We have also harmonised the functionality of the journal’s basic website (at: http://www.folia-turistica.pl/index.php/pl/) with our other website being apart of the agreement with Index Copernicus International (https://journals.indexcopernicus.com/search/journal/issue?issueId=all&journalId=27206), where we have been publishing all separately uploaded papers with the attached DOI numbers since 2016. We strongly encourage you not only to visit our modified website but also, and foremost, to co-operate with our journal in various spheres of its activity and functionality, i.e. reading papers published on our website, sending in your opinions, scientific reviews and polemics on the publications, as well as contributing with your own papers presenting your research projects. Traditionally, we look forward to further fruitful co-operation with all experts reviewing the paper proposals sent to our journal.
