Northeast-Archive

Journal for Regional History

The Northeast Archive appears annually. Each volume is dedicated to a particular theme in the cultural history of northeastern Europe. Internationally recognized authorities serve as guest editors of the volumes and select the individual contributions.

The Northeast Archive addresses problems of regional, social and cultural history in the regions of northeastern Europe where Germans lived among and alongside other ethnic groups. Each annual volume has a particular thematic emphasis. By virtue of the programmatic rigor and unity that determine the contents of each volume, the Northeast Archive occupies a special place among scholarly periodicals with a thematic character. 

The contributions are written in English or German. In both cases, an abstract is provided in the complementary language. The Northeast Archive is a refereed journal that observes a double-blind peer-review process. It is available in hard copy in bookstores and in a digital version from relevant international data bases such as “History and Life”. The articles and reviews contained in individual volumes can be downloaded there as well as from the Institute’s homepage.

The Northeast Archive is published by IKGN e. V. in association with Andres Kasekamp (Tartu), Nikolaus Katzer (Hamburg), Claudia Kraft (Vienna), Ilgvars Misāns (Riga), David J. Smith (Glasgow), Darius Staliūnas (Vilnius), Robert Traba (Olsztyn), and Elena Zubkova (Moskow).

ISSN 0029-1595 

Each individual volume of the Northeast Archive is edited by a distinguished scholar. The editor formulates the concept, selects the contributions and assumes responsibility for the volume.

 

The quality of the volumes is assured by a stringent editorial process. The editor makes an initial assessment of the papers submitted. Those that survive this first scrutiny advance through the selection process, while those that do not are returned to the authors. A process of double-blind peer review ensues. Two specialists render an anonymous verdict on the merits of each submission. In some cases, a third expert opinion is solicited.

Double-blind Peer-review: Im double-blind Peer-review werden die Beiträge einer weiteren, anonymisierten Begutachtung durch zwei Spezialistinnen bzw. Spezialisten des jeweiligen Themenfeldes unterzogen. Gegebenenfalls wird eine Beurteilung des eingereichten Beitrages durch ein drittes Gutachten eingeholt.
