Journal policies

The bilingual journal “Postmodernism Problems” publishes scientific research by Bulgarian and foreign scholars in the social sciences and humanities. It focuses on significant socio-cultural and communication-technological changes and transformations accompanying postmodern society, which different theorists conceptualize in various ways – information society, knowledge society, global society, media society, etc.

Its editorial policy is based on the publication of original articles that have not been published elsewhere, without requiring authors to pay publication fees.

Some individual issues of the journal are structured into thematic sections with invited leading Bulgarian or foreign guest editors.

As an open-access journal, it welcomes not only established scholars from all continents but also young researchers, postdoctoral fellows, doctoral students, and students, providing them with free access to the published articles and reviews.

Through the mandatory transliteration of the titles and authors’ names of articles from countries with limited language distribution, and their translation into English, the journal provides an opportunity for broader scientific dissemination of research topics and greater international visibility of authors.

The Editor-in-Chief assumes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the principles of scientific ethics by guest editors, reviewers, and authors, for upholding their legal rights and obligations, and for preventing and addressing unethical practices.

All submitted manuscripts undergo a plagiarism check using the Turnitin program before being sent for double-blind review.

Manuscripts are evaluated solely on the basis of their scientific contribution and adherence to ethical standards, without discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, or political views.

The anonymity of authors is guaranteed throughout the review process. Reviewers remain anonymous to authors before, during, and after the evaluation process, and authors remain anonymous to reviewers until the completion of the review procedure. The confidentiality of submitted manuscripts, research data, and review comments is also ensured.

The views and ideas expressed in the published works do not necessarily reflect those of the Editor-in-Chief or the guest editors of the respective issues.
