Tips for authors

Text publication terms and conditions

Text publishing principles:

Authors submitting their papers to “Literary Memoir” are requested to enclose a statement confirming that

  1. The papers have previously been neither published nor sent for publication in other periodical/collected volume,
  2. When referring in the article to ideas, conceptions, principles, methods and fragments of texts by other authors, the names and works’ titles of the aforementioned authors are clearly referenced.


Provided such dishonesty is revealed, competent authorities shall be notified.

Once the papier is accepted for publication and designed for a given issue, the authors are requested to sign a form to give the Institute of Literary Research, The Polish Academy of Sciences, the owner of the journal, a non-exclusive, free-of-charge, licence to access their work for non-commercial purposes, namely a single publication in “Literary Memoir,” as well as to place their work on the journal website and in electronic databases.
