Abstract Submission Guidelines

6th Congress of Polish Statistics, Warsaw, July 1–2, 2026
  1. During the 6th Congress of Polish Statistics, presentations are divided into the following thematic areas:
    • Social statistics, demography
    • Economic statistics
    • Statistical surveys – methodology and applications
    • History, education, and promotion of statistics
  2. Presentations in sessions will last approximately 15 minutes.
  3. The abstract of the presentation/paper must be submitted via an electronic form and additionally provided as an MS Word file.
  4. The abstract should be written in a logical and coherent manner; an unclear abstract or one containing obvious substantive errors may be rejected. The abstract template (MS Word file) should be downloaded from the abstract submission system: Registration (Abstracts) – 6th Congress of Polish Statistics.
  5. The abstract should:
    1. include information about the author(s): first and last name and affiliation (in the case of multiple authors, the presenting participant submitting the paper is the corresponding author);
    2. include the title of the paper in both Polish and English;
    3. reflect the content of the paper in the following four elements:
      1. Objective – research problem, question, or thesis

        Recommended length: 400–600 characters (including spaces)

      2. Methods – the description of methods should clearly indicate the data source and specify whether the study concerns the entire population or a sample

        In the case of data from official statistics based on a sample, the sample size, method of generalizing results to the population, and information on whether and how the quality of results was assessed (including statistical inference, e.g., estimation errors, confidence intervals, significance tests) should be provided.

        In the case of results based on original research, studies conducted by research companies, or other non-official statistical sources, the nature of the sample (e.g., random, quota, purposive), the sampling scheme, and the sample size should also be specified.

        General methodological statements without sufficient detail do not meet the abstract requirements.

        Recommended length: 1200–1500 characters (including spaces)

      3. Results – the most important findings, observations, their interpretation, and significance

        Recommended length: 600–800 characters (including spaces)

      4. Conclusions – implications, applications, contribution to the development of knowledge in the field of statistical theory and applications

        Recommended length: 500–700 characters (including spaces)

    4. include keywords/phrases – a maximum of five;
    5. be prepared using Arial font, size 10 pt, single line spacing, with no spacing between paragraphs.
  6. The length of the substantive content of the abstract (i.e., the sum of the four elements: objective, methods, results, and conclusions) in each language version should not exceed 3600 characters (including spaces) and should not be less than 2700 characters (including spaces).
  7. The language of the presentation should be selected in the appropriate section of the form. A Polishlanguage abstract is optional if the presentation will be delivered in English.
  8. An active participant may be a co-author of multiple abstracts; however, they must personally present at least one of the submitted papers.
  9. The active participant bears full responsibility for the content of each submitted abstract. The information contained in the abstract must correspond to the research actually conducted and the actual scope of the work; in the case of significant discrepancies, the Scientific Committee of the Congress may withdraw acceptance of the paper.
  10. The Scientific Committee of the Congress may request the submitting author (corresponding author) to supplement or revise the abstract. The abstract serves as the basis for the substantive and methodological evaluation of the paper; abstracts that do not allow assessment of methodological correctness or the quality of results may be rejected. The deadline for submitting the revised abstract will be provided by the Organizer in an email sent to the author.
  11. Information from the Scientific Committee regarding acceptance or rejection of the abstract will be communicated to the author no later than 30 days after the abstract submission deadline, subject to point 10.
