The author signs a declaration stating that the article is original, does not infringe the copyright of others and has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere.

Manuscripts

1. Manuscripts should be submitted to the secretaries of the Editorial Committees. Two hard copies along with an electronic version on CD, all written in Times New Roman in Microsoft Word, should be submitted.

2. Text sent on CD should be identical in content to the hard copy of the manuscript.3. The length of articles printed in the “Cracow Review of Economics and Management” should not

exceed 1.0 standard unit of text length (40,000 characters including spaces).4. The manuscript should use the following parameters:

1. A4 paper, printed on one side, 2. Margins: left – 25 mm, right – 35 mm, 3. Top and bottom margins – 25 mm 4. Font size: main body of text – 12 point, 5. Footnotes and bibliography – 10 point, 6. Line spacing – 1.5.

5. The title page should include the author’s name and surname, affiliation, the title of the work, and the subtitle if there is one.

6. Typewritten pages should be numbered consecutively.

References and bibliography

1. References to literature are done in the “author–year format”. This system requires that, after reference to a publication of another author is made, the name of the author and year his or her work was published be provided in the main body of the text. However, how this information is provided depends on the context of the sentence. For example,

Z. Grabias [1994] relates the concept of the discourse to a definition of social interaction.This is reflected by, for instance, placing research declaratively above written text in the context of discourse analysis [de Beaugrande 1985].

2. If a publication has two authors, both names should be given and linked using the conjunction and; for example: [Smith and Smith 1996]. When there are three authors, the conjunction and should be placed in front of the last name, eg: [Malinowski, Smith and Smith 1996].

3. If there are more than three authors, the surname of each should be provided in a separate bibliography; however, when quoting such authors’ work, only the surname of the first author should be provided, in brackets, along with the abbreviation et al.

4. When referring to a joint publication whose cover and title page indicate the name of the scientific editor (and not the names of the authors of the individual parts of the work), the main body of the text should include the title or a shortened version and year of publication, not the surname of the editor; for example: [Innovative Economy… 2013]. The publication should be listed in the bibliography by the title while the surname of the editor follows the year of publication, eg. Innovative Economy as the Object of Investigation in Theoretical Economics [2013], ed. by A. Malawski. See point 10 for other aspects of describing a publication in the bibliography.

5. When several publications by one author are cited, published in the same year, consecutive lowercase letters should be added (without spaces) after the date, eg. [Nowak 1991a, 1991b, 1991c]. These denotations should also be used in the bibliography.

6. Bibliographical information of a cited publication should be enclosed in square brackets. The page number should be included after the year, ie [Kowalski 1984, p. 25].

7. Bibliographical information for multiple authors cited at once should be separated by commas, ie [Kowalski 1984, Nowak 1986], or, where page numbers are cited, by semi-colons, ie [Kowalski 1984, p. 153; Nowak 1986, p. 15].

8. A bibliography should be attached at the end of the paper.

9. The bibliography should include all cited work; it should not include work to which the author does not refer in the text.

10. The literature entries should be ordered alphabetically by author surname (with the exception of collective works in which the first element in the bibliographical entry is the title, and not the name of scientific editor – see point 4), and works by a single author should be entered according to the years of publication (from earliest to most recent). Bibliographic information should be included from the cited material.

Each entry should include:– the surname and first letter of the name of the author or authors – the year the piece was published in square brackets – the title of the work (in italics) and – if there is one – a subtitle, separated by a full-stop – Arabic numerals indicating the order of publication, ie 2 ed., wyd. 2, 3 Aufl.– the name of the publisher– the place of publication.

Examples:

Stiglitz J. E. [2000], Economics of the Public Sector, 3 ed., W. W. Norton, New York.Salamaga M. [2013], A Comparative Analysis of the Regional Development of the Visegrad Group Countries [in:] Quantitative Methods for the Analysis of the Economic and Social Consequences of Transition Processes in Central-East European Countries, ed. by J. Pociecha, Cracow University of Economics Press, Cracow.

Where publications from journals are cited, the following should be included:– the surname and first letter of the author’s name– the year of publication set off in square brackets– the title of the article (in italics)– the title of the journal (in quotations marks)– the volume, edition or issue number, preceded by an abbreviated designation taken from the

journal,– if an article has a DOI number, please include it, following the address http://dx.doi.org/

Examples:

Saltelli A. [2002], Sensitivity Analysis for Importance Assessment, “Risk Analysis”, Vol. 22, No. 3.Stachura M. [2004], Z zachodniego na nasz, “Gazeta Wyborcza”, February 10th.Chang E.J., Lima E.J.A., Tabak B.M. [2004], Testing for Predictability in Emerging Equity Markets, „Emerging Markets Review”, vol. 5, iss. 3, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ememar.2004.03.005.

Where online publications are referenced, the internet address where the text was first published should be provided, along with the date of access in brackets and preceded by the word “access”.

11. Individual items of literature should not be numbered.

12. For foreign work, titles, publisher names, and place of publication should be written in the original language, and elements expressed in any non-latin alphabet should observe the rules of transliteration.

13. Notes should take the form of footnotes, with continuous numbering throughout the article.

Citations

Each citation should contain the bibliographical information in the “author–year format”. Short quotes may be incorporated in the main text and put in quotation marks, while larger quotes (at least several lines), should be set apart from the main text by smaller font.

Tables 1.Full-page tables should be sent as a separate file, while smaller ones can be placed directly in the

text of the article. Tables should be done in Word or Excel. Other programmes may be used provided they are saved in one of these formats: doc, docx, xls, xlsx, rtf, txt.

2. Tables should not be done with raster graphics programmes such as Photoshop.3. At the foot of every table should be written the source or whether it was done by the author or on

the basis of another author’s work.4. Notes accompanying tables should be placed directly beneath them.5. Boxes should not be left blank. Where there is a lack of data, use the following characters:– a dash (–) if a phenomenon does not occur; – zero (0) if a phenomenon exists, but in amounts smaller than the numbers that can be shown in the table

expressed in digits. For example, if production is expressed in thousands of tonnes, a 0 means that production in a given case does not reach 0.5 thousand tonnes;

– dot (.) – data not available or not reliable;– x – the layout of the table makes filling the boxes in the table impossible or impracticable.– “Including” means that not all of the elements of the total are given.

Drawings, diagrammes, and graphs

1. The source should be provided for all drawings, diagrammes and graphs.2. Illustrations, diagrammes, and graphs created in MS Word should be done using the graphs

option in that programme.3. Illustrations, diagrammes, and graphs included in an article, which were created using another

programme, should be additionally saved or exported to vector format (pdf, ai, eps, ps, xls), or saved as metadata. They should be attached to other materials to be sent to the publisher in a separate folder. We recommend using Excel, Statistica, Pajek, UCI net to create graphics.

4. Only still images and screen shots should be saved using Raster formats (psd, tif, jpg).5. The recommended format for figures and tables is: 12.4 cm x 16 cm, while the font size should

be 9 point.

Mathematical Formulae

Articles with a large number of formulae should be prepared as follows:– single-level ones should be typed out using the keyboard,– complex, multi-level formulae should be embedded using a formula editor, for example

MathType.

Abstracts

Please attach an abstract in English and Polish (each of up to 1000 words) and 4–6 key words, also in both languages. Both should be done on a separate sheet of paper, along with the author’s name and surname and the title of the article. An abstract to be read separately from the article or other work should inform readers of the content of the work, including a description of the object of the research, a summary of the method used, and the most important results and conclusions.
