Aims and scope is a scientific journal, which is an important place for the presentation of scientific views, discussions, and exchange of ideas. The journal is a well-established and recognizable periodical in the scientific communities of Poland, the Czech Republic, and Germany.
From its very beginning, was closely dedicated to research on the history of Silesia and its neighbouring regions. Importantly, the pages of the journal are also open to other topics, and the current editorial board wishes to maintain this tradition. Thus, publishes materials relating to research on the history of Central and Eastern Europe, albeit with particular emphasis on Silesia. In addition, each issue contains space for the so‑called 'universalia' — studies and historical materials of a different nature, unrelated to the main scope. The journal publishes texts Polish, Czech, English, and German. All articles published in are reviewed at least twice in accordance with the double blind principle.
The journal was awarded scientific merit points by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. It is also indexed in: Erih Plus, CEEOL, ICI Journals Master List, The Central European Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities (CEJSH), BazHum Science Library.
