Culture Crossroads

"Culture Crossroads" is an international peer reviewed open access scholarly journal, published in electronic format (available at www.culturecrossroads.lv). It is indexed by Scopus (since 2022), EBSCO (Humanities Source Ultimate), ERIH PLUS, ULRICH'S, Central and Eastern European Online Library (CEEOL). The regular issues are published once a year, with a range of Special Issues published throughout the year. For instance, in 2025 there will be separate Special Issues on film, theatre, cultural management, cultural heritage and more.

In 2024, the journal’s international editorial board saw changes, to represent the thematic diversity of the journal more fully and foster the journal’s strategic development.

Since the journal’s target audience is international, the papers are published in the English language. Before submitting your paper, please make sure it:

may be of interest to an international audience (e.g. in the case of local empirical studies, the author places these within the context of broader international academic discussions);
the paper is written in precise and reader-friendly academic English;
fulfils the requirements for an academic paper and the scholarly quality of journals included in internationally indexed databases;
conforms to the journal’s Guidelines with regard to length and formatting.

Articles that fail to take into account these aspects will not be accepted.
