Z historie našeho onomastického časopisu

Our onomastic journal is the only Czech peer-reviewed scientific periodical dealing with the field of proper names. It was founded in 1960 by Vladimír Šmilauer and Jan Svoboda as the second onomastic journal in Slavic world (after the Polish Onomastica). It has changed its name several times: Zpravodaj Místopisné komise ČSAV (Bulletin of the Topographic Board of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences) > 1983 Onomastický zpravodaj ČSAV > 1993 Onomastický zpravodaj > 1995 Acta onomastica. It has an extensive network of Czech as well as foreign contributors; contributions are published especially in Czech, Slovak, Polish, Russian, German, and English. Original articles, reviews and reports deal with any aspects of the research of proper names, their linguistic as well as extralinguistic aspects. Due to its interdisciplinary orientation, the journal publishes contributions written not only by linguists, but also researchers from other fields. The journal Acta onomastica is indexed in Scopus, Central and Eastern European Academic Source (Ebsco), The Central European Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities (Cejsh) and ERIH PLUS.
