It endeavors to be open to a wide range of topics, methods and styles, to go beyond narrow definitions of the discipline of historiography and to integrate the other social sciences.

Soudobé dějiny / Czech Journal of Contemporary History publishes original research on the history of Czechoslovakia and the Bohemian / Czech lands and the Czech Republic in the "short" twentieth century to the present within a broader international context. Its articles, however, also consider the history and historiography of other countries, particularly those of Central Europe, as well as questions of theory and method in the writing of history.

The individual issues of the journal are usually focused on a central theme. The regular features of the journal include: discussions, reviews and notes. Each issue of Soudobé dějiny / Czech Journal of Contemporary History includes English-language summaries of the articles and reviews.
