Etnologické rozpravy / Ethnological Debates is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published once a year by the Ethnographic Society of Slovakia. The articles are accepted in Slovak, Czech and English language.
Etnologické rozpravy / Ethnological Debates are indexed in CEEOL, DOAJ, ERIH PLUS.
Etnologické rozpravy / Ethnological Debates publishes research findings in ethnology and sociocultural anthropology, as well as other related areas of scientific research and practice. They publish problem-oriented theoretical, overview, empirical (material) articles, as well as professional essays, interviews, reviews, and reports. Individual volumes are usually published as thematically open issues, or with a priority theme. Articles go through peer reviewing process.
The journal has been published twice a year since 1994 as a continuation of the professional non-periodical bulletin Národopisné informácie / Ethnographic information (founded in 1969), which was published by the Slovak Ethnographic Society (now the Ethnographic Society of Slovakia) and the Ethnographic Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (now the Institute of Ethnology and Social Anthropology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences). Later, the Slovak National Museum in Martin also became a co-publisher. Currently, Etnologické rozpravy / Ethnological Debates is published solely by the Ethnographic Society of Slovakia. The original functions of the periodical were informative (aimed at informing members of the scientific community and the Slovak ethnological community) and professional (based on the publication of scientific and professional contributions in the field of ethnology). Since 2004, the publication of the journal has focused on single-theme issues, and since 2018, the concept has focused on narratives as an essential part of ethnological and anthropological research. The magazine was published in print until issue 1/2021.
Since issue 2/2021, Etnologické rozpravy / Ethnological Debates has been a fully (and exclusively) electronic internet journal applying the principle of open access. Since 2026, it has been published once a year.
