Goals and Accomplishments
Our main goal was to maintain schedule and publish every issue till end of last
month of quarter and collaborate with authors affiliated in institutions around
Poland. The second, was part of obtaining minimal recognition in polish
scientific society.
We managed to publish issues on regular basis and our journal obtain some
recognition at least within young fellow researchers.
Though Working Paper section was meant to last for two starter years we plan
to sustain it for next year, as Ph.D. candidates are willing to participate in
project and published works that require yet some amendments, but are good
debate starting points.
Changes in Editorial Staff
Changes in editorial staff in 2015 are expected. Some of our associated editors
will probably be replaced. Main goal will be to find language editors to
cooperate with journal on regular basis – especially with coming of Research
Paper section.
