Judaica Bohemiae

Judaica Bohemiae is a scholarly peer-reviewed journal that has been published by the Jewish Museum in Prague since 1965. Originally a biannual journal, it came out annually in 1994–2008, and twice yearly in 2009–2022. As of 2023, it is once again an annual publication. Articles are published in English and German. The journal is included in the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (Web of Science), Scopus, and the European Reference Index for the Humanities and Social Sciences (ERIH PLUS).
 
Judaica Bohemiae focuses on the history and culture of the Jews in Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and other countries of the former Habsburg Monarchy from the Middle Ages through to the present. It features original scholarly papers in its regular sections ‘Studies and Articles’, ‘Documents’, ‘Reports’ and ‘Reviews’. To be included in the main sections – ‘Studies and Articles’ and ‘Documents’ – papers must be evaluated by an independent peer-review process. Accepted are original studies and material studies of between 25 and 45 standard pages focusing on various aspects of Jewish history in the Bohemian lands or the wider Central European region, which provide new information, perspectives, theoretical approaches and assessments, and which successfully contextualize specific topics within existing research and within broader perspectives on the development of the entire society. Papers that apply modern historical approaches and connect different disciplines are welcome. To be included in the ‘Reports’ and ‘Reviews’ sections, contributions must be evaluated and accepted by the journal’s editorial board. The ‘Reports’ section features contributions that draw attention to important research projects, exhibitions and conferences, while the ‘Reviews’ section focuses on important scholarly publications relating to the thematic focus of the journal. 

Judaica Bohemiae can be ordered directly from the publisher or through SUWECO CZ and CEEOL (Central and Eastern European Online Library).

Peer review process

Papers that are submitted to the journal Judaica Bohemiae for publication in the peer-reviewed section 'Studies and Articles' are first assessed by the journal’s editors or by members of the editorial board. Papers may be rejected at this stage by the editorial board if they contain major shortcomings in terms of form or content.

Papers that are accepted go through the standard peer review process, with each text being reviewed twice. The text is then made anonymous and sent to a reviewer who is selected by the editorial board with regard to the specialist focus of the text. Preference is given to external reviewers (from the Czech Republic and abroad) although, in exceptional and justified cases, they may be members of the editorial board. A paper by a member of the editorial board must be reviewed by an external reviewer.

If the reviewers differ in their assessments of a particular paper, the editorial board will decide by voting whether to accept one of the reviews or whether to send the paper out to another reviewer for a third review . After the third review is submitted, the editorial board will decide by voting whether to accept or reject the paper. The final decision is based on an absolute majority vote. The editorial board will then return all the reviews to the author with a brief statement on whether the text has been accepted, whether it needs to be revised, or whether it has been rejected.
