About the journal
The Journal of Modern History is recognized as the leading American journal for the study of European intellectual, political, and cultural history. The Journal's geographical and temporal scope¡ªthe history of Europe since the Renaissance¡ªmakes it unique: the JMH explores not only events and movements in specific countries, but also broader questions that span particular times and places.
Instructions to Authors
The editors of the Journal of Modern History invite contributions in the field of modern European history from approximately 1500 to the present. The geographic scope of the journal extends from Great Britain through the European continent, including Russia and the Balkans. We will also consider articles on colonialism and articles that deal in part with United States history, provided that the European component of such articles is predominant. We are particularly interested in work that will appeal to a broad audience of professional historians and not just to specialists in a single field.
We also invite authors to submit contributions to our new category of articles, Contemporary Issues in Historical Perspective, which offers contributors a forum in which to explore the intersection between historical knowledge and current affairs. Such articles may, for example, consider the active engagement of historians and other wielders of historical knowledge in shaping contemporary affairs, or they may interpret contemporary European affairs in light of the historian's knowledge of the past.
Review articles are generally commissioned by the editors. Suggestions for possible review articles are welcome.
Book reviews are published in the JMH by invitation only: we do not accept unsolicited book reviews, nor do we commission reviews from self-nominated reviewers. The JMH does not publish comments or letters to the editors.
Work submitted to the JMH may not be under consideration in any form by any other publisher. Submission of a manuscript is taken to indicate the author's commitment to publish in the JMH if the manuscript is accepted. The JMH requires both the right of first publication and the assignment of copyright for both articles and review articles.
Work that already has been or soon will be published elsewhere, in whole or in part, is not eligible for publication in the JMH. This prohibition includes:
articles published elsewhere in the same form;
articles whose substance is drawn from previously published books or articles;
articles that share material with books or articles in progress that could appear in close proximity to the potential JMH publication.
It is the mission of the JMH to bring new scholarship to its readers; hence, we do not wish to publish work that will imminently be available elsewhere. Authors should be aware that the article evaluation process typically takes at least three to six months, and there is generally a period of approximately eighteen months between the acceptance of an article and its publication.Books or articles containing overlapping material must not appear until a year has elapsed from the date of JMH publication.
Occasionally we will consider publishing articles that have previously appeared in another language. This exception applies in two cases: (1) if the language in which the piece was published originally is not one that would be accessible to those readers of the JMH who would be interested in the material; and/or (2) if the original publication is not readily available in U.S. libraries. For example, if an article dealing with French history had already been published in Russian--a language that most historians of France do not read--or if it had appeared in another language in a very small journal that is not easily accessed in this country, we might consider publishing an English translation of that piece in the JMH.
Submissions from graduate students are not eligible for consideration unless the student's dissertation is almost completed and is to be defended at a specifically foreseeable date in the near future.
Articles written in any major European language may be submitted for evaluation. If the piece is accepted, the JMH will commission an English translation for publication in the journal. Authors who are not native English speakers are encouraged to submit manuscripts in their native languages unless the quality of their written English is essentially equivalent to that of a native speaker.
We have a strong preference for articles that do not exceed 15,000 words, including references. Manuscripts should be double spaced throughout, and references should be provided as endnotes. More detailed information on manuscript preparation is available elsewhere on our Web site. Please note that we have separate style sheets for articles, review articles, and book reviews.
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically in Word or WordPerfect format and should be sent by e-mail to jmh@uchicago.edu. If electronic submission is not possible, we will consider manuscripts sent by regular mail to The Journal of Modern History, 1126 East 59th Street, Chicago, IL 60637. Two copies are required in the case of paper submissions; it is not necessary to enclose a self-addressed, stamped return envelope unless you wish the copies to be returned to you. Our evaluation process generally takes between three and six months, although it may take longer over the summer months when outside readers are less readily available.
The JMH follows a double-blind article review procedure in which the identities of the author and the evaluators remain confidential, so any features that could reveal the author's identity should be removed from the text and from the notes until after the manuscript is accepted. Identifying features such as the author's name, affiliation, and acknowledgments should be provided on separate sheets. References to the author's own work in the footnotes should be cited in the usual manner by name and not as "my" or "this author's" article or book.
