Licensing Terms
Articles published in the Krzysztofory are available to readers under a Creative Commons licence: Attribution – Non-commercial use – No derivative works (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).

Sharing & Repository Policy
1. The Website of the Journal
1.1. The journal’s website is the primary place for publishing full-text electronic versions of works understood as the Version for Record, published after 2023.
1.2. The website uses RSS feeds to which metadata about new publications is transferred.
2. Digital Identifiers
2.1. All electronic versions of academic publications are assigned a DOI. The identifiers are finally attached when the publication process is completed, but no later than 14 days from the date of publishing.
2.2. When submitting a manuscript, Authors are asked to provide their ORCID, if they have one. The active identifier is placed directly on the website of their work on the Platform.
2.3. In case of the wish to use identifiers other than those mentioned above, the Author is requested to contact the Publisher.
3. Metadata Policy
3.1. The publication metadata that is necessary to start the publishing process are the following: title, author, author’s affiliation, author’s ORCID, abstract (approx. 200-300 words), and keywords that best describe the issues contained in the publication (4-5). All metadata must be provided both in the original language and in English.
3.2. Each manuscript submitted to the Publisher should bear metadata as defined in point 3.1.
3.3. Publication metadata is the recommended method of disseminating information about a given work.
4. Version for Distribution
4.1. The journal agrees to provide only the Version for Record. This can only be done under the licence set out above with the requirement to cite the original source and DOI identifier. This applies to institutional repositories, websites and academic social media profiles.
5. Providing Links
5.1. The DOI identifier is the preferred method of linking to the full-text version of the publication due to its greater stability than the traditional URL. To get the correct link, put the protocol abbreviation: https://doi.org/ before the assigned DOI, e.g. 10.32030/abc.12.21.11 -> https://doi.org/10.32030/abc.12.21.11. The target DOI format is always displayed on the journal’s website.
5.2. The use of the URL of the text or the entire platform is allowed in exceptional circumstances, after consulting the Publisher.
