ЛОКУС: люди, общество, культуры, смыслы

Aims & Scope

The journal "Locus: People, Society, Cultures, Meaning" is a peer-reviewed scientific journal focused on the study of topical issues in history and political science. The editors welcome publications that can center around burning issues that have unambiguous solutions to the problems of history and political science and provide an author’s vision on the topical problems thus will allow organizing a scientific discussion on the pages of the journal that can bring scientists from different countries, cultures, historical schools. Scientific articles reflecting the results of original research on history and political science, as well as reviews of sources and historiography on various topical problems of history and political science are accepted for publication. The journal also publishes new archival documents as well as translations of foreign archival and narrative sources. In articles on history, priority is given to studies based on clearly defined term systems and methods of historical analysis, as well as combining the general theoretical perspective of the problems of the world-historical processes with the analysis of specific documentary (historical) sources. For research in the field of political science, the practical value of the results obtained, their correlation with the main trends in theoretical and experimental research are important. The range of historical eras, cultures and civilizations, on the material of which the article can be based, is not limited, but the editorial board of the journal reserves the right to refuse if it is not possible to provide a sufficient level of review for highly specialized topics. The journal does not accept journalistic materials, both political and historical, as well as bibliographic reviews that do not contain the author’s conceptual position and specific comments on the presented text.
