Fontes Linguae Vasconum

Fontes Linguae Vasconum: Studia et documenta is a Spanish academic journal dedicated to Basque linguistics, philology and literature. It was created in 1969 by the Institución Príncipe de Viana, an official cultural body of the Chartered Community of Navarre, and has since been published first by the Diputación Foral de Navarra and later by the Gobierno de Navarra (Government of Navarre). The journal is part of the publishing programme of the Institución Príncipe de Viana, alongside the better-known Revista Príncipe de Viana. The journal publishes original research on the Basque language and its literature, including historical linguistics, dialectology, grammar, onomastics, philology and literary studies. It is aimed at researchers, university faculty and advanced students in Basque studies and general linguistics. Articles are typically written in Basque, Spanish, French or English, reflecting the cross-border academic community that works on the Basque language in Spain and France. Since its foundation the journal has changed periodicity several times; it began as a four-monthly publication and has appeared in various rhythms over the decades. It is available in print and, since the digital turn, also online. The electronic version is freely accessible without restrictions from the moment of publication under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International licence. A recent print run was reported at 350 copies sold at 10 euros each, indicating a modest but stable circulation typical of specialised humanities journals. The journal is indexed and abstracted in numerous databases and repositories, including Scopus, DOAJ, ERIH Plus, Latindex, Dialnet, MIAR, MLA, Copernicus International (ICI), the Linguist List and many others. It has an ICDS (MIAR) 2020 value of 6.5, a Dialnet Métricas 2019 score of 0.063 (C2), is classified in category C by ANEP and CIRC and category D by CARHUS, and had an ICV (ICI) 2019 of 76.78. Its ISSNs are 0046-435X (print), 2530-5832 (electronic) and 0046-435X (ISSN-L), and its DOI prefix is 10.35462/flv. The editorial board is headed by a director, currently Ekaitz Santazilia of the Universidad Pública de Navarra, with a managing secretary, Paz Ezcurra Barrena of the Government of Navarre, and a drafting committee including scholars from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and the Government of Navarre. A large scientific committee brings together specialists from institutions in the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, Italy, France and Spain, underlining the journal's international reach within Basque and general linguistics. As a state-owned scholarly publication, Fontes Linguae Vasconum is not a commercial brand in the consumer sense, but it is a distinct, long-running editorial product with its own identity, ISSN, DOI and editorial structure within the public publishing house of Navarre.

Fontes Linguae Vasconum: Studia et documenta was created in 1969 by the Institución Príncipe de Viana, the cultural institution of the Diputación Foral de Navarra (later the Gobierno de Navarra). It was conceived as a scholarly journal devoted to the Basque language, its philology and its literature, at a time when Basque studies were gaining institutional ground in Navarre and the Basque Country. The journal was initially published four times a year (cuatrimestral), and its periodicity has changed several times over the decades in response to editorial and financial circumstances. From the outset the journal formed part of the publishing programme of the Institución Príncipe de Viana, which also issues the Revista Príncipe de Viana and other cultural publications. This institutional anchoring gave the journal a stable base in Navarre's public administration, while its scientific committee and contributors connected it to universities in Spain, France and beyond. Over the years the journal has published research on Basque historical linguistics, dialectology, grammar, onomastics, literature and related fields. It has become a reference title in Basque studies, indexed in major databases and repositories such as Scopus, DOAJ, ERIH Plus, Latindex, Dialnet, MIAR, MLA and the Linguist List. Its impact indicators include an ICDS (MIAR) 2020 value of 6.5, a Dialnet Métricas 2019 score of 0.063 (C2), classification in category C by ANEP and CIRC and category D by CARHUS, and an ICV (ICI) 2019 of 76.78. In the digital era the journal adopted an open-access policy: the electronic version is freely available without restrictions from the moment of publication under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International licence. It also continues to appear in print; one recent issue had a print run of 350 copies at 10 euros each. The journal carries ISSN 0046-435X (print), 2530-5832 (electronic) and ISSN-L 0046-435X, and uses the DOI prefix 10.35462/flv. Its editorial structure has evolved to include a director, a managing secretary, a drafting committee and a large scientific committee. As of the available data, the director is Ekaitz Santazilia (Universidad Pública de Navarra), the secretary is Paz Ezcurra Barrena (Gobierno de Navarra), and the drafting committee includes Dorota Krajewska, Beatriz Landa Arana and Eneko Zuloaga San Román. The scientific committee brings together scholars from Columbia University, the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, Leiden University, the University of Surrey, the Université de Namur, the University of the Basque Country, the University of Murcia, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the University of Zaragoza, the University of Konstanz, the Università degli Studi di Milano, the Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour, the University of Maryland, New York University and the University of Chicago, among others. This international composition reflects the journal's ambition to serve as a meeting point for Basque and general linguistics. Today Fontes Linguae Vasconum remains an active, state-owned scholarly publication of the Government of Navarre, distributed in print and online, and continues to publish original research in Basque, Spanish, French and English.
