\nOriginal articles should be 3\,000-9\,000 words\, including all elements (title page\, abstract\, main text\, notes\, references\, etc). They should be prepared in accordance with the APA guidelines. The manuscripts will be refereed through a peer-review process. Only manuscripts of sufficient quality\, accepted (or revised and accepted) by peer-reviewers and editors\, will be published. Submissions should be made through our electronic editorial system. A guide for authors and a link to the submission system are available at \;http://avant.edu.pl/en/for-authors
\nThe deadline for submissions is 30th July\, 2020. However\, it is worth considering submitting your manuscripts much earlier than the deadline. Early submitted manuscripts are reviewed and published faster\, in Online First mode. A faster reviewing process for early submitted manuscripts will be beneficial for authors\, as well as will allow more flexibility in the editorial and publishing process. Regardless\, all these articles will also be published in one collection.
