Manuscript processing

The manuscripts are sent together with the required statements and declarations through the ICI Publishers Panel system. The manuscripts should conform to the guidelines and requirements specified on the Psychology of Family and Education website.
The first step of manuscript processing involves the verification of the manuscript’s topic, form, and content by the Editorial Board and the Academic Editorial Board the manuscript can be rejected or returned to the authors for corrections if it does not meet the journal’s guidelines and requirements.
After a positive initial verification, the manuscript is sent for reviews.
The manuscripts are subjected to double-blind peer review by at least two experts outside of the authors’ affiliation, in accordance with the Best Practices in Academic Review (2011) published by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Poland. The reviewers are not allowed to use the content of the reviewed manuscripts in their own publications or teaching material prior to their publication. The reviewers make one of the following decisions regarding the manuscript: acceptance without revisions, acceptance after revisions, acceptance after revisions and additional review, or rejection.
The authors are notified of the reviewers’ decisions and receive copies of the reviews. Next, they revise their manuscript according to the reviewers’ feedback and prepare a letter of response, addressing each of the reviewers’ remarks. Manuscripts can be sent to reviews more than once. The Editorial Board reserves the right to withdraw manuscripts in cases where the authors do not respond to the reviewers’ feedback without appropriate explanation. In cases of substantial discrepancy between the reviews, a super-reviewer is appointed. Positive reviews are required for manuscript publication.
After the manuscript is accepted, it undergoes in-house proofreading. The Editorial Board reserves the right to make linguistic changes to the contents of the manuscript.
The total manuscript processing time depends on the scientific level it represents, its topic, the reviewers’ availability, and their decisions. It usually takes between 90 and 120 days from submission to online publication. Articles are organized within issues based on their order of acceptance for publication.
The editorial office does not charge any fees for publishing the texts.
