Frequencyquarterly

The European Institute for Communication and Culture is publishing the quarterly scholarly journal Javnost ('The Public') in association with the Faculty of Social Sciences (University of Ljubljana) since 1994. It is an interdisciplinary journal in the social sciences which addresses problems of the public sphere at international and interdisciplinary levels, stimulates the development of theory and research in the field and helps understand and bridge the differences between different cultures. Its contributors confront problems of the public - public communication, public opinion, public discourse, publicness, publicity and public life - from a variety of disciplinary and theoretical perspectives.

International character of the journal

The editorial advisory board consists of academic members based at the universities from around the globe. The language of the publication is English and the journal stresses the coverage of topics and articles concerning the international theoretical sphere. The journal is supported by the Slovene Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport. It is published predominantly in English, but also includes some articles and abstracts in Slovene. The major part of each issue is devoted to a specific theme, while the remainder of the issue is reserved for manuscripts centred on general topics. The journal regularly carries book reviews, essays, research reports and commentaries. For subscribed users the articles of the previous editions are also available online at their website archive.
