Publication & research integrity

Publishing guidelines

Papers presented at BEAM 2027 can be submitted as full articles to the peer-reviewed post-conference monograph, published by the Centre for Academic Publishing at WSKZ.

The publication route is a post-conference monograph through the WSKZ Centre for Academic Publishing. Whether the articles appear in one volume or in three thematic parts is still being settled with the Centre, and any indexing will be stated here once it is confirmed rather than promised in advance.

Post-conference monograph

Presenting authors are invited to submit a full article. Articles are peer reviewed and published in the post-conference monograph of the WSKZ Centre for Academic Publishing.

Each article goes through review, editing and typesetting at the Centre for Academic Publishing. Reviews run from April to June 2027.

Review window: IV–VI 2027

Preparing an article

The citation rules below are binding now. The article template and the remaining formatting instructions are issued by the Centre for Academic Publishing when submissions open on 29 January 2027, so that authors work from the current house style rather than a copy that has drifted out of date.

Scope of an article

  • Based on the paper presented at the conference.
  • Written in English only, single column.
  • Anonymised review copy, with author details supplied separately.

Citation

  • Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition, notes and bibliography — see the editorial requirements.
  • Footnotes at the foot of the page; bibliography at the end of the article.
  • DOIs hyperlinked wherever they exist.
  • Empirical work: state where the replication data can be found.

Editorial requirements · Wymogi redakcyjne

Editorial requirements – citation system

Articles for the post-conference monograph are written in English only. Citations follow The Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition (2024), notes and bibliography system: footnotes at the foot of the page and a bibliography at the end of the article. Legal sources and generative AI follow the house rules below.

  1. 1.Footnotes

    Every source is cited in a numbered footnote. The first citation gives full details; later citations use the short form.

    • Note numbers are superscript and follow punctuation, except a dash.
    • Authors’ names appear as in the source, first name first (Anna Nowak).
    • One or two authors: name both. Three or more: first author followed by et al.
    • Page numbers are given without “p.” or “pp.”; ranges take an en dash (117–20).
    • Short form: surname, title shortened to four words or fewer, page (Nowak, “Title of the Article,” 120).

  2. 2.Bibliography

    A single alphabetical list by author’s surname at the end of the article, with a hanging indent.

    • Surname first for the first author only (Nowak, Anna, and Piotr Wiśniewski).
    • Up to six authors are listed; for seven or more, list the first three followed by et al.
    • Repeat the author’s name for each entry; do not use a 3-em dash.
    • Journal articles give the full page range; chapters in edited volumes do not need one.
    • Place of publication is not required for books published after 1900.

  3. 3.Online sources and DOIs

    Give a persistent identifier wherever one exists.

    • DOIs are written as URLs (https://doi.org/10.…); the “doi:” prefix is no longer used.
    • Without a DOI, give a stable URL or the name of the database.
    • Give an access date only when the source shows no publication or revision date.
    • Journal citations normally omit the month or season.

  • Legal sources: cite statutes, EU acts and judgments by their official designation, ECLI where one exists, and the article, paragraph or point referred to. Legal sources may be listed separately at the end of the bibliography.
  • Generative AI: identify the tool, version, developer, date and prompt in a note or in the text. Disclose the use of AI writing assistants in the acknowledgements as well.
  • Use reference-management software (Zotero, EndNote, Mendeley) with the “Chicago 18th edition (note)” style where available.

Research integrity

Ethics declaration for behavioural and biometric research

Authors running experimental trials, or processing human biometric data — facial images, pupil dilation, voice recordings, keystroke dynamics — must declare approval from an institutional review board or ethics committee.

Use of generative AI writing assistants must be disclosed in the acknowledgements, naming the tool and version. This is the same standard the conference asks of the systems it studies: say what read what, and on whose authority.
