About the Journal

The "Znanie. Ponimanie. Umenie" (“Knowledge. Understanding. Skill”) journal (ISSN 1998-9873 print) publishes articles, materials of conferences, symposiums, round-tables, discussions on topical research themes, information on academic events, guidance materials, reviews, reports on investigations, translations of foreign authors’ proceedings and other research works. Both prominent scholars, who work at Moscow University for the Humanities or uphold contacts with it, and young beginners — doctoral candidates, postgraduates and students — have an opportunity to publish their articles.

The publication informs its readers on the condition and prospects of the humanities’ development, achievements and problems of higher education in Russia and in the world, successful experience of Russian state and non-governmental institutes of higher education, events of current importance, documents and prognoses in the sphere of organization and financing of science and education.

The uniqueness of the journal is determined by the fact that it is heading the list of the academic periodicals in the systematic elaboration of a number of urgent research topics. Among them there are the following: investigations into young people (theories of youth, the sociology and biosociology of youth, socialization and the cultural identification of youth, the sociological monitoring of students) and the changes in education in the age of globalization (education and an educated person in the 21st century); expert evaluation in the humanities and bioethics; Russian world and Russian studies (the demythologization of Russian and world history); the thesaurus analysis in humanities knowledge (development of the thesaurus approach as a methodology of human sciences).

The "Znanie. Ponimanie. Umenie" (“Knowledge. Understanding. Skill”) journal is directed to a readership of researchers and lecturers of higher education institutions, postgraduates, organizers and investors of scientific studies, state and public figures who work in the sphere of science, education and culture.
