Table of Contents
“Studies in Physical Culture and Tourism” is a scientific journal publishing papers in multidisciplinary subjects concerning all domains of physical culture ranging from experimental laboratory studies, through all aspects of pedagogy and psychology of sport, physical education, leisure and tourism activities to historically based articles and all other humanities such as ethnographic, sociological, cultural and sport art studies. There is also a book review section on interesting publications in the areas of physical culture.
Manuscripts are considered for publication provided they have not been published elsewhere and are not being considered for publication elsewhere. A declaration to this effect should accompany the paper. Papers are reviewed by selected reviewers anonymous to the author (except for book reviews). We do not pay royalties. Offprints – fifteen copies will be sent to the author (or principal author if a paper is published collectively). Additional copies must be purchased. All authors are asked to give their full address, with fax and e-mail.
Papers should be submitted accordingly to the following guidelines:
All paper should be no longer than 20 pages with 1800 letters per page (i.e. 30 lines 60 points each). Two complete printed copies of a manuscript with an electronic version on a diskette or a CD-ROM (in Word for Windows system) should be submitted to the editorial office: University School of Physical Education, Królowej Jadwigi 27/39, 61-871 Poznań, POLAND.
All papers must include the title page with full name of the author, author's institution, title of the paper and an address for correspondence.
All papers must include 3-4 key words and an abstract summarizing the paper and indicating main conclusions drawn (not exceeding 150 words).
Original articles based on experimental studies must be divided into the following sections: INTRODUCTION, METHODS, RESULTS, DISCUSSION, REFE-RENCES. If necessary, each of them may be divided into subsections. Different arrangement and style of papers may be applied only to theoretical, historically based or review articles.
Papers describing experiments on human subjects or animals must conform to legal requirements in Poland and must contain a statement that experiments were approved by the appropriate ethical committee.
Figures should be submitted on separate sheets with authors name and number of the figure indicated on the back of each print. Legends for the figures should be explained in full and should appear on a separate page.
Each table should be on a separate page with a brief descriptive title at the top of each table.
The list of references should only include books and articles cited in the text and should be arranged alphabetically and numbered by author. A paper may not be cited when “in the press” unless it has been accepted for publication and the name of the publishing house or the journal is given. When cited in the text, only a respective number of a reference and, if necessary, number of a volume and page should be given in parentheses: do not place the year of publication nor the name of any author.
The reference section should follow the ensuing bibliographical system. All refe-rences should list authors with full last name and initials of the first name, complete title, place of edition, publishing house and year of publication. Titles of periodicals should be given in quotation marks, including the number or volume, year and page numbers of any article quoted. Double quotation marks should be used as a rule. Typical examples:
[1] Allison, L., ed., The Politics of Sport, Manchester University Press, Manchester 1986.
[2] English, A. W., Tigges, J., Lennard, P. R., Anatomical organization of long ascending propriospinal neurons in the cat spinal cord, “Journal of Comparative Neurology”, 1985, 240, pp. 349-358.
[3] Grys, I., Foreign influences on Russian sport in the 19th century, “Studies in Physical Culture and Tourism”, 1999, vol. VI, pp. 63-72.
[4] Renson, R., Sport historiography in Belgium. Status and perspectives (in:) R. Renson, M. Lämmer and J. Riordan, eds., Practising Sport History, Akademia Verlag Richarz, Sankt Augustin 1987, pp. 1-18.
All titles and institutional names given in languages other than English (including Polish, German, French, etc.) should be provided with their English equivalents, as for example: Drees, L., Der Ursprung der Olympischen Spiele (Origins of the Olympic Games), Verlag Karl Hofmann, Schorndorf 1974.
Do not use in reference or footnote section abbreviated names or of journals, such as, for example, “Intern. Journ. Sp. Hist.” instead of “The International Journal of the History of Sport”, or names, place names, etc., for instance “Euryp.” for “Eurypides”. In the case of better known journals and names such abbreviations do not produce problems, but in the case of lesser known names and journal titles problems arise as to what particular one the author has in mind.
Do not underline titles or introduce any forms of editing symbols: Polish and English systems of editing differ sharply and editors can be confused.
Internationally accepted Latin abbreviations, e.g., op. cit., ibid., should be employed.
Papers which do not fit these guidelines, will be returned to the author for correction and improvement.
Please, feel free to direct any inquiries to the Editors.
