About the Journal
SCRINIA SLAVONICA, annual review of the Croatian Institute of History, Department for history of Slavonia, Srijem and Baranja, publishes articles dealing with the history of North-Eastern Croatia, i.e. of the historical regions of Slavonia (in the modern geographical sense of this term), Srijem and the Croatian part of Baranja. SCRINIA SLAVONICA aims at promoting regional history of Slavonia as a meaningful frame for a productive and diversified historical research. It accepts both in-depth research contributions and articles of synthesis or recapitulation (review articles), as well as editions of relevant source texts in limited selections. Besides that, a part of the review’s space is dedicated to works on broader theoretical or methodological issues, primarily those applicable to specific regional research projects. Finally, articles in translation and book reviews are intended to help Croatian historians in their continuous following of historiographical developments and interesting events in the countries neighbouring Slavonia, i. e. Hungary, Serbia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. These countries constitute an area which was encompassed in the course of past centuries by various structures of mutual connection and relationship. This largely common past results naturally in an overlap of interests (while not necessarily in unanimous interpretations) of present-day historiographies in Croatia and the neighbouring countries, which in turn requires communication, a sharing of knowledge, cooperation and a well-founded dialogue.

The Editorial Board of the SCRINIA SLAVONICA accepts all papers that haven’t previously been published elsewhere. Accepted texts must be of a quality that meets the scientific, i.e. professional standards of the journal.
The Editorial Board secures two independent peer reviews for each scientific paper that passes editorial evaluation. The SCRINIA SLAVONICA applies the double-blind review process common in the humanities, in which the editor doesn’t disclose the identity of the author or the reviewer. An editor may reject an article without external review if he or she believes the topic of the article lies beyond the focus of the journal, if the author doesn’t respect ethic norms, if the article is of particularly poor quality, or if it doesn’t meet the conditions for sending articles to the journal. Authors will be informed of the results of the review process, and are obliged to revise their article according to any instructions, suggestions, demands, and remarks made by the reviewers and editors, and mark all such changes. The revised texts will be made available to the reviewers upon their request. Reviewers give their opinion about the quality of the manuscript and suggest a category for the article, while the final decision regarding the article’s category is made by the Editorial Council, based on the editors’ and reviewers’ suggestions. Apart from reviewed papers and book and periodical reviews, the journal publishes conference and exhibition reports, memoirs, notifications, etc.
The Editorial Board of the Journal of Contemporary History bases its publishing ethics on the recommendations of the Ministry of Science and Education and the Ethics Flowchart of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
