1. 1.
   The Editorial Committee accepts texts submitted in Polish or English. The author undertakes to submit an article that is based on original research and has not been published before (irrespective of the language, publication in print or online, in Poland or abroad). The work ought to be original and constitute an important contribution to research on works and collections held at the National Museum in Warsaw or associated with them as well as their history and interpretation. Texts concerning conservation-related matters and problems of contemporary museology will also be accepted.
2. 2.
   In addition to the text, the author submits an abstract, biography, keywords and a set of illustrations with captions together with acquired reproduction rights.
3. 3.
   English-language texts will be verified in terms of their linguistic correctness by a native speaker hired by the Editorial Committee. If the assessment is negative and the scope of intervention exceeds mere editorial changes, the text will be returned to the author.
4. 4.
   The submitter declares to be the author of the text; if the text was written with the participation of other persons, this has to be clearly stated. The Editorial Committee would like to inform that in the event of detecting ghostwriting, guest authorship, self-plagiarism or plagiarism, the text will be rejected and information on such cases will be documented and forwarded to the relevant bodies.
