The conceptual core of the journal is philology understood in its etymological sense as love to words. Words and language are omnipresent. They are instruments of communication and a fusion of meanings and discourses in their correlation with cultural and social contexts. Therefore, the journal discusses problems that require reference to philosophy, cognitive science and cultural studies.

The main research themes of the journal are communication, the dynamic processes of meaning construction and representation with regard to sociocultural, cognitive, semiotic, and other factors. Searching for research methods for investigating these phenomena is another field of interest. The methodological basis of the journal strategy is the unique experience of Russian language studies and its significant contribution to world science. In recent years, "Slovo.ru” has become the first, and so far the only journal focused on academic coverage of trans- and interdisciplinary social, linguistic, historical and cultural studies of the Russian language in the context of intensively developing trends and methods.

The journal draws attention to the insufficiently studied aspects of the Baltic Sea region as a unique space of age-old contacts and an ongoing dialogue between languages and cultures. Renowned Russian and international researchers - literary scholars, cultural historians, philosophers, political scientists and historians - have joined the editorial council and the editorial board of the journal. They specialize in Russian language studies or work in related fields of knowledge. In their research, they
