, or argument has been discussed previously should be supported by an appropriate citation. Reviewers should also inform the Editor-in-Chief of any significant similarities, partial overlap of the content of the reviewed work with any other published and known work, or suspicion of plagiarism.

Reviewing Procedure

All papers submitted to the Scientific Publishing House of the Faculty of Management at the University of Warsaw undergo an initial assessment by the Editor-in-Chief.

Papers positively reviewed are sent to two independent reviewers (experts in the field) appointed by the Editor-in-Chief.

The review takes the form of a written document and ends with the reviewer’s recommendation for rejection or acceptance for publication.

After receiving the reviews, the Editor-in-Chief informs the Authors in detail about the reviewers’ comments on the work and the final decision regarding publication.

Qualification criteria: originality of the applied research method and the topic; accuracy of presenting previous research; quality of own research (if applicable); relevance of research/theoretical considerations; substantive, methodological correctness, and reasoning; contribution of the work to the development of the discipline; selection of literature.

Citation Principles in the text

  • Single-author work: Always provide the author’s last name and the publication date (regardless of how many times the work is cited); when citing more than one work by the same author published in the same year, add consecutive letters of the alphabet to the date (this rule also applies to other types of publications listed below), e.g., (Kowalski, 2001); (Kowalski, 2001a).
  • Work by two authors: Always provide the last names of both authors and the publication date (regardless of how many times the work is cited); the last names of authors should always be connected by the conjunction “and,” even in the case of a foreign-language publication, e.g., (Kowalski and Nowak, 2001); (Kowalski and Nowak, 2001a).
  • Work by 3 – 5 authors: For the first time, list the last names of all authors, separating them with commas and inserting the conjunction “and” between the last two names; subsequently, list the first author’s last name and use the abbreviation “et al.,” e.g., first time: (Kowalski, Nowak, and Wiśniewski, 2001); (Kowalski, Nowak, and Wiśniewski 2001a); then: (Kowalski et al., 2001); (Kowalski et al., 2001a).
  • Work by 6 or more authors: List only the last name of the first author (both the first time and in subsequent citations), replace the other authors with the abbreviation “et al.”; in the bibliography, include the last names of all authors of the work, e.g., (Kowalski et al., 2001); (Kowalski et al., 2001a).
  • Citing several works simultaneously: List publications alphabetically (by the first author’s last name); separate several works by the same author with commas; individual publications by different authors must be separated by semicolons, e.g., (Kowalski, 2001; Nowak and Kowalski, 2002); (Kowalski, 2001, 2002a; Nowak and Kowalski, 2002).
  • Citing under another author: Include only in the text; include only the work read in the bibliography; separate works with a semicolon, e.g., (Kowalski, 2001; cited in: Nowak 2002).

Citations in the Text: Always place in quotation marks and provide the author/authors, the year of publication of the work, and the page number; they should have the following form: (author/authors, year of publication, page number), e.g., (Kowalski, 2000, p. 67) or (Kowalski and Nowak, 2001, p. 3), or (Kowalski, Nowak, and Wiśniewski, 2001a, p. 3).
