Critique & Humanism Journal accepts texts in Bulgarian, English, German, French, and Russian that have not been published or submitted for publication with another publisher. There are no publication fees.

Submitted papers undergo a blind peer review process and their acceptance is conditional on the positive evaluation of the reviewer. Articles are submitted for anonymous review if they are relevant to the topic of an upcoming issue, announced in advance, or by request for publication in the Varia rubric. For texts falling under the Varia section, the editors of the journal decide whether or not to publish the text.

A paper’s merits are evaluated according to the following criteria:

  • the importance of the issue addressed by the author;
  • the author’s competence in the current state-of-art in the respective field of research;
  • the clarity and soundness of the author’s arguments;
  • the innovativeness and relevance of the author’s approach to the problem;
  • the quality of the author’s writing style – its scholarly level and grasp of the topic’s complexity;
  • compliance with the formal rules for citation, transliteration, and layout of the text.

Regularly, the review process takes from 2 to 4 months after the submission of the text.

Submitting an article does not guarantee its publication. It is necessary to take into account that about one third of the articles are rejected in the course of the review process.
