ABOUT THE JOURNAL

 

Brief Background

 

The journal História da Historiografia (History of Historiography, HH) can be seen as a milestone in the consolidation of studies on the theory of history and the history of historiography in Brazil and Latin America. In Brazil, the journal is related to the significant mobilization of researchers around questions and problems of a theoretical, epistemological, conceptual and methodological nature, observed since the 1970s and which, from the end of the 1980s, acquired increasingly sophisticated contours. The progressive specialization of the field of History throughout the 1990s has produced evident results at the beginning of the 21st century: from the creation of research lines and groups, through the holding of various events to the multiplication of publications and journals, some of which have a specialized profile in sub-areas of research. This is the case with HH, whose first issue was published in 2008, on the initiative of researchers from the Federal University of Ouro Preto (UFOP), the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO) and the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS).

Published exclusively online, HH became a publication of the Brazilian Society for the Theory and History of Historiography (SBTHH), in partnership with the Graduate Programs in History at UFOP and UNIRIO, in 2010. That same year, it began accepting submissions in other languages and currently welcomes articles in Portuguese, Spanish and English. Since 2014, it has had the collaboration of executive editors linked to various Brazilian and foreign institutions, which has broadened its national and international insertion. In addition, in line with international practices, it has started to assign the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to all articles.

The commitment to adopting the best editorial policies has produced some results. In its first Qualis / CAPES evaluation, in 2010, HH was classified in stratum B2 of the History area. In the following evaluation, in 2012, it reached stratum B1 and, since 2013, it has been in stratum A1. That same year, it joined the Scopus database. In 2019, it was incorporated into the Emerging Sources Citation Index collection of the Web of Science and, in 2023, it was admitted to SciELO - Scientific Electronic Library Online.

Another significant concern of the journal's editors is the dissemination and diversification of ways of communicating knowledge. Until 2019, the journal accepted submissions of articles, reviews, interviews and historiographical documents. However, that same year, it opted to publish only original and review articles, keeping the focus on academic dialog between peers, which mirrors the editorial policies of the world's leading scientific journals. At the same time, with the aim of broadening the dissemination of research in the area of history theory and the history of historiography, as well as encouraging multiple possibilities of communication with diverse audiences, HH, in partnership with SBTHH, UFOP and UNIRIO, promoted the creation of a specific portal for this purpose: HH Magazine - humanities on the web, which publishes essays, chronicles, reviews, interviews, poetry, teaching experiences, podcasts and videos related to the human sciences. This has extended the reach of História da Historiografia itself, which has consolidated itself as a kind of brand capable of attesting to the quality of its publications.

 

 

Mission

 

To publish, disseminate and encourage studies on the theory of history and the history of historiography, addressing issues related to the production, foundation, presentation, circulation and reception of historical knowledge, as well as promoting dialogue between different areas based on these problems.

 

 

Open Access

 

The journal História da Historiografia follows the Open Access model, allowing unrestricted virtual access (including financial restrictions) to all scientific texts published by the journal. Open access is the condition in which the copyright holder of an academic work grants usage rights to third parties using an open license (Creative Commons Attribution, CC-BY), allowing immediate free access to the work and authorizing any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles, track them for indexing, pass them on as data to software, or use them for any other legal purpose.

 

 

Open Science Compliance

 

This journal follows the Diamond Open Access model.
Open Science Compliance Form

Open science practices concern the relationship between scientists and society, between knowledge and power. These practices include different types of initiatives, from open access to publication, through free and open publishing, to the direct participation of non-scientists in scientific production. In short, open science means that knowledge should be free for people to use, reuse and distribute without legal, technological or social restrictions, considering the role of knowledge in defending the “common good”, citizenship and democracy.

This journal follows the Diamond Open Access model. When filling in the Open Science Compliance Form, authors must inform:

  • Whether the manuscript is a preprint (accepted servers: SciELO Preprints, SocArXic, Zenodo and Arvix/SocArXiv), if so, its location;
  • Whether data, program codes and other materials underlying the text of the manuscript are properly cited and referenced (examples: SciELO Data);
  • Whether or not they accept the openness options in the peer review process.

In order to encourage open science, HH encourages authors to make their published articles available on institutional repositories, academic social networks and other open access platforms (examples: ResearchGate, Academia.edu), provided they are properly referenced.

