Before you is the first issue of the History journal for 2025. We have finished a successful year. In the six issues, which come out every other month of the year, we have published 45 publications, which are now all visible in the worldwide databases where the History journal is indexed: Web of Science (Q3), European Reference Index for the Humanities and the Social Sciences (ERIH PLUS), Central and Eastern European Online Library (CEEOL), EBSCO, etc. Throughout the year among our authors were both established scholars and young researchers from Bulgaria and abroad. In following tradition and in accordance to the aims and scope of the journal, the articles published in 2024 have enriched the categories "From Antiquity to nowadays", "View over the Balkan peninsula", "Civilization boundaries", "Guardians of the memory", "Documentary heritage", "Approaches in teaching".
Besides the scholarly articles, we did not miss to inform our readers about newly published scientific publications of particular contribution, as well as about the more note-worthy scientific forums in the country throughout the year. This variety in the contents of the History journal has ensured a wide circle of readers both in the country and abroad. Proof of this is the fact that in the last two years the journal publications have nearly doubled their citations, which can be ascertained through the scientometric data in Web of Science.
We begin the journal's 33rd year with the desire to affirm and build up what we have achieved so far. We strive to widen our circle of authors even more, to invite as our authors scholars from countries and schools with considerable achievements, yet not widely known among Bulgarian readers today. In following the established high scientific standards, the History journal will continue to act as a bridge between academic science and society when it comes to topics of Bulgarian and Balkan history, archival heritage and contemporary approaches in humanitarian education.
Let us begin!
