Quotations
- A source should be shown at all quotations.
- The following reference to literature can be used in the main text:
- a surname of an author of a work with the year of edition in brackets, for example [Kowalski 2011]. If a joint publication is quoted the first part of the title and the year of edition are included in brackets, for instance [Badania marketingowe… 2010],
- A general rule has to be accepted that in one book there is one way of literature citing – literature notes or a list of literature at the end of an article.
Typescript

- Continuous numbering should be kept within an article or within a chapter. If there are few notes in the whole work, numbering can be used within the whole work.
- Notes can be subject or bibliographical.
- If an author quotes a work which has already been in a note, the work’s title should be replaced with an abbreviation wyd. cyt. If in bibliographical notes there is citing at least two works of the same author, the initial words of a title should be given to avoid ambiguity.
- The given order applies in notes: first name’s initial, surname, etc.

- A drawing should be prepared on a white background.
- Separate elements of a drawing can be made in the shades of greyness to make an included in it text legible.
