Dear colleagues,

The editors of ВИВЛИОθИКА: E-Journal of Eighteenth-Century Russian Studies (URL: http://vivliofika.library.duke.edu/), a new peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary, open-access journal published by the Eighteenth-Century Russian Studies Association (ECRSA) and hosted by Duke University Libraries is now accepting submissions for its forthcoming inaugural issue.

ВИВЛИОθИКА accepts submissions in all relevant disciplines and in all the major languages in which eighteenth-century Russian studies is researched. It is our hope that this electronic publication will provide a forum for the promotion, dissemination and critical analysis of original scholarly research on eighteenth-century Russian studies, based on a spirit of internationalism and a belief in the principle of accessibility. Article-length submissions can address any aspects of the culture and history of the Russian Empire (broadly defined to include all the ethnicities, nationalities, and confessions within and around its shifting borders) during ‘the long eighteenth century’ (1660-1830).

Authors are required to submit their papers online. ВИВЛИОѲИКА does not accept submissions on paper. All submissions to ВИВЛИОѲИКА go through the traditional anonymous peer-review process. Full submission guidelines can be found on the journal’s website at: http://vivliofika.library.duke.edu/about/submissions#authorGuidelines .

We look forward to your submissions!

Sincerely,

ВИВЛИОθИКА Editorial Board
