Summary/Abstract: The paper reflects briefly on various challenges and problems that historians in Slovakia face today. The author used an internet questionnaire to examine experience of historians with present-day editorial and proofreading practice in publishing, since this is one of the indicators of the quality of published texts. Unlike some global, long lasting and complex problems that historians deal with today, proofreading is one of the areas that can be improved immediately on an individual level and can help to increase the quality of the published research results.
