Youth studies is a growing area within migration scholarship. It is evident that migration of children, unaccompanied children and children within refugee flows are significantly higher than general migration flows. We have evidence of this, for example, in the case of Syrian exodus since the outbreak of civil war in the country in 2011 (Yazgan et al., 2015). Kulu-Glasgow et al. (2019), Vila Freyer & Özerim (2020), and Vila Freyer and Meza Gonzalez (2021) are the recent collections of studies on youth in migration published by Transnational Press London alone. In the last couple of years, hundreds of articles and book chapters on youth migration have been published elsewhere. The Migration Conferences, Migration Letters proudly supports, have offered a venue for discussions on the topic since the beginning in 2011, and it has included a special track on youth migration to foster research in this particular topic.

A triple goal was set for this article: (i) identifying the functions fulfilled by scientific journals in the system of science and higher education in Poland; (ii) diagnosis and assessment of the performance of the evaluation function by the current system of journal evaluation – a critical analysis of the applicable solutions; (iii) outlining the directions of the evolution of the journal evaluation system in Poland. As far as the methodology is concerned, a critical analysis of the literature on the subject as well as a critical analysis and evaluation of applicable legal regulations played a leading role. Moreover, elements of the diagnostic approach (the description and assessment of existing solutions) and the prognostic / prospective approach (an outline of proposed changes to existing solutions) were used in the considerations. Additionally, the work uses the method of legal and dogmatic analysis of legal provisions, which allows for a critical assessment of the legislator's intentions.

The article aims to characterize the evaluation of Polish scientific journals in the fields of the humanities and social sciences, in the broader context of national science and higher education reforms. For this purpose, the notion of resentment rationalism, referring to Max Scheler’s work, was introduced to highlight the disorganization of successive attempts to rebuild the system of science rooted in evil and atavistic passions. As a consequence of the adopted research optics, what emerges is a picture of chaotic, politicized and commodified reforms, which fail to correct the position of Polish science and antagonize the community of researchers, by making it impossible to deal with important structural problems in this field.

Referring to the honourable one-hundred-year history of Ruch Prawniczy, Ekonomiczny i Socjologiczny, and the more than seventy-year tradition of Państwo i Prawo, the two most prestigious legal journals in Poland, the authors discuss the mission of legal journals in a democratic society. They focus on the times of constitutional revolutions and transformations, where the well-established interpretations of constitutional provisions became questioned or even violated. The 2015−2020 constitutional developments in Poland serve as an illustrative background and point of reference for the authors in answering the following question: how and what should legal journals publish when the constitution is being ‘vanished’ (to use the compelling metaphor of Mirosław Wyrzykowski). This predominantly descriptive and interpretative article consists of the following four parts: the mission of journals, constitutional revolution, constitutional crisis, and constitutional anomy.

The first part of the article discusses the rules regulating the creation of the official list of scientific journals in Poland. The author concludes that these rules have many flaws. Among the de lege ferenda conclusions, the author mentions: (i) the list cannot be applied retroactively, it should only have effects for the future; (ii) decisions concerning inclusion on the list and awarding points should be justified, and these justifications should be publicly available; (iii) decisions concerning inclusion on the list of scientific journals and the awarding of points to scientific journals should be subject to judicial control; (iv) the list of scientific journals should not be prepared by the ministry, but by an independent scientific agency; (v) the list should be fully developed on the basis of a unified, transparent methodology, in which the essential element of the evaluation is the analysis of journal citations. The second part of the article discusses the scientific databases used to create rankings of scientific journals. The author points out that in relation to European legal journals, the Web of Science and Scopus databases include content that is too limited to be properly used for this purpose. The author suggests taking into account the citations from the Google Scholar database to evaluate European scientific legal journals.

The article addresses selected problems associated with the subjects who have a significant influence on the selection of legal scientific research results that are disclosed, published, delivered to addressees, and which are sometimes treated as confidential and classified. These are tasks thatcan be considered as those of a special selector, or gatekeeper, in juristic scientific communication. Juristic scientific communication is understood in this text as communication between legal scientists, and as communication that is transformed into legal practice. It also encompasses the communication of commissioned research results by scientists to other external stakeholders, and the communication between scientists and the public. The questions posed in this text are as follows: are the paths of legal scholarly communication currently changing and, if so, how? Who has an important or decisive influence on the filtering of legal research results that enter public legal discourse, and who may close certain ‘gates’ and why – given that these factors prevent scholars, practitioners and the public from accessing certain content? Does digital culture have an impact on the phenomena of gates? Does the fact that open scholarly communication (open access) is developing dynamically have any influence on who is a gatekeeper?

There has been a growth of interest in EU law (formerly Community law) in Polish legal periodicals ever since the political changes in 1989 made it possible for Poland to formally participate in the processes of European integration. Few journals in Poland are devoted exclusively or predominantly to EU law. However, there are many journals publishing articles covering various areas of law, including EU law. The majority of these journals are in Polish, but the number of those published in English is increasing. Occasionally, some issues or individual articles in Polish journals are published in English. The circle of authors is diverse. It includes both persons specializing in EU law and authors dealing with various areas of Polish law analysed in close connection with EU law. The articles deal with problems of EU institutional law, but also with various aspectsof substantive law. The jurisprudence of the CJEU is also extensively analysed. The influence of such journals, in terms of gaining a better understanding of the role of EU law in the process of making and applying the law in Poland, is now evident.

The centenary anniversary of Ruch Prawniczy, Ekonomiczny i Socjologiczny is a good time for reflection on the status of social science journals in Poland. The article compares the form and content of the twelfth volume (1932) of RPEiS with today’s academic journals. The major conclusion is that the pre-WWII journal was targeted at the broadly defined milieu of the humanistic intelligentsia, while today’s journals are addressed exclusively to a narrow group of academic specialists. Is there a chance of establishing a social science periodical in Poland that would attract a broader readership, including both scientists and practitioners in the field of the social sciences?

Nikolay Turlakov published a study in this journal, No. 4, 2021, entitled “Humility and Justification or Rebellion and Struggle: Philosophical Notes on the Attitude to Suffering in Religious Faith and Customary Morality”. The outlined dilemma is whether one must follow a rigorous faith and submissively encounter human sufferings, or one ought to struggle against them. I was impressed by the interesting reflections the author has made in his study, so my paper is presented here as a kind of a letter to him. My aim is directed to strengthening his attempt at resolving the dilemma by finding a way out of it on the base of the introduction of what is called a moderate religious faith.
