Studia Orientalia Slovaca

Studia Orientalia Slovaca (SOS) is an international peer-reviewed scholarly journal published twice a year for the Department of East Asian Studies, Comenius University in Bratislava. It is welcoming empirical and multidisciplinary studies elaborated covering the area between the Bosporus and Hawai’i, and between the Barents Sea and Indonesia, as well as their interaction with other areas of the world, taking into consideration source material in the respective areas’ language, and spanning the arts, linguistics, literature, history, the social sciences and cultural studies. All contributions undergo a double-blind peer-reviewing process. SOS is published in English, with the exception of research articles dealing with translation problems or editing hitherto unpublished source material into or in, respectively, Slovak or Czech—with a maximum of one article in one of these languages per issue. As one of the aims of SOS is to make known research achievements from Central and Eastern European countries to an English-reading scholarly audience, the book review section has an emphasis on publications in the respective languages.
