AURORA Group s.r.o. was established in 2009 in Bratislava, Slovakia. It began operations as a book publisher and a quarterly journal for the Russian community in Slovakia titled Spolu (Together). Since then, AURORA Group has published an English-language quarterly publication called PHILHARMONICA. International Music Journal. In early 2017, it acquired the rights to publish English versions of all 62 journals of the Russian publisher, Nota Bene (NB-Media Ltd.).
The printed journals have been switched to an online format, and the publisher has gone completely digital. All journals are published in an open-access format, and all articles receive an international digital object identifier (DOI).
Since 2014, the Publisher has established its own Institute of Scientific Peer Reviewing, which conducts double-blind peer reviews for each submitted manuscript. Thanks to this rigorous process, only 26% of submitted articles are accepted for publishing.
