The journal Studia mediaevalia Bohemica is devoted to interdisciplinary research on the Middle Ages, to fostering cross-disciplinary discussion, and to providing information on current Central European scholarly literature. Since its inception, the journal has been peer-reviewed. It is open to a wide range of approaches addressing various aspects of medieval history, with particular emphasis on Central Europe and from the perspectives of different medievalist disciplines (history, archaeology, art history, auxiliary historical sciences, and others). In this sense, the journal provides a shared platform for the interaction of diverse approaches to medieval history. An important contribution of the periodical is its effort to regularly survey significant medievalist scholarship across multiple disciplines; these sections aim to cover Bohemical scholarship while also selectively reporting on inspiring works from abroad.
The journal was founded in 2009 and is listed among peer-reviewed non-impact journals. It therefore follows the prescribed standards: all studies undergo double-blind peer review, and contributions written in Czech or Slovak are accompanied by an English abstract. Moreover, more than half of the journal’s content consists of articles based on original research; the proportion of published studies does not exceed 70 percent of the manuscripts submitted to the editorial office; and the journal maintains its own website containing all relevant information. In accordance with the requirements for inclusion in the list of peer-reviewed non-impact journals, more than half of the editorial board consists of external members (i.e., members who are not employees of the publisher). The section “Articles and Studies” publishes only original scholarly or review articles.

The journal Numismatický sborník is devoted to presenting research in the field of numismatics from Antiquity to the early modern period. The main part of the journal consists of studies presenting numismatic research focused on the wider Central European region. However, the journal also includes articles dealing, for example, with Islamic numismatics or with the history of money based on written sources. Special attention is given to the regular publication of coin finds, both from the territory of the Czech Republic and of Bohemian coins discovered abroad. These contributions are published in dedicated sections.
Numismatický sborník has long been regarded as the most prestigious numismatic journal published in Czechoslovakia and later in the Czech Republic. Over the course of its long existence, it has undergone a complex development and numerous changes. The journal was founded in 1953, directly continuing the Numismatický časopis československý, which had been published since 1925.
The history of the journal’s publication is rather complex. Its publisher was initially the Historical Institute (later the Institute of Czechoslovak and World History) of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (vols. 1–15, 1953–1979), and later the Archaeological Institute of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (vols. 16–19, 1983–1993). These volumes were published by the Publishing House of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (later Academia). The complicated situation within Czech numismatics was one of the main reasons why Numismatický sborník ceased publication after 1993.
The journal was revived in 2005, when its publication was taken over by the Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences / Centre for Medieval Studies of the Czech Academy of Sciences and Charles University in Prague. Since 2012, the journal has been published twice a year. Today it is listed among peer-reviewed non-impact journals and provides a regular platform for the presentation of scholarly numismatic research.
