Bibliography – In References section authors add literature references with the required bibliographic information. The journal adopts the citation standards of the APA Style. The APA Style uses parentheses in citations to present supporting information important for a work's identification and retrieval. The reference list should be included at the end of the paper.
In the APA Style the reference list is arranged in alphabetical order by the authors' surnames. The references always include the issue number for a journal article. The DOI should be at the very end of an APA reference entry.
If a reference has no author, list it alphabetically according to the title. Ignore the words ‘A’, ‘An’ and ‘The’ at the beginning of a corporate author or title for deciding where it fits alphabetically. If there are two (or more) references by the same author, list them in order of publication date with the older one first.
If references by the same author have been published in the same year, list them alphabetically by title. The letters ‘a’, ‘b’, etc. are placed after the year, for example (2011a), (2011b).
Examples:
- Parenthetical citations: (Brown, 2014; Oshima et al., 2015a),
- Narrative citations: Brown (2014), Oshima et al. (2015a).
For non-Roman scripts authors must: (i) provide a transliteration of the script into the English alphabet and (ii) provide an English translation of the title in brackets.
Additional information
Tables and Figures
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself). The caption for a figure appears below the graphic; for a table - above. Number tables and figures consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text and specify the source below the table or figure body. Please submit tables as editable text and not as images.
Reviewing process
Each article is evaluated by at least two independent reviewers from outside the author’s institution, appointed by the editorial team. All manuscripts undergo a review process conducted by qualified internal and external independent reviewers. Invitations to review are sent via the Open Journal System (OJS) platform of the Technologia i Automatyzacja Montażu
The journal follows a double-blind peer review system. Each review concludes with a recommendation regarding the acceptance or rejection of the article for publication. The possible decisions include: acceptance without revisions, acceptance with minor revisions, acceptance with major revisions (requiring re-evaluation), or rejection. Reviews that do not meet substantive and procedural requirements are not accepted. Reviewers have the right to reassess the revised manuscript.
A manuscript is accepted for publication only if it receives two clearly positive reviews. In cases where the two reviewers provide significantly different evaluations—one positive and one negative—the editors may appoint a third reviewer. Reviewers’ comments are forwarded to the author, who is responsible for making the necessary revisions. The review process is conducted via the OJS platform of the Technologia i Automatyzacja Montażu journal.
The editorial team reserves the right to reject a manuscript without review if it falls outside the scope of the journal, raises concerns about plagiarism, or is poorly prepared. The peer review process is free of charge.
