The Review of Armenian Studies is an international, peer-reviewed Armenological quarterly journal published by the All-Armenian Foundation for Armenological Studies in collaboration with all academic institutions. The journal has been published three times a year, once every four months, since November 2013. The founding editor-in-chief of the Journal of Armenian Studies was Pavel Chobanyan, followed by Albert Kharatyan, who assumed the role in late 2017.
Initially multilingual, the journal is now primarily published in English and partly in Armenian.
The rapid development of information media has created new opportunities for conducting more comprehensive scientific research. At the same time, in the context of the growing information warfare, various manipulations and distortions of evaluations can occur in the field of Armenian studies, which pose a threat to the further development of science and public thought. Therefore, the accessibility of scientific innovations obtained through unbiased research has become an urgent and important issue. The professional journal has the following objectives: a) to promote the strengthening of international cooperation between Armenian studies centers, and to encourage comprehensive research on the history and culture of Armenia, b) to enrich critical analyses of historical events with new questions and to counteract distortions and manipulations of Armenia's history, c) to discuss ways to overcome factors and circumstances that hinder the further development of Armenian studies, d) to shed new light on the fundamental issues of Armenia's history, assist in breaking free from stereotypes, and present the truth to the academic community and the public.
Special importance will be given to the publication of research covering the history of Armenia and Armenian diaspora communities in various countries, the source-critical study of primary sources related to Armenia's history preserved in the languages of neighboring countries, and the demonstration of the continuity of the development process of a unique civilization in Armenia.
The works of both Armenian and foreign scholars in Armenian studies will be published, showcasing the scientific heritage of the founders of classical Armenian studies, as well as the latest achievements in the field. The journal will present the accomplishments and challenges of various Armenian studies centers. It will be widely open to the scholarly research of Armenian studies from all countries and will publish studies representing all branches of Armenian studies. The translation of these Armenian studies works into other languages will be of particular importance.
The journal will also include a news section, bibliographic lists, and, when necessary, articles will be accompanied by photographs. Articles submitted to the journal can be in both Armenian and English languages. Armenian articles will be accompanied by extended summaries in English, while English articles will have extended summaries in Armenian. The journal will be published three times a year, with issues printed in GHEA Grapalat format.
