Studia Metrica et Poetica is a biannual peer-reviewed journal of prosody and poetics. The main aim of the journal is to publish papers devoted to the comparative-historical and typological issues, but various questions of verbal art and descriptions of the individual creation of different authors are addressed as well. The thematic range of the journal includes different language families and a wide variety of schools. Therefore, especially welcome are the contributions on non-European and non-Indo-European traditions. As regards the methods, the only restriction is that they have to meet the requirements of scholarly research, that is, the results should be verifiable. The studies of single poems are not favoured, although these are not completely excluded, when a paper is devoted to an important question or a significant text. One volume in two fascicles is published each year. Studia Metrica et Poetica is indexed in Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics) and in Scopus.
