Communicatio Socialis – Journal on Media Ethics and Communication in Religion and Society deals with trends and problems of social, media-mediated communication from a media ethics perspective.

Especially with the mediatisation and digitalisation of social communication, the importance of critical and ethical reflection on these fields is growing.

As a critical journal for the entire field of classical studies, GNOMON fosters the connection between the various disciplines of classical studies. It thus occupies a special position among review instruments and offers the possibility of finding out about important research and publications also in the neighboring fields of one's own discipline. The reviews in GNOMON are addressed to an international audience coming from all subfields of classical studies. The languages of publication in the GNOMON are: German, English, French, Italian, and Latin.

In the year of its 100th anniversary, Gnomon will adjust its publication schedule and, starting in 2025, will be published quarterly in February, May, August, and November. Additionally, the Bibliographische Beilage, which has previously been issued four times per year, will from now on only be available online through the new Gnomon website at www.gnomon.uni-bonn.de. The pages thereby made available will be redistributed across the four annual issues, allowing more space for an increased number of reviews.

Review guidelines
Reviews are generally by invitation of the editors only. Please direct inquiries to gnomon@uni-bonn.de.

Every review in the GNOMON should serve the purpose of giving a clear picture of the contents of the book, comprehensible even to those who have not read the book themselves and do not know the problem treated from their own experience. The scientific character of the review will often require the criticism of particular aspects of the work under review; the merely specific, however, should not predominate and should not be used so much for its own sake as to illustrate the method and result of the book. All that is specific should be offered separately from that which is generally significant, in a clear outline. The GNOMON attaches importance to an easily readable, linguistically accurate presentation. Your own productive and further reflections on the subject of the reviewed work are highly welcome.

Kritische Justiz examines theory and practice of law in their societal context. It ventures beyond mainstream discussions of legal questions that exhibit no understading of political constellations and eclipse socioeconomic and cultural circumstances.

Kritische Justiz publishes contributions on present and past events and developments. Since its establishment in 1968, it addresses everyone involved in the theory and practice of law.

Osteuropa Recht is concerned with current issues of the legal systems in Eastern Europe as well as the international and regional integration of these countries. It focuses on states in Eastern, Central and South-Eastern Europe as well as on the Caucasus and Central Asia. The journal records and analyses the legislative, the jurisdiction and legal debates in these states. Thus, the journal contributes to international comparative legal research.

The journal is published quarterly by Nomos Publishing. In 2019, Nomos has been included in the list of publishing companies selected by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. OER is peer-reviewed. The publishing language is German and English.

Osteuropa Recht was founded in 1954 and is published by the Gesellschaft für Osteuropakunde e.V.