 

 

Ethics in Publication

 

História da Historiografia supports the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and adopts an editorial policy committed to ethical publication criteria. This is why it uses tools and adopts procedures aimed at identifying and combating bad practices, fraud and possible copyright violations.

In short, authors must:

  • Explicitly reference citations, hypotheses and data acquired, analyzed or interpreted from other publications.
  • Indicate as authors only those who participated actively and substantially in all phases of the research and writing of the article.
  • Attach a statement of approval from the ethics committee of the institution responsible for approving the research, if applicable.

The reviewer must:

  • Inform about possible conflicts of interest that could affect (negatively or positively) the evaluation of the article;
  • Refuse to assess the article if they identify the author, in order to preserve the blind assessment.
  • Write the opinion in a cordial tone, avoiding comments that do not contribute to improving the text.

Editors should:

  • Inform about potential conflicts of interest that could affect (positively or negatively) the article evaluation process;
  • Maintain a blind review when forwarding the article to the reviewers;
  • Conduct the evaluation process by selecting the most appropriate referees to evaluate the article, seeking its best version for publication;
  • Establishing a cordial dialog with reviewers and authors in order to make the work viable.

After acceptance and before publication, all articles are submitted to the Turnitin similarity checking system. At this point, the textual content of the manuscript is analyzed, seeking to identify similarities with other previously published articles.

 

 

Focus and Scope

EDITORIAL POLICY

 

Preprints

 

História da Historiografia is an annual publication (single volume), with a continuous flow of academic articles (original or review). It also accepts the publication of articles deposited on preprint servers, and all submitted texts are peer-reviewed before publication. In the case of preprints, the evaluation will be simple-blind or open, according to the choice of the author and the referees, expressed through the Open Science Compliance Form.

Prior publication policy

Given the need for a transparent communication process between authors and readers, HH explains its prior publication policy:

  • All material previously published, in full or in part, in a journal, book or website by the authors is considered prior publication and therefore cannot be submitted for evaluation at HH;
  • All content previously available in a non-scientific journal, event proceedings, thesis, dissertation, monograph and work presented as a requirement for completing a course by the authors is not considered prior publication. However, authors must declare the origin of the article at the time of submission in Research Context; 
  • HH accepts articles previously deposited on the SciELO Preprints, SocArXic and Zenodo preprint servers. Other servers will be analyzed on a case-by-case basis by the Editor-in-Chief. The text previously published as a preprint must be correctly cited at the time of submission.

We recommend that authors check that they actually own the copyright to the text in the cases described above.

 

 

Peer Review Process

 

Submissions must be made by registering in the system and then accessing it using a login and password.

The evaluation process begins after three items have been sent:

1. a version of the article without identification;

2. a version of the article according to the submission template, containing authorship data;

3. the Declaration of Conformity with Open Science duly completed and signed.

Once received, the article undergoes an initial screening to check that it complies with the scope of the journal. If so, the text is sent for evaluation to an executive editor, who is responsible for choosing and inviting possible evaluators, as well as mediating between them.

The journal História da Historiografia uses three types of peer review:

1. Double-blind peer review: in this modality, authors and reviewers do not know each other's identity;

2. Single-blind peer review: in this modality, authors reveal their identity, but referees remain anonymous;

3. Open peer review: in this modality, authors and reviewers know each other's identity.

The standard form of evaluation adopted by the journal is double-blind. However, in the case of preprints, it is not possible to guarantee the anonymity of the authors and, for this reason, the evaluation can be single-blind or open.

The possibility of dialog between reviewers and authors can be open or blind, depending on the choice made in the Open Science Compliance Statement. This dialog can also be mediated by the executive editor. Opinions may be published, with or without authorship, as long as the author and the referee agree to this procedure, which must be stated in the declaration.

All articles submitted to the journal are analyzed by similarity software, in accordance with the anti-plagiarism policy. This can happen at any time: before, during or after the evaluation process.

The evaluation process takes an average of 3 to 4 months.

The names of the editors responsible for monitoring the evaluation process are disclosed as metadata when the article is published. From 2025, the total number of referees involved in evaluating each article will appear as metadata in the publication.

See Guidelines for the submission of originals and Declaration of Compliance with Open Science in Guidelines for authors.

Conflict of interest guidelines

  • When submitting the manuscript, the author must inform whether there are any potential conflicts of interest associated with the research and/or preparation of the article submitted. Conflicts of interest can be of a financial, institutional, personal, commercial, political or academic nature, among other motivations.

