Annales Journal
Background
Its founder and original publisher from 1991, when issued for the first time, was the Historical Society of Southern Primorska in Koper. In 1994 the Science and Research Centre of Koper (SRC Koper) was set up; it began to operate in 1996 and since then its infrastructural unit Annales Publishing House has been a co-publisher of the Annales Journal. The journal was initially published only annually; from 1994 it has been issued twice per year, one issue covering the field of natural science (Series Historia Naturalis), the other one the humanities and sociology studies (Series Historia et Sociologia). From 1999 (Volume 9), however, the journal has been published quarterly, with two issues from each of the abovementioned series.
Programme / Mission
The basic aim of the journal is to publish scientific writings from history and sociology (mainly dealing with multicultural and multi-ethnic relations) and the natural sciences (primarily dealing with nature conservation, ecology and biology). It covers the regional territory of three countries of the northern Adriatic region: Slovenia, Italy and Croatia. Mainly multi- and interdisciplinary comparative studies are contributed to by international experts and some themes are continuously tackled. Annales features regular contributions from the Historical Society of Southern Primorska, Koper and co-operates with many other journals. Its papers are published in several languages (Slovene, Croatian, Italian, English, Spanish, German). Annales has also organised several symposia (with proceedings published in Acta Histriae).
