- All quotations should be enclosed within quotation marks and run on with the main text.
- Foreign-language citations should be given in Polish translation; in justified cases, the original text may be placed in a footnote.
- Footnotes should be placed at the bottom of the page and numbered consecutively throughout an article. In the case of Polish-language articles, the editors recommend using the following bibliographic notation (the rules of English-language texts are given in separate guidelines):

b) journal article: initial of first name and surname of the author, article’s title, "Journal title", volume, year, possibly number (volumes, issues and numbers always in arabic numerals), s.;

The bibliographic description should be in Polish (red., wyd., tłum., t., cz., nr, z., s. and tamże, tenże, taż, dz. cyt.). - Later references:
a) Later references should be given in the following form: in the case of only one study by a given author cited in the article – the author’s surname followed by dz. cyt.; in the case of two or more studies by a given author cited in the article: the author’s surname followed by an abbreviated title ending with three dots (the title should be as short as possible, but it should be clearly distinguishable from other works of that author).
b) In the case of two footnotes, directly below each other, referring to the same (only one) item, the following form should be used: tamże, s.
c) In the case of two footnotes directly below each other and referring to another study by the same author, replace the author’s first and last name’s initials with tenże (male author) or taż (female author).
d) Examples:
- E.W. Said, Orientalism, tłum. W. Kalinowski, Warszawa 1991, s. 5: E.W. Said, op. cit., s. 8 or E.W. Said, Orientalism..., s. 8 (if more than one study by a given author is referred to in the article).
