agree  Andrzej Mierzejewski: ale long term to raczej długookresowy, nie długoletni.

  -> Nawet lepiej. Dziękuję Andrzeju za poparcie i pomoc.
agree  mike23: It's good, but somehow I don't like it as it sounds like it came from a scientific paper. However, we are propably talking about one here, so it's a good option.

neutral  Andrzej Mierzejewski: Polish 'wieloletnie' means "for/over many years", while 'long term' may be hours or days - IMO. What do you think?
18 hrs
  -> Hi Andrzej, I merely sent in the reference, so no worries:)
agree  mike23: I like "long-term research/study" as it sounds more natural to me
