Learn about Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe

Aims and scope

Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe (JCCEE) is a multi-disciplinary journal providing a radical critical analysis of economic, social, cultural and political perspectives and developments in the region bounded by Germany in the west and Russia in the east.

The journal welcomes submissions in all fields of the social sciences and historical and cultural studies, and seeks to stimulate social and political debate on current issues. In addition to single country analyses, JCCEE accepts multi-country analyses linking the region with the wider issues of world order, globalisation and inequality.

JCCEE publishes research articles, forum pieces and book reviews. We are also interested in features beyond the traditional fare of academic journals and will consider submissions of documentation, interviews and eyewitness accounts.

Peer Review Statement

All research articles in this journal have undergone anonymous double anonymized refereeing by two referees.

Understanding and using journal metrics

Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.

We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.

For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
