Historical Research
Introduction
First published in 1923, Historical Research is a leading journal for history.
- It publishes the work of established scholars and assists new researchers with their first articles.
- Its articles cover a wide geographical and temporal span: from Britain to the Far East; from the early middle ages to the 20th century.
- It encourages the submission of articles from a variety of approaches, including social, political, urban, intellectual and cultural history.
- It was one of the first history journals to offer an Early View facility where fully edited and proofed articles are published online within a year of acceptance.
- It was relaunched in 2009 in a larger format with more pages per volume to meet the demand for space.
New researchers/First time authors
If you are studying for a PhD, or have just completed one, and you are thinking of publishing your first article, we would be delighted to hear from you. The IHR is committed to helping new researchers at the start of their careers, and the journal's editors will ensure that your first experience of submitting an article for peer review is a happy and productive one.
This commitment to developing the skills and careers of new researchers is enshrined in the IHR's Pollard Prize. The prize, for the best paper delivered at an IHR seminar, is awarded annually in July and is open to postgraduates or those within one year of completing a doctorate. In addition to £200 of Blackwell books, the winner is offered the chance to publish his or her paper in Historical Research. Runners up also receive a selection of Blackwell books, and may be offered publication in the journal (at the discretion of the Editor).
Historical Research is published on behalf of the IHR by Wiley-Blackwell. See the Wiley-Blackwell website for information about pricing and subscription, to view individual articles or to search the journal's archives.
