Dear Colleagues and Friends,

The global COVID-19 (corona virus) pandemic is deeply changing our daily lives and our understanding of the world. The editorial board and the publisher of «Studi Slavistici» express their solidarity with anyone who may be affected by the virus. Our deepest gratitude goes to all the health care workers — doctors, nurses, technicians, medical staff, administrators – taking care of those affected by the pandemic and to the researchers working under challenging conditions to bring this outbreak to a close. As the global research community is affected by this pandemic, we wanted to update you on how we are dealing with the situation at Studi Slavistici and to provide the following clarifications to our authors, reviewers, and readers:

For our authors: If you have a paper in process at Studi Slavistici, it is being processed as normal. However, we are flexible regarding turnaround times for revisions during this stressful time. Please keep in touch with us if you need any extensions.

For our reviewers: If you have agreed to do a review for Studi Slavistici but need extra time, please just let us know. In light of the now-limited resources for bibliographical research due to closed libraries and archives, we encourage you to carefully consider the need for additional bibliographical data in revision requests.

For our readers: Thank you for the constant attention you draw to our journal. Please note that all our contents remain openly available.

To all of you: we are conscious of the challenges that many of you are facing during this crisis. We hope that effective solutions will soon be found to slow the pandemic spread and that the return to normal life will not have a dramatic impact on our lives and societies.

We believe that mutual support and cooperation are the only ways of coping with the challenges of these uncertain times.
