Submission and Citation Style

Manuscripts can be submitted via the PYIL’s editorial system: www.editorialsystem.com/pyil.

PYIL does not require any fee or charge for manuscript processing and publication.


All submissions are subject to initial verification by the Editorial Board to determine whether they meet basic editorial requirements and are compatible with the scientific interests of the journal. This assessment also aims at eliminating those papers where research misconduct occurred (e.g. detection of plagiarism through iThenticate). If the Editorial Board’s assessment is positive, submitted articles are sent out to two independent reviewers, who are identified by PYIL’s editors taking into account the rules set out here.


The details of the submission and review process are described in a document entitled “Publication guidelines” available on this webpage. This document also includes information about:

Before publishing a text in PYIL, the author is required to sign a licence agreement on the basis of which he/she will CC-BY non-exclusive licence all copyrights in the submission to the ILS PAS (as the Publisher).
