2. Two independent reviewers outside the Wroclaw University of Economics and Business make a review with respect to the following rules:

author and reviewers do not know each other’s identities (double-blind review process),

  • article assessment is expressed in points,
  • if any corrections are made to the article in the process, please highlight all the changes using different color (in MS Word).

3. Editorial Committee decides if an article will be published in a given issue of the journal.
