About the Podhale Yearbook

The Podhale Yearbook is a scholarly periodical that has been published since 1921 by the Tatra Museum in Zakopane. As we can read in the second issue of the Yearbook (1979), the idea of publishing the first issue was undertaken a few years before the outbreak of the First World War by the outstanding researcher and ethnographer, Bronisław Piłsudski. Until the outbreak of the war, a lot of valuable ethnographic material was collected, most of which was to be included in the contents of the journal. As the outbreak of the First World War prevented its publication, the first issue was not published until 1921, mainly thanks to the efforts of the ethnographer and linguist Juliusz Zborowski, who later became the director of the Tatra Museum for many years. The dream of the first publishers was to publish the periodical annually, but unfortunately this intention was unsuccessful; the second issue of the journal appeared some 58 years later, in 1979.

The original aim of the publishing house was to publish scholarly research dealing with the history of the spiritual and material culture of the entire Polish Tatra region, i.e. the Podhale, Spisz, Orawa and Pieniny regions. As we can read in the second issue of the Podhale Yearbook, the periodical was intended to initiate, encourage and popularize this research. With time and with subsequent issues, the scope of the journal expanded to include issues related to architecture and natural history.

Currently, the editorial board aims to publish a periodical specializing in the cultural and natural heritage of the Carpathians, with particular emphasis on the Tatra Mountains and the Tatra region. We want to disseminate knowledge in this area through the results of academic research, the publication of reviews and reports from academic conferences and the research activities of organizations and associations from the Carpathian area.

The Podhale Yearbook - Reviewing procedure

In order to evaluate the publication sent to our editorial office, at least two independent reviewers from outside the research unit affiliated by the author are appointed. In the case of texts written in a foreign language, at least one of the reviewers is appointed from a foreign institution other than the nationality of the author of the work. The reviewer selected by the editor signs a declaration that there is no conflict of interest between the reviewer and the author. The written review contains an unambiguous conclusion regarding the conditions of the article’s approval or rejection (see the review form). The names of the reviewers of individual volumes are published once a year on the website and in the paper version in the editorial footnote of the Podhale Yearbook. If the publication is accepted for publication, the author should make corrections within two weeks and send the paper back to the editor by e-mail. It is the author’s responsibility to respond to all comments of the reviewers. After typesetting and before printing, the article is sent back to the author. On the submitted pdf file, the author has the opportunity to correct minor errors such as typos or mistakes in proper names within a week.

To ensure the scientific reliability of the published materials, the Editorial Board selects the submitted texts in accordance with the principles of “ghostwriting” and “guest authorship”. Authors of published articles and other materials are required to sign a copyright transfer agreement, which includes the principles of “ghostwriting” and “guest authorship”.

A contract is sent to the author after receiving positive reviews and the editors deciding to publish the text. This constitutes the legal basis for publication. In addition, authors are required to clearly, transparently and honestly certify that they are the sole authors of the texts sent for printing. If the article was created with the cooperation of other people, the authors are obliged to disclose their participation as authors or co-authors of the text or to mention them in the acknowledgments included in the article, stating their affiliation and contribution. It is also forbidden to publish in the periodical any texts that have already been published in other journals.
