East European History – Jahrbücher für Geschichte Osteuropas

The Jahrbücher für Geschichte Osteuropas (JGO) were founded as Jahresberichte für Kultur und Geschichte der Slaven in 1924 in Breslau and received their present name in 1935. In 1941, publication ceased; in 1953, the Munich Osteuropa-Institut resumed publication of the Jahrbücher with the addition of "Neue Folge." The journal is published on behalf of the Institute for East and Southeast European Studies in Regensburg by Martin Schulze Wessel (Munich) and Dietmar Neutatz (Freiburg i. Br.) in cooperation with twelve co-editors, who represent German-speaking as well as international historiographical research on Eastern Europe.

All manuscripts are subject to a double-blind review process in which at least two independent referees are consulted. Both authors and reviewers are characterized by a high degree of internationality. As a renowned journal far beyond the borders of Germany, the Jahrbücher are listed in relevant databases (e.g. Scimago, Web of Science). As a rule, two issues per year are published under guest editorship as thematic issues on an innovative research topic and two issues as "open" issues. In addition to the articles, the issues contain an extensive review section that provides information on German and international research on Eastern European history and is available in open access. Current topics are also regularly addressed and discussed in a dedicated section.

Publication frequency: 4 issues per year, each of 180 pages.
