The Journal of World History publishes research into historical questions requiring the investigation of evidence on a global, comparative, cross-cultural, or transnational scale. It is devoted to the study of phenomena that transcend the boundaries of single states, regions, or cultures, such as large-scale population movements, long-distance trade, cross-cultural technology transfers, and the transnational spread of ideas. Individual subscription is by membership in the World History Association.

  • Author Guidelines

  • The Journal of World History publishes research into historical questions requiring the investigation of evidence on a global, comparative, cross-cultural, or transnational scale. Manuscripts must be submitted electronically via the new web portal (jwh.msubmit.net); emailed and mailed article submissions are no longer accepted. Please create an account at this web portal, login, and follow instructions.

    Manuscripts should conform to the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2017). All text, including quotations and footnotes, should be 12 point Times New Roman font, double-spaced with generous margins, and of no more than 12,000 words (including notes). All citations and references should appear in consecutively numbered footnotes, not endnotes. Articles must be anonymous as all articles considered by the editors to have potential for publication will be subject to blind peer review by at least two scholars in the field. Please remove any name, title, or other identifying text from your article that might reveal your identity as an author. Acknowledgements should not appear in the manuscript but can be added to the text later if the article is accepted for publication. A brief (150-word) abstract should be submitted with the original manuscript.

    Submission of a manuscript to the Journal of World History indicates that the material is unpublished and is not being considered concurrently for publication elsewhere, even in a language other than English. Work that will soon be published in substantially the same form as part of a book or made available on the Internet should not normally be submitted. Articles that have been distributed on the Internet via a non-peer-reviewed platform may be considered for publication at the discretion of the editor.

    Please see jwh.msubmit.net for detailed manuscript submission guidelines and instructions.
