LUD
LUD

Lud is a renown scholarly journal with over a century of history and a rich tradition that reflects the development of ethnology and cultural anthropology in Poland. Many generations of Polish ethnologists have marked the columns of Lud, both in the field of the ethnographic documentation of culture and in the sphere of theoretical-methodological analysis. Lud publishes strictly scientific texts, which display the wealth and scope of contemporary Polish anthropology, as well as insightful articles in more traditionally understood ethnography, ethnology and adjoining disciplines. The ambition of the editorial team is to initiate debates on the condition and future of Polish ethnology and socio-cultural anthropology, to provide a forum for scientific discussion, to address important social issues, and finally, to promote the values on which anthropology is founded.

1)The editor of a peer-reviewed journal is responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal should be published, and, moreover, is accountable for everything published in the journal. In making these decisions, the editor may be guided by the policies of the journal’s editorial board as well as by legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor may confer with other editors or reviewers when making publication decisions. The editor should maintain the integrity of the academic standards, preclude business needs from compromising intellectual and ethical standards, and always be willing to publish corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when needed.

2)The editor should evaluate manuscripts for intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the author(s). The editor will not disclose any information about a manuscript under consideration to anyone other than the author(s), reviewers and potential reviewers, and in some instances the editorial board members, as appropriate.

3)The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

4)The editor should seek so ensure a fair and appropriate peer review process. Editors should refrain (i.e. should ask a co-editor, associate editor or other member of the editorial board instead to review and consider) from considering manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or (possibly) institutions connected to the papers. Editors should require all contributors to disclose relevant competing interests and publish corrections if competing interests are revealed after publication. If needed, other appropriate action should be taken, such as the publication of a retraction or expression of concern.
