3. Publications and files

The editorial board of “Warsaw Theological Studies” strives to ensure that published content (including files such as PDF articles) is prepared in a way that enables its use with assistive technologies.

4. Reporting problems and requesting accessibility

Everyone has the right to request that a journal's website be made digitally accessible (including a document published on the journals platform) and—where this is not possible—to request access via an alternative means.

Reports and requests may also concern content or elements of the journal's website that are temporarily inaccessible or have been identified as excluded from the duty to ensure accessibility; in such cases, we will provide information and, where necessary, an alternative means of access in accordance with the Act.

4.1. How to submit a request

Send an email to:  sekretariat@akademiakatolicka.pl

The request should include:

1. the contact details of the person submitting the request,

2. an indication of the page / page element / document concerned (preferably a link),

3. the preferred method of contact,

4. the preferred alternative means of access—if applicable.

4.2. Time limits

Accessibility is ensured without undue delay, no later than within 7 days from the date of the request.

In cases requiring technical work, the deadline may be extended in accordance with the Act, however no longer than up to 2 months, with the reason for the delay and the new deadline provided.

4.3. Alternative means of access

If we cannot ensure accessibility as requested, we will indicate an alternative means of access to the content.

An alternative means of access may, in particular, involve providing access via telephone, postal correspondence, or electronic communication (as well as other forms indicated in the Act).
