At this year’s CBEES Annual Conference (November 28–29, 2024, at Södertörn University), Ninna Mörner (Baltic Worlds) and Joakim Ekman (CBEES) organized a roundtable discussion on academic journals with a focus on the Baltic Sea region and Eastern Europe. The panel included Matthew Kott, editor-in-chief for the Journal of Baltic Studies, Karsten Brüggeman, member of the editorial board of the Journal of East Central European Studies (Zeitschrift für Ostmitteleuropa-Forschung) as well as series editor of Forschungen zur baltischen Geschichte, Olivia Dejean, editor of the Revue d’études comparatives Est-Ouest, and Ninna Mörner, editor-in-chief for Baltic Worlds. Iwona Reichardt, deputy editor-in-chief for New Eastern Europe was supposed to have been part of the event, but had to cancel due really bad weather in Krak.w (cancelled flights). She was, as they say, with us in spirit.
THE EDITORS presented their respective journals and their public profiles, and touched upon a number of contemporary issues. Some of these related to recent challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic, the Russian war on Ukraine, and the possible problems that comes with publishing articles written by scholars originally associated with universities in Russia or Belarus. Other issues were more general, and dealt with area specific journals, mixing scholarly articles with essays or non-academic texts, and problems related to AI-generated texts as part of submitted scientific manuscripts. ≈
