Slavica Slovaca is an independent scholarly periodical published by the Ján Stanislav Institute of Slavistics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, v. v. i. It represents a key publication platform for Slovak Slavistics.

Throughout its entire history, the publishing continuity of the journal has remained with the Slovak Academy of Sciences and its institutes, as documented by the journal mastheads:

1966–1973
The publisher was the Slovak Academy of Sciences through the Institute of World Literature and Languages of the Slovak Academy of Sciences.

1974–1994
Publishing responsibilities were carried out by several institutes of the Slovak Academy of Sciences: the Ľudovít Štúr Institute of Linguistics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Literary Studies of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the Institute of World Literature of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the Institute of History of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Ethnography of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, and the Institute of Ethnology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences.
