Quotations
- A source should be shown at all quotations.
- The following reference to literature can be used in the main text:
- a surname of an author of a work with the year of edition in brackets, for example [Kowalski 2011]. If a joint publication is quoted the first part of the title and the year of edition are included in brackets, for instance [Badania marketingowe… 2010],
- A general rule has to be accepted that in one book there is one way of literature citing – literature notes or a list of literature at the end of an article.
Literature
- A list of literature should be placed at the end of the whole work or at the end of the whole chapter. It is important to keep in this list a consistent, uniform notation of literature items.
- Literature items should be arranged alphabetically.
- The following elements should be placed in a description of every literature item: a surname and an initial of an author’s first name, the title of a work (in italics), the name of a publisher, a place and a year of edition.
An example- Przytuła S., Międzynarodowa kadra menedżerska, Wyd. Uniwersytetu Ekonomicznego we Wrocławiu, Wrocław 2011.
- Joint publications (i.e. at least three authors or academic editing) can be written as in examples given below.
An example- Rynek pracy województwa dolnośląskiego w latach 1999-2009, red. Z. Hasińska, K. Sipurzyńska-Rudnicka, Wyd. Uniwersytetu Ekonomicznego we Wrocławiu, Wrocław 2011.
- Hasińska Z., Sipurzyńska-Rudnicka K. (red.), Rynek pracy województwa dolnośląskiego w latach 1999-2009, Wyd. Uniwersytetu Ekonomicznego we Wrocławiu, Wrocław 2011.
An example of citing a chapter in a joint publication:
- Kaliciak Z., Bezrobotni w układzie powiatów [w:] Rynek pracy województwa dolnośląskiego w latach 1999-2009, red. Z. Hasińska, K. Sipurzyńska-Rudnicka, Wyd. Uniwersytetu Ekonomicznego we Wrocławiu, Wrocław 2011.
- In case of citing articles in journals or academic series one should give: a surname and an initial of an author’s first name, the title of an article (in italics), the title of a journal (in inverted commas) or an academic series, a year of edition, the issue of a book (or a volume).
An example
- Solarz M., Wykluczenie finansowe jako przejaw nierówności społecznych, "Nauki o Finansach" 2011, nr 2(7).
- Sus A., Strategia jako proces dynamiczny [w:] Podejście procesowe w organizacjach, red. S. Nowosielski, Prace Naukowe Uniwersytetu Ekonomicznego we Wrocławiu nr 169, Wrocław 2011.
- The titles of foreign-language works, the name of an editor and the place of edition are given in the language of an original and the elements of a description written in alphabets which are different from Latin should be given according to the rules of transliteration (in case of doubts please remember to place an original title in the margin).
Typescript
A typescript should met the following conditions:
- Word program,
- A4 format, margins: left – 2 cm., right – 3,5 cm., upper and bottom margin – both approx. 2,5 cm.,
- Times New Roman print, size: 12 points, space between lines: 1,5,
- special typeface should be avoided, pages of a typescript should be numbered.
Notes
- Notes should be placed at the bottom of the pages.
- Continuous numbering should be kept within an article or within a chapter. If there are few notes in the whole work, numbering can be used within the whole work.
- Notes can be subject or bibliographical.
- If an author quotes a work which has already been in a note, the work’s title should be replaced with an abbreviation wyd. cyt. If in bibliographical notes there is citing at least two works of the same author, the initial words of a title should be given to avoid ambiguity.
- The given order applies in notes: first name’s initial, surname, etc.
Abstracts
Abstracts in English language with key words (3-5) and abstracts in Polish language with key words (3-5) should be attached to the articles.
Tables and drawings
- Tables and drawings should be placed in the text as close to a place of citing as possible.
- A source or information “the study based on” should be placed next to every quoted table and drawing.
- Tables and drawings together with a title and a source should be inside a text column, i.e. in a column which size (after formatting) is 13 x 19 cm.
- A drawing should be prepared on a white background.
- Separate elements of a drawing can be made in the shades of greyness to make an included in it text legible.
- Times New Roman (9 points), single space, should be used for a text in a drawing.
- Drawings should be prepared in Corel, Word or Excel (with attached deta) in a form which is ready to print with a possibility to make corrections to them after editing.
- Drawings in Word should be grouped.
- In Excel charts with a large number of details a pattern filling should be used instead of colours.
Writing texts which include mathematical symbols and formulas one should always use equation processor (it also concerns notations which are included in a paragraph text, for example “variables x and x2 are then equal”).
