Toruńskie Studia Bibliologiczne

Toruńskie Studia Bibliologiczne (TSB) is a Polish open-access academic journal published since 2008 on the initiative of staff at the Institute of Scientific Information and Bibliology of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. It is a semi-annual periodical covering a broad spectrum of topics: from book studies (publishing movement, bookbinding, book graphics, censorship, collecting, the art of the exlibris), through librarianship (activities of libraries and information centres, readers and their categories, library processes, information literacy), to information science in the broad sense (new technologies, media, automated information retrieval systems, the Internet and digital resources). The journal is indexed in international databases including Index Copernicus and The Central European Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities, as well as national databases ARIANTA and Polska Bibliografia Bibliologiczna. It is also registered in WorldCat, Google Scholar, the Directory of Open Access Journals, ViFaOst, and LitDok. In 2012 the journal was entered into the list of scored journals of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education with 4 points; from 2013, a scientific publication in the journal is worth 5 points. The editorial team has evolved over time. From 2008 to 2017 the editor-in-chief was Grażyna Gzella, with Wanda A. Ciszewska and Małgorzata Kowalska as thematic editors and Mariusz Jarocki as editorial secretary. From 2018 the editor-in-chief is Tomasz Kruszewski, supported by thematic editors Barbara Centek, Magdalena Cyrklaff-Gorczyca, Bernardeta Iwańska-Cieślik, Paweł Marzec, and Natalia Pamuła-Cieślak, with Mariusz Jarocki continuing as editorial secretary. The journal also has a philological section (Ewa Jaroszewska for Polish proofreading, Weronika Kortas for proofreading and translation of abstracts into English) and an economic section (Anna Dziadkiewicz for statistical and economic analysis). The scientific council includes scholars from Poland and abroad, such as Daiva Janavičienė, Katarzyna Materska, Fahrettin Özdemirci, Maria Próchnicka, Andžejus Pukšto, Jiří Trávníček, Andrea Scharnhorst, and Grażyna Wrona. The journal is published by Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń and is available both through its own website and via the Open Journal Systems platform. It remains an active, open-access scholarly title serving the Polish and international bibliological and information science community.