The JMH does not require assignment of copyright for book reviews. Although the copyright to such a contribution may remain with the author, it is understood that, in return for publication, the JMH has the nonexclusive right to publish the contribution and the continuing right, without limit, to include the contribution as part of any reprint of the issue and/or volume of the journal in which it first appeared by any means and in any format, including computer-assisted storage and readout, in which the issue and/or volume may be reproduced by the publisher or by its licensed agencies.
Instructions for Article Contributors
The Journal of Modern History is edited according to The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition (Chicago, 2003).
- Use underlining, not an italic typeface, to indicate italics. Please note that Press style discourages the use of italics for emphasis.
- The entire manuscript, including all extracts (block quotations) within the text, all notes, and all appendixes, tables, and figure legends, must be double spaced. Allow wide margins of about one and one half inches on all sides. Wide margins and a full double space between lines are needed to provide room for copyediting and for adding directions to the typesetter. Please do not use justified right margins.
- Page numbers should appear in the top right-hand corner of each page, and the first page of text should be numbered page 2, since the journal office will provide the typesetter with a title page which will be numbered page 1. All pages must be fully integrated (that is, a page inserted between pages 7 and 8 cannot be numbered 7A; it must be numbered 8 and the remaining pages renumbered).
- Block quotations should generally be restricted to quoted material of more than 100 words. Shorter quotations should usually be run into the text. (For exceptions, see Manual of Style 11.12.) Quotation marks should always be double, not single; single quotation marks may be used only to set off quotations within quotations. Periods and commas at the end of quotations should always appear inside, not outside, the closing quotation mark.
- Acknowledgments should be given in an initial unnumbered note referenced by an asterisk after the article title; the text for this note should appear on the first page of endnotes before the first numbered note.
- 6. Notes must be provided in the manuscript in the form of endnotes. They should be typed with full double spacing and in the same font size used for the text. No individual note should be longer than one manuscript page, as this makes it difficult for the typesetter to keep note numbers and note text on the same printed pages. Notes should begin in the manuscript on a separate page following the text; footnotes placed at the bottom of text pages are not acceptable. Note pages should be numbered consecutively (i.e., if the last text page is p. 25, the first note page should be p. 26). For examples of note style, see below.
- Appendixes must be typed with full double spacing and should be placed immediately after the text, preceding the notes. These pages should be numbered consecutively with the rest of the manuscript.
- If there are tables and/or figures, each should appear on its own separate page. Figure legends should appear together on a separate page, double spaced. These pages should be placed at the end of the manuscript, after the notes, in the order specified in section 10 below. They should all be numbered consecutively with the rest of the manuscript.
- Contributors are responsible for providing camera-ready copy for any figures, including maps, that they wish to publish with their articles, and for obtaining any necessary permissions.
- Manuscripts should be arranged in the following order: text, appendixes, notes, tables, figure legends, figures. Of course, not all manuscripts will have all of these components.

- Source information for books under review must be provided in an initial unnumbered note referenced by an asterisk after the review article title. The text for this note should appear on the first page of endnotes before the first numbered note. The source note should provide complete bibliographic information for all books under review, including full publication information, number of pages (preliminary pages + regular text pages, e.g., xiv+300), and price. Books should be listed either (1) in the order in which they are discussed in the article or (2) alphabetically by author/editor.
- Subsequent references in the text to books under review should be given as shortened references in parentheses within the text, not in the notes. If only one book by a particular author is under review, the shortened reference may take the form of the author's last name followed by a comma and the page reference. For two or more authors with the same last name, the first name or initials must be included as well. If more than one work by the same author is included, the shortened reference should include the author's last name and a short title, followed by a comma and the page reference. More detailed information on shortened references may be found in The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition, 16.41-16.50.
- Notes must be provided in the manuscript in the form of endnotes. They should be typed with full double spacing and in the same font size used for the text. No individual note should be longer than one manuscript page, as this makes it difficult for the typesetter to keep note numbers and note text on the same printed pages. (The source note may be an exception, since its length depends on the number of books under review and therefore is not adjustable.) Notes should begin in the manuscript on a separate page following the text; footnotes placed at the bottom of text pages are not acceptable. Note pages should be numbered consecutively (i.e., if the last text page is p. 25, the first note page should be p. 26). For examples of note style, see below.
