Slavia

Aims & Scope

Slavia, Journal for Slavic Philologyis the oldest international journal specialized in Slavic philology published in the Czech Republic. It was founded in 1921, and has been published nonstop except during World WarII. In terms of its topics, the journal focuses on comparative study of Slavic languages and literatures from the synchronic and diachronic perspectives and on the history of Slavonic studies. It also provides room for excursions into non-Slavic languages and literatures (e.g. Balkan studies, Baltic studies, German studies, etc.) and, to some extent, also for cultural/​historical, ethnological, and folkloric subjects. The individual studies are supplemented with abstracts and keywords in English, the texts themselves are published in all Slavic languages, English and German. All articles undergo an anonymous peer review and editing procedure before publishing. They are sorted into several sections, one of them provides space for reviews of Czech and foreign scholarly books. Since 2025, the journal has been published in open access mode. All the articles are openly accessible viathe Czech Academy of Sciences Digital Library. The journal does not require any fees from authors for editorial processing and publication of articles.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
