The European Journal of Humour Research

The EJHR (ISSN 2307-700X) is an open-access, academic journal published by Cracow Tertium Society for the Promotion of Language Studies and endorsed by The International Society for Humor Studies (ISHS). The EJHR publishes full research articles, shorter commentaries, which discuss ground-breaking or controversial areas, research notes, which provide details on the research project rationale, methodology and outcomes, as well as book reviews. The journal has a special focus on supporting PhD students and early career researchers by providing them with a forum within which to disseminate their work alongside established scholars and practitioners.

The EJHR welcomes submissions that combine research and relevant applications as well as empirical studies detailing their usefulness to the study of humour. All contributions received (apart from book reviews) undergo a double-blind, peer-review process. In addition to established scholars within humor research, we invite those as yet unfamiliar with (or wary of) humor research to enter the discussion, especially based on less known or less covered material. The elaboration of joint methodological frameworks is strongly encouraged. For further details or inquiries you may contact the Editors.

No charges are applied either for submitting, reviewing or processing articles for publication.   

The EJHR has entered into partnership with the Australasian Humour Studies Network (https://ahsnhumourstudies.org/) to jointly promote humour studies, encourage the publication of innovative research as well as support early career humour scholars.    

The journal is now listed in important international indexing bases including, Web of Science (Emerging Sources Citation Index),  Scopus and Scimago ranking :
