The editorial decisions of the journal are not affected by the origins of the manuscript, including the nationality, ethnicity, political beliefs, race, or religion of the authors.

Addendum, publicationethics.org).

All the submitted manuscripts are peer reviewed according to a double-blind reviewing procedure. This is presented in detail in the section REVIEWING; see: https://filozofiainauka.studiafilozoficzne.edu.pl/en/reviewing/
Proof-reading
Authors get their edited and typeset papers—via emails—for proof-reading. Proof-reading is done on an electronic copy of the paper, according to the editors instructions which are delivered in emails.
As rule the proof-reading phase is not meant to change the paper, its style, content, etc., but only to revise minor errors earlier unnoticed or introduced by mistake in the typesetting process.
