Experts agree that for the last half-dozen years The Russian Review has reigned as a premier journal in Slavic Studies. Its prescient receptivity to cultural studies, its admirable emphasis on intellectual and scholarly quality over 'partiinost' and its unusually rigorous adherence to publication schedules have made The Russian Review a model of academic scholarship and professionalism. The Russian Review appears punctually, rarely contains typographical errors and stylistic solecisms, teems with stimulating, original insights, and invariably explores new ground. It is one of the only professional journals worth reading from cover to cover, and its achievements are all the more impressive in light of its independence from dues-paying organizations - Helena Goscilo, University of Pittsburgh.

When the Scandinavian Journal of the Old Testament was first published in 1987, it was expected to become the principal forum of Scandinavian Old Testament research. Reality has surpassed the expectations of the founders, as Scandinavian Journal of the Old Testament is rapidly becoming one of the major outlets of international Old Testament scholarship, although without losing its specific Scandinavian character. Contributions by leading scholars have in recent years changed the scholarly understanding of the history of Israel. Such contributions have been published in issues devoted to special themes such as heritage of Sigmund Mowinckel; the question of Israel's origin; Old Testament and Literature.
