Abstract
Keywords:
Czech Political Science; Subdisciplines; Content Analysis; Content Characterization; Czech Political Science Journals; Issues; Authors; Trends
This paper aims to provide an extensive content analysis of studies and texts published in relevant Czech political science journals. Its major focus is on providing topical analysis of data, while paying special attention to the timelines along which various research areas became subjects of interest in these journals, and to the frequency of appearances of these areas over the course of time. In this way the authors try to identify the major topical areas of publication interest, and in some cases also present hypotheses indicating why particular research areas were/are disproportionately targeted by the journals in specific periods. Finally, the authors analyze the topical preferences of all journals, thus making it possible to identify the scope of their publication policies.
