The Zeitschrift für Ostmitteleuropa-Forschung / Journal of East Central European Studies (ZfO / JECES) is a refereed journal on the history and culture of East Central Europe in German and English. It is published on behalf of the Herder Institute for Historical Research on East Central Europe in Marburg by currently twelve historians from Germany and the USA and is published quarterly by the institute's own publishing house.
history
The ZfO was founded in 1952 under the title Zeitschrift für Ostforschung and was published by Hermann Aubin , Herbert Schlenger and Erich Keyser on behalf of the Johann Gottfried Herder Research Council . The ZfO was published by Elwert Verlag, Marburg, until 1969. In 1994 the editorial board was transferred from the Research Council to the Herder Institute; In 1995 the ZfO received its current name. It has been published with the English parallel title Journal of East Central European Studies (JECES) since 2017.
Content / topics
The articles in the ZfO deal with the area of today's states Poland , the Czech Republic , Slovakia , Belarus , Ukraine , Lithuania , Latvia , Estonia , Hungary and the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad . In addition to scientific articles and miscommunication , the ZfO also contains reviews and research reports. In addition, themed issues appear up to twice a year as part of the regular issue count, each of which is compiled by guest publishers identified by name. In earlier decades, selected bibliographies of regional history as well as obituaries and conference reports were published. While the editors still saw themselves in the tradition of German Ostforschung in the first few decades , the ZfO today avoids the previous fixation on the German part of the history of East Central Europe and instead makes it its task to depict the heterogeneity of the region historiographically .
The contributions in the ZfO are assessed under the conditions of the double blind peer review . The reviews are also published on the website of the Herder Institute and on the portals recensio.net , Clio-online and (a selection) sehepunkte .
