Proglas is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Faculty of Modern Languages at St. Cyril and St. Methodius University of Veliko Tarnovo. Established in 1992, the journal comes out twice a year: Issue 1 in June and Issue 2 in December. All manuscripts submitted for publication are screened for plagiarism and submitted to a double-blind peer-review process, strictly adhering to the norms of publication ethics. The editorial board of the journal consists of foreign and Bulgarian scholars whose international citability has been amply demonstrated.

Objectives and Scope of the Journal

Proglas publishes original research in linguistic, literary and culture-related spheres. It aims to contribute to the development of academic knowledge in the fields of linguistics, literary theory and cultural studies, as well as in the realm of educational theory and practice in these spheres. Each issue comprises articles on a previously announced topic. In the “Varia” section we publish manuscripts dealing with specific problems, suggested by the authors, which are outside the scope of the main topic of the Issue but within the specified range of subjects. In the “Reviews” and “Recent Events” sections we publish reviews of authoritative scholarly works dealing with linguistic, literary and culture-related problems, as well as information about scholarly events related to these problems. All published materials are free to access and download.

The journal welcomes Bulgarian and foreign authors from outside the University of Veliko Tarnovo. In order to attract more foreign authors and to make the published works available to a larger academic audience, as of 2020 Proglas accepts manuscripts in Bulgarian, Russian, and English (proglas@live.uni-vt.bg).
