Fails WP:NPROF. It is a nicely written biography, but of an academic who is just not notable yet ( WP:TOOSOON). No major awards or positions held, no significant impact, google scholar citation numbers are not bad but don't indicate much of an impact ( [1]). And not much to pass WP:NBIO in general. PS. Also a likely WP:VANITY article written by the subject or someone connected closely to him. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:37, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Criterion #1: Sztando's scientific publications have been cited 388 times in peer-reviewed scientific publications till 23rd of August 2017. Here is a list of them submitted during his successful habilitation procedure: https://nauka-polska.pl/#/profile/scientist?id=91593&_k=uvcl4t (tab scientific curriculum / achievements) Is 388 a lot? When it comes to public management, yes. In addition, Criterion #1 says: "Differences in typical citation and publication rates and in publication conventions between different academic disciplines should be taken into account" and says: "Publication and citation rates in humanities are generally lower than in sciences". Public management is a young scientific discipline with small number of scientific journals and with no comercial support/interest like traditional, old management, but is extremely important because society, economy and environment deeply depend on it. Criterion #1 says as well: "For the purposes of partially satisfying Criterion 1, significant academic awards and honors may include, for example: ...named lectures or named lecture series". We can see Sztando's certificates/confirmations on named lectures delivered at universities in 11 countries of 4 continents, here: https://nauka-polska.pl/#/profile/scientist?id=91593&_k=uvcl4t (tab scientific curriculum / recomendations). In Criterion #1: "There are other considerations that may be used as contributing factors (usually not sufficient individually) towards satisfying Criterion 1: ...service on editorial boards of scholarly publications". Sztando serves as a member of the Editorial Committee and the International Scientific Program Council of the journal Economic Alternatives (Bulgaria) (see: https://www.unwe.bg/eajournal/en ), as well as member of Editorial Team of Urban Studies and Public Administration (USA) (see: http://www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/uspa/about/editorialTeam ). I think that it is also important that he is an expert monitor of Research Executive Agency of European Commission which agency manages the research and innovation program Horizon 2020 - the largest one in the European Union. See: https://www.ue.wroc.pl/pracownicy/andrzej_sztando.html
Criterion #2. He received Bronze Medal for Long Service. Polish State Act of October 16, 1992 on Orders and distinctions (Journal of Laws 2019, item 25) in Article 18a. says: "The prize for exemplary, exceptionally conscientious performance of duties resulting from professional work in the service of the State is the Medal for the Long-Term Service", see: http://prawo.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/download.xsp/WDU19920900450/U/D19920450Lj.pdf The executive ordinance to this act is the Ordinance of the President of the Republic of Poland on the detailed procedure in cases concerning the awarding of orders and badges and templates of relevant documents. This ordinance contains a template of the application for a discussed medal and in its 18th point it needs "justification of the application, with particular regard to exemplary, exceptionally diligent performance of obligations resulting from professional work, awarded prizes and distinctions", see: http://prawo.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/download.xsp/WDU20140000064/O/D20140064.pdf It is not true that the President of the Republic of Poland gives these medals for just being at work for specific amount of time (this is only a one of formal prerequisites of application. It would be illogical by the way). He gives them for "exemplary, exceptionally diligent performance of obligations resulting from professional work, awarded prizes and distinctions". In the case of Sztando, it was a scientific work, the application of its results in the practice of Polish public management and the scientific awards won.
Criterion #7. He has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity. His research results are largely utilized by public managers/authorities in not only Polish practice of strategic management of local and regional development. There is a number of local and regional development strategies implemented in Poland (for voivodeships, provinces, counties, communes, cities etc.) which use those results (public management methods, tools, procedures, rules etc. developed by Sztando). Additionally he is an full author of dozens of them. We can see examples in projected Wikipedia article. It is rare that the research results in public management are so widely used in practice. And we have to remember that each strategy deals with number of long term investments and other public activities, the value of which is calculated in from hundreds of millions up to few billions of PLN (1Eur=4PLN). If it is not "substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity", what is?
Summarizing, in my opinion, Sztando is notabile academic measured by their academic achievements. Thank you Iszop63 ( talk) 00:07, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
