An introduction to the new platform for Stosunki Międzynarodowe – International Relations 

What’s happening?

Published by the University of Warsaw’s Faculty of Political Science and International Studies, Stosunki Międzynarodowe – International Relations has been a leading journal of international relations in Poland and Central Europe for almost 40 years. Together with open research publisher F1000, part of Taylor & Francis, we are launching one of the world’s first open access publishing platforms in the field of international relations, supported by F1000’s trailblazing open research model and technology. The publication venue is now fully open access, part of the move towards making research findings ever more accessible, usable and relevant.

The aims and scope of Stosunki Międzynarodowe – International Relations will remain essentially unchanged, with prestigious international Editorial and Advisory Boards, along with the University of Warsaw’s Faculty of Political Science and International Studies continuing to set its strategic direction.
