Sažetak
KAJ, the periodical for literature, arts and culture is aimed at the whole Kajkavian-speaking region (one of the three language systems) in the Republic of Croatia.
Since 1968 when it was started as a periodical for culture and education by Stjepan Draganić, respectable literature/history analysts and bibliographers singled out in KAJ thematic cycles of older and newer Kajkavian literature (along with the historical and artistic), as the foundation for its editing concept. Most of the texts – written by eminent authors who belong to the circle of Croatian science, culture and arts – are scientifically categorized in each volume. KAJ has the international ISSN number for serial publications 0453-1116 and UDK number 821.163.42:008:7. It is a bi-monthly edition and the average number of publications per year is 6 issues (in 4 volumes)..
The titles of its regular columns are the best and briefest description of the periodical's profile as to form and content (both in the thematics areas of the Kaj Periodical's Bibliography in this volume): 1. Contemporary Croatian /Kajkavian literature; Travel-record genre; Spiritual landscapes; 2. From the older Croatian /Kajkavian (literary) heritage; 3. Kajkavian language; Literary and language correlations; Linguistic; 4. New Kajkavian translations; 5. History of Art / Arhitectural heritage; Garden architecture; 6. Zagreb themes; 7.

The publisher of periodical KAJ is a non-government, non-profit organization consisting of esteemed scientists, artists and cultural heritage patrons – KAJKAVSKO SPRAVIŠČE (Kajkavian „Parliament“) - society for promotion of science and arts. Its President is the academician Miroslav Šicel, the most esteemed living Croatian literature historian. Besides regular editions of the KAJ periodical, KAJKAVSKO SPRAVIŠČE also publishes separate editions, as well as special editions joined in several collections. Many of these editions fall into the category of monographs and anthologies.
The culturological meaning and estimate of the periodical:
From the very beginning in 1968 KAJ has been dealing (both in a scientific and popular manner) with the many-layered cultural and historical environment, the semantic field of its name: the interrogative-relative pronoun kaj (what).
The Kajkavian mother tongue has therefore become the basic motive and content of the periodical: whether as the language of a many-century literary tradition, or as a dialect / the homeland idiom for more than a million native speakers, or as the creative language for modern Croatian literature, especially poetry. The role of KAJ is to evidence on the continuity of Kajkavian literature – mirroring the state of the spirit, literature and language of our contemporary being.
The period of Croatian/Kajkavian literature reestablishment of values/restoration, especially the contemporary Kajkavian poetry movement – coincides exactly with the time when periodical KAJ was established
Alongside with the language and literature, as well as linguistic /dialectal, literary /historical and literary and theoretical writings, KAJ has been especially important with its papers within the historical /art thematic circle: with papers on the sacral construction heritage, architectural /town-planning descriptions of castles and manors, traditional construction heritage and historical and artistic places of Zagreb, famous in history.
To put it shortly: unexplored or less known facts from the history and contemporary life of the Kajkavian speaking region covered by the KAJ periodical are in many of its segments not only important for the regional (local) significance, but are of lasting value for the identity of ethnic Croatian culture.
