Historical Methods reaches an international audience of social scientists concerned with historical problems. It explores interdisciplinary approaches to new data sources, new approaches to older questions and material, and practical discussions of computer and statistical methodology, data collection, and sampling procedures. The journal includes the following features: “Evidence Matters” emphasizes how to find, decipher, and analyze evidence whether or not that evidence is meant to be quantified. “Database Developments” announces major new public databases or large alterations in older ones, discusses innovative ways to organize them, and explains new ways of categorizing information. “Perfecting Data” addresses generic deficiencies in historical data and suggests ways to alleviate them. “Scholarly Incursions” includes bold cross-disciplinary approaches intended to shake up two or more fields of study. Historical Methods has also initiated an annual issue devoted solely to reviewing books of significance to its readership.
Peer Review Policy:
All articles have undergone anonymous double-blind review.

This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below. Please note that Historical Methods uses CrossCheck™ software to screen papers for unoriginal material. By submitting your paper to Historical Methods you are agreeing to any necessary originality checks your paper may have to undergo during the peer review and production processes.
Preparation of Manuscripts
1. An abstract of no more than 120 words must accompany each manuscript. It should precede the text and be designated Abstract. Please supply four or five keywords at the end of the abstract. 2. Type all copy (including indented material, references, and endnotes) double-spaced, using 1 1/2-inch margins on all sides. Please use 12 pt. type. 3. Type each table on a separate page. Cite each table in the text and indicate where the table should appear. 4. Each map, figure, or graph should be presented on a separate page. Cite each map, figure, or graph in the text and indicate where it should appear. 5. Historical Methods: A Journal of Quantitative and Interdisciplinary History receives all manuscript submissions electronically via its ScholarOne Manuscripts site located at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/JHistMeth. ScholarOne Manuscripts allows for rapid submission of original and revised manuscripts, and facilitates the review process and internal communication between authors, editors, and reviewers via a web-based platform. ScholarOne technical support can be accessed at http://scholarone.com/services/support. If you have any other requests, please contact the Editors, Kenneth Sylvester at kenms@umich.edu, or J. David Hacker at hacker@umn.edu. 6. Accepted manuscripts must be submitted electronically as double-spaced Word files with minimal formatting in Times or Times New Roman. Authors should not use word-processing styles, forced section or page breaks, or automatic footnotes. Tables must be e-mailed in one separate file and figures in another separate file. A hard-copy version of text, tables, and figures will be needed as a backup.
7. As an author you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any figure, table or extract text from any other source. This applies to direct reproduction as well as "derivative reproduction" (where you have created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source).
References
Historical Methods follows the “author-date’’ style described in the fifteenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style (see esp. sections 16.90–16.120). List all published sources cited in the text and notes in a section at the end entitled “References.’’ (References to manuscript materials need only appear in a note.) Place citations in the list of references in alphabetical order. Give all authors’ names. Endnotes are permitted, but simple bibliographic references should be provided as mentioned below, not in an endnote. Acknowledgment of assistance is not to be numbered as note 1; merely begin the page or pages of notes with the acknowledgments.
1. The basic reference should include the author’s name followed by the year of publication with no punctuation separating them: (Smith 1978). Only the year of publication is placed in parentheses if it follows the name of the author(s) in the text: Smith’s (1983) article on mortality is the definitive work.
2. If page numbers are to be specified, place them following a comma: (Smith 1978, 69–71). References following direct quotations must include the page number(s) of the quote.
3. If the work has multiple authors, use all authors’ names if there are two or three. For text citations, use the first author’s name followed by “et al.’’ for works with four or more authors.
4. When two or more works by the same author are cited together, separate the years by commas and do not repeat the name(s): (Smith 1978, 1983). When citing several references by different authors within parentheses, separate them by semicolons: (Fliess 1989; Smith 1983; Vinovskis 1990).
