DUTIES OF EDITORS
Publication decisions: Editorial board consists of one literary scholar, one linguist and a secretary. The appropriate editor representing the chosen discipline (literature studies or linguistics) decides if the submitted article qualifies for publication. The decision to accept an article for publication or reject it is based on its importance, quality and its relevance to the scope of the journal. The final decision about the acceptance of an article depends on positive decisions of two independent, anonymous reviews by the reviewers, who do not know the author (double-blind review process). The editor strives to select the reviewers in a way that their research scope is compatible with the topic addressed in the article. In case of one negative review the editorial board asks other members of the Academic Advisory Council of the Journal (in accordance with the scholarly discipline they represent and the article concerns) for opinion and decides either to accept the article, to appoint a new reviewer or to reject the article, and informs the author(s) about the decision.
Transparency of the editorial process: The whole editorial process is conducted transparently with the use of the electronic support system of Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Szczecińskiego (University of Szczecin Publishing House). After the submission of an article on the website of the journal COLLOQUIA GERMANICA STETINENSIA via the menu option “Suggest Article” the system automatically notifies the appropriate editor about it and the author is subsequently informed by the system about the following stages of editorial work, i.e. about the acceptance or rejection of the article by the editor, arrival of the review, the necessity of corrections in accordance with the review, as well as, after language correction, about sending the article to publication. The articles in the issues of COLLOQUIA GERMANICA STETINENSIA are primarily published in printed form and the author receives one author’s copy. Subsequently all articles in a volume are published electronically on the website of the journal COLLOQUIA GERMANICA STETINENSIA and are made available in electronic databases in which the journal is indexed.
Monitoring the ethical standards: Editorial board is monitoring the ethical standards of scientific publications and takes all possible measures against any publication malpractices.
Confidentiality: Editorial boards will make sure that all materials submitted to the Journal remain confidential during the whole editorial process. Editorial board is not permitted to disclose any information about the submitted manuscript to any persons besides the author(s), reviewers, potential reviewers, Academic Advisory Council and the publisher. Unpublished materials cannot be used by the editorial board and the members of the Academic Advisory Council in their own research without a written consent of the author(s).
Maintaining the integrity of the academic record: The editors will guard the integrity of the published academic record by issuing corrections and retractions when needed in case of allegations of research and publication misconduct. Plagiarism and fraudulent data are unacceptable.
Retractions of the articles: Journal’s editors will consider retracting a publication if the findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper cross-referencing, permission or justification or the article constitutes plagiarism. Retracted articles will not be removed from printed copies of the journal nor from electronic archives but their retracted status will be indicated as clearly as possible.
DUTIES OF THE ACADEMIC ADVISORY COUNCIL
Composition: The Academic Advisory Council of the journal COLLOQUIA GERMANICA STETINENSIA is composed of acknowledged researchers from various academic institutions from various countries, who are academic authorities in the field of one of the two basic scholarly disciplines pertinent to the topics of the articles published in the journal COLLOQUIA GERMANICA STETINENSIA, i.e. literature studies or linguistics of German-language countries.
Function: the members of the Academic Advisory Council of the journal COLLOQUIA GERMANICA STETINENSIA act in an advisory capacity of the editorial board with respect to various issues concerning the functioning of the Journal and the strategy of its further development, as well as better promotion of the Journal among Polish and international German philologists. Moreover, the members help the editorial board to make decisions concerning accepting for publication or rejecting an article which obtained two mutually exclusive reviews. In such cases the editors turn to selected members of the Academic Advisory Council having scholarly expertise in the same or similar field as the one pertinent to the article, and ask them for opinion.
Confidentiality: The members of the Academic Advisory Council of the journal COLLOQUIA GERMANICA STETINENSIA shall not reveal any information about the authors, manuscripts and their reviews to any persons besides the editors and the publisher. The unpublished materials must not be used by the members of the Academic Advisory Council in their own research without a written permission of the author(s).
