All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double anonymous, and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts. Scando-Slavica strives to present readers with contributions covering a broad variety of problems considered within Slavic and Baltic studies and occasionally publishes themed issues. Suggestions for themed issues, based on research projects, conferences or the like, are welcomed and should be sent to the editor-in-chief. Contributions to themed issues are subject to the same rigorous peer review procedure as contributions to regular issues. The editorial board is appointed by the Associations of Nordic Slavists and Baltologists. However, contributions by non-Scandinavian as well as Scandinavian authors are welcomed.
