East European Jewish Affairs - an interdisciplinary journal - serves as the leading global journal dealing with both Jews in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union as well as Ashkenazic Jews wherever in the world they may be. Serving as a bridge between Jewish Studies and Russian and East European Studies, as well as between the scholarly community and the public, the journal welcomes scholarly submissions of single- or multi-authored articles, review essays, and annotated archival documents.
In addition, we encourage those working in the field of eastern European Jewish affairs, whether they be museum professionals or cultural activists, to submit to the journal for the new section, “East European Jewish Affairs in Action.”
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review first by members of the editorial board, and then by independent, anonymous expert referees.
East European Jewish Affairs is supported by the University of Colorado Boulder, with generous contributions from the Centre for Jewish Studies, University of Toronto and the Nevzlin Center , Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

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.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
