A Pólusok folyóirat célja a politikatudomány, valamint a nemzetközi tanulmányok területén elért tudományos eredmények közlése, az érintett diszciplínákhoz köthető szakmai fórumok gazdagítása. A Pólusok szerkesztősége mindezek mellett feladatának tekinti, hogy a politológiai és nemzetközi kapcsolatok területéhez kapcsolódó hazai szakmai közélet aktív alakítója legyen, beleértve a szélesebb nyilvánosság elérését is. A folyóirat a Pécsi Tudományegyetem, Politikatudományi és Nemzetközi Tanulmányok Tanszéke és a Pólusok Társadalomtudományi Egyesület gondozásában jelenik meg.
The journal of Polarities (Pólusok) invites English and Hungarian manuscripts to its general issues. Contributions should present high-quality results obtained in the field of political science and international studies. Manuscripts undergo an initial editorial screening and a double-blind review process. Articles accepted for publication will be published on our website as soon as they are finalized and edited, and their respective DOI numbers will be automatically assigned. For detailed guidelines and additional information, please visit our submission page. If you have any questions, please contact the editorial team at polusok@pte.hu.
Changes in the structure of the journal starting in 2024
1. Publication of manuscripts in English: As of 2024, the journal will publish manuscripts in English. The editorial team will proofread the submitted papers and will only send those that are grammatically correct for peer review. In the case of minor errors, the author(s) may make revisions, but all corrections are the sole responsibility of the author(s). 2. Citation and bibliographic style: From 2024 onwards, the journal will use the 7th edition of the APA citation and bibliographic style. Please follow the guidelines for citations and bibliography: citation style, bibliography 3. Publication: Beginning in 2024, the journal will abandon its current practice of publishing contributions collectively, issue by issue, and will instead publish papers individually. In practice, this means that the Winter/Spring (1) and Summer/Autumn (2) issues will be maintained, but accepted papers will be published on the website as soon as they are finalized and edited, and their respective DOI numbers will be also automatically assigned. This means that studies finalized between January and June will be published in the first issue of the calendar year, and those concluded between July and December will be released in the second issue. In both cases, the page numbers will continue until the closing date of that issue. We are confident that this change will improve the quality and efficiency of manuscript publication.
