The academic journal Czech Journal of Contemporary History (CJCH) has been published by the Institute since 2013, with the periodicity of one volume a year. The overal aim of this journal is to publish articles, essays and other contributions written by leading scholars in both the Czech Republic and abroad in the field of contemporary history, with a particular focus on Czechoslovak and Czech topics in a broader international or transnational setting. Most of the articles have previously been published in Czech in the journal Soudobé dějiny [Contemporary History], the leading Czech-language academic journal that already has a twenty-year tradition. Their translation into English was done with the purpose of making them accessible to a wider audience of readers and thus to strengthen and promote international academic discussion. As of now, the journal is intended to be primarily an online platform, with just a limited number of copies being printed for each volume.
