Notes to answerer
Asker: yes, "prowizorycznie" is what I was to add at this moment


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Remolek: Good point about convention. For the same reason I'd opt for "is (here) referred to as" - mark "nazwana" vs "nazYwana", which suggests that the authors coin a new term in the very paper.

  -> Thank you. It should also be said that depending on the context a past tense might be necessary here.
