The Institute of National Remembrance Review (INRR) accepts papers, papers presenting the remembrance institutions, and the overviews of the books.

The preferred languages of submitted papers are Polish and English, however papers in the authors’ mother tongues will also be admitted, if translation services in those languages are available to the Editorial Board.

Papers

The INRR accepts original scholarly papers concerning the 20th century history of Central and Eastern Europe, according to the themes of planned issues, as pointed out in the CfPs. The Editorial Board may admit papers published previously in other languages than English (in peer-reviewed journals or collections), that meet the thematic scope pointed in CfPs.

The INRR will not accept unchanged chapters of books, and papers submitted to other journals and publishing houses.

The submitted paper should not exceed 30,000 characters.

Presentations of Remembrance Institutions

The INRR accepts papers presenting remembrance institutions. The Editorial Board may choose the institution, and purposely commission a paper about the selected institution to fit the planned theme of the issue. Otherwise, potential authors are encouraged to contact the Editorial Board prior to submitting the paper.

The presentation of the Place of Memory should follow the below mentioned structure; the main body of the text should generally contain the following sections:

  • History of the protected site, respectively of the collections, archives, etc. in the care of the institution;
  • History of the institution, its concepts and activities;
  • Structure and tasks of the institution;
  • Exhibitions and education events;
  • Research resources (archives, collections, libraries — with general references to the terms of its use) and possibilities (internships, academic journals, research projects, etc.);
  • Contact details and social media accounts of the institution.

The paper should not exceed 21,000 characters.

Book overviews

The INRR accepts overviews of recent and key historical publications concerning Central and Eastern Europe edited in regional mother tongues (and therefore not available to English speakers).

Such overviews should not exceed 21,000 characters; though texts up to 30,000 characters will be admitted exceptionally.

The book’s overview should provide brief information about the book’s author and their other achievements (as well as its position in the research field), a clear outline of the book’s contents, the methods used, the most important features of the book, and its overall relationship with other findings and more generally within the state of knowledge of the field.

The reviewers are encouraged to state their own positions and assessments in the overview, however the main focus is on informing the English scholarly reader on the contents and context of the overviewed publication. The Editorial Board reserves the right to reject unfair or biased overviews.

The overview’s title should cite the details of the overviewed publication: Author(’s/s’) name(s), publishing year, title (in italics), translation of the title in English (in square brackets), number of pages, and its ISBN/ISSN number.
