How to publish in this journal

Scope

Currently known as East European Politics. East European Politics is an international refereed journal which publishes cutting-edge research covering the government, politics, and societies of the post-communist space. In geographical terms, EEP covers the entire post-communist region, including East Central and South Eastern Europe, Russia and all the other countries of the former Soviet Union. The journal publishes original scholarship on political developments in individual countries, together with cross-country comparative analyses, and studies relating the post-communist region to other parts of the world. EEP accepts historical studies only where they show a clear and direct link to the politics of the contemporary post-communist space. The journal is open to multiple methodological approaches, but we only accept rigorous and clearly outlined research designs demonstrating the highest standards of conceptualisation and theory-building.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.
