About The Akhmatova Review

As the first and only Slavic studies student journal at the University of Edinburgh, the Akhmatova Review offers an annual publication of scholars in Scotland and beyond who produce works of merit within the field of Slavonic research. Due to limited publication outlets within Scotland addressing the Eurasian region, this review accepts pieces written on Eurasia in its most broad conception, welcoming works that analyze overlooked areas, such as the Baltic countries, Caucasia, and beyond. The journal accepts written pieces in the form of articles (academic works between the word count of 2,000-6,000 words), longer academic examinations (6,000+ words), creative pieces such as poetry and short stories (under 4,000 words), and shorter political commentary which will appear in the format of an opinion column (between 1,000 and 2,500 words). For artistic content, the journal will accept both smaller works that can be used within another contributor’s article and larger works that can have their own dedicated page. Images uploaded must be high resolution, or they will be deemed unusable for publication. No video or audio submissions will be accepted. Applications for the editorial board will open by mid-September, and author/ artist submissions will open in early October. The Akhmatova Review prioritizes the publication of undergraduate students to encourage youth advancement in the field of Slavonic studies; however, academics of all levels are able to submit. The Akhmatova Review is an open-access publisher, and the Akhmatova editorial board will edit all works.
