Muzeológia a kultúrne dedičstvo (Museology and Cultural Heritage) is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed scholarly journal published quarterly. Submissions are accepted only in English. Submissions in other languages will not be considered. Authors are asked to submit their papers in electronic form (doc, docx, rtf or txt), including appendixes. The length of studies is set to 15-25 pages (4500-7500 words). The journal publishes papers in the field of museology, including its subdisciplines, as well as museum studies (both theoretical and applied), monumentology, and the preservation and protection of cultural heritage, with a focus on Central Europe. Priority is given to scholarly articles in areas such as museology, collecting, museum history, museum presentation, museum communication, museum pedagogy, and other topics related to museums as institutions (e.g., museum management, marketing). In our view, the term "cultural heritage" should not be used as a broad synonym for all aspects related to cultural heritage. The primary focus of our journal is museology and the study of museology; conservation and monumentology are considered secondary concerns. Articles should not be limited to regional or local issues, nor should they consist solely of case studies. Contributions should address internationally relevant topics, involve international research and cooperation, and be grounded in sound theoretical frameworks. The journal aims to offer a relevant forum to both international academics and museum professionals, with an emphasis on the study of museum collections, evaluation of curating and other collecting practices of museums, as well as focusing on current issues and trends in the development of memory institutions. The editorial board therefore reserves the right to reject submissions it deems to fall outside of the journal's scope and recommends prospective authors to first submit abstracts using the online abstract submission system. Manuscripts approved by the editorial board then undergo blind peer review by two different reviewers. Once peer review is completed, the editorial board will then make final decision on publication, i.e. accepting the abstract does not automatically mean acceptance of the article. The editorial board of the journal Muzeológia a kultúrne dedičstvo (Museology and Cultural Heritage) concludes a legal relationship exclusively with the author, not with the institution that the author represents. Review process: Phase 1: Agreement on the focus of the abstract Phase 2: Approval of the submitted text by the editor-in-chief Phase 3: Proposal of reviewers Phase 4: Anonymous double-blind peer review Phase 5: Approval by the editorial board and recommendation by referees Phase 6: Text revisions by the author Phase 7: Editorial and content review Phase 8: Proofreading by Ebor Editing (costs covered by the author) Phase 9: Signing of the author's license agreement with the editorial board of the journal Phase 10: Final inclusion for publication Open access and copyright statement Journal Muzeológia a kultúrne dedičstvo provides open access to all content (Creative Commons CC BY).
