Zoophilologica. Polish Journal of Animal Studies is the first and, hitherto, only aademic journal in Central and Eastern Europe devoted to the broadly construed cultural and social issues presented from the perspective of Human-Animal Studies. It has been published annually since 2015 in the Open Journal Systems (OJS) service. Beginning in 2021 the journal has changed to a half-yearly publishing cycle. Texts which have gone through the review and revision stages are published incrementally in the online first model, i.e., before the formal closing of an issue.
The journal offers academic, monographic, and overview articles alongside reviews, book notes and reports written by scholars who examine the relationship between humans and animals as part of their research activity in various academic disciplines, ranging from social and natural sciences to humanities. Special (thematic) issues are published as part of the journal’s agenda.
As of 2017, the journal is listed in Index Copernicus Journal Master List with the impact factor ICV 2022 = 91,12. Since 2017 it has been on the list of journals indexed by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education, with the current score of 40 points. Since 2021, the journal has been indexed in the ERIH+ and DOAJ databases, and since 2022 – in Scopus.
Between 2019-2020 the journal was included in the ministerial “Support for Scientific Journals” programme.
The journal is under the joint ownership of the University of Silesia in Katowice and the Alumni Association of the University of Silesia.
