1. General information
The Electronic Journal of Polish Agricultural Universities (EJPAU) requires that manuscripts be formatted to conform strictly to the regulations of the copy editor and publishers. The main body of a manuscript must include an abstract, core article and references and must be saved as one text file. Tables, figures, graphs and other appendices all constitute attachments and each of them must be saved to a separate file, in applicable file format (.GIF, .JPEG etc.)
2. Text and graphics formats
Text files as well as tables must be submitted in either MS Word for Windows (.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rtf). Most text editors for Windows will save to this format.
Please, do not embed figures, graphs, tables or any other objects in your text.
Graphics (photographs, figures and graphs) will be accepted in the following formats:
- GIF - Graphic Interchange Format
- JPG or JPEG - Joint Pohotographic Experts Group
- PCX - PC Paintbrush
- BMP - Windows Bit Map
- TIF
- PS - Postscript, and
- EPS - Encapsulated Postscript
None of the vector formats (from Corel Draw, Designer, Autocad, Illustrator, etc.) will be accepted.
Do not include title and caption information with your photographs, figures or graphs.
All caption information and titles must be provided in the List of Attachments as a separate file.
Our electronic journal permits the inclusion of non-text appendices such as video files, computer simulation programs or landsat images. Please note that only a limited number of our subscribers have systems that will support these advanced file formatting.
3. Document style

Footnotes
- automatic headers and footers are not acceptable as they cannot be handled by our journal software
