Goals and Accomplishments

Our main goal was to maintain schedule and publish every issue till end of last month of quarter and collaborate with authors affiliated in institutions around Poland. The second, was part of obtaining minimal recognition in polish scientific society.

We managed to publish issues on regular basis and our journal obtain some recognition at least within young fellow researchers.

Recognition by

One of our main goals for 2015 was to become recognized by Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. PJSP was a subject of audit and evaluation by commission. As an result PJPS was included on Ministry List of Evaluated Journals and awarded 5 points.