Examples

  • divergent interpretations in relation to other scholars on a given theme or object indicate that there is an academic conflict of interest, which may affect the evaluation of the manuscript if it is sent to a referee who shares a different interpretation;
  • political, ideological or theoretical disagreement regarding the approach to the subject of the article;
  • personal disagreement between authors and referees, if they can be identified indirectly (through the approach to the topic and/or type of interpretation, as well as the style of writing, considering the article and the referee);
  • personal, political, ideological or academic disagreement between the author and the managing editor and/or editor-in-chief.
  • Reviewers should also disclose to the editors any conflicts of interest that could influence their opinions on the manuscript, and should declare themselves unqualified to review specific originals if they believe this procedure is appropriate. As in the case of authors, if there is silence on the part of reviewers about potential conflicts, this may mean that such conflicts exist and have not been disclosed or that the conflicts do not exist. Therefore, reviewers are also asked to provide declarations of competing interests, which are used to assess the value of peer reports.
  • If there are no conflicts of interest, simply transcribe and add the following note: There were no conflicts of interest in carrying out the present study. Information on the authors' conflicts of interest will be inserted at the end of the published article.
  • The editor with a potential conflict of interest in relation to an author should inform the editor-in-chief, who will appoint another executive editor to forward the evaluation.
  • If authors and referees are unsure of what may constitute a potential conflict of interest, they should contact the editor-in-chief or managing editor responsible for forwarding the review.
  • Authors must acknowledge in the manuscript all financial support for the work and other financial or personal connections in relation to the research. The contributions of people who are mentioned in the acknowledgments for their assistance in the research should be described, and their consent for publication should be documented.
 

 

Open Data

 

History of Historiography publishes original and review articles focusing on theories and/or philosophies of history, the history of historiography and related topics (see Focus and Scope).

Given the type of research and reflection carried out, the production of data, methods and other shareable materials is limited. Despite this, the journal advises authors to follow the Guide to citing research data, informs them about repositories for depositing data and the possibilities for openness, transparency and reproducibility of research, in accordance with the SciELO guidelines.

 

 

Fees

 

História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography (HH) does not charge submission, article processing (APC) or publication fees.

 

 

Ethics and Misconduct, Correction and Retraction Policy

 

História da Historiografia (HH) follows the standards of ethics and responsibility in scientific communication established by national and international institutions such as SciELO and COPE. This means that HH's editorial practices seek to promote the integrity of the manuscript evaluation process, combating:

  • the unreferenced use of data, texts and images;
  • duplicate publication of the same text;
  • excessive self-citation by authors and/or journals.

These and other problems that can damage not only the reputation of HH, but also of research production and promotion institutions, as well as negatively affecting the relationship between scientists and society, must be tackled through editorial practices that make it possible to disseminate the best possible results of research, studies and reflections.

All authors must take responsibility for the content of the texts submitted and published. Confirmation must be made digitally, including a response on potential or actual conflicts of interest, to be recorded in the publication. Texts based on research involving living beings must be approved by the corresponding ethics board and authors who use artificial intelligence in the development of their research and/or in the preparation of the text must inform this.

The work submitted may be revised at any time during the evaluation process. Once the article has been published, any gaps or errors that do not indicate misconduct may be corrected by means of an erratum or addendum. Errata correct errors. The addendum adds information that is missing from the article.

In detail: the addendum does not contradict the original publication and is not used to correct errors, but to include important information for the dissemination of the article, provided that this information does not need to be in the original document. The added information will not actually be inserted into the published article. It will be linked to the article via a link to the addendum page, with the appropriate information and/or references. In addition, the addendum may be peer-reviewed, depending on the case.

Errata can be of three types: correction of information, inclusion of information and exclusion of information. The errata can be published separately or be a direct correction to the published article.

Types of errata:

  • Correction or inclusion of information necessary for the understanding of the published article, in the case where a piece of information has been incorrectly inserted or excluded in an honest way and should appear in the published article, which includes the correction of tables, figures, charts and parts of the text;
  • Inclusion of a funding institution with a contract or process number;
  • Inclusion of author;
  • Inclusion of the author's institutional affiliation at the time of publication of the article;
  • Correction of translations that compromise the understanding of the translated text.

Publication of errata:

The procedure for publishing errata follows the guidelines of international databases and aims to preserve the original record of the published article by informing about corrections.

In the case of excluding parts of the published article that can be considered honest mistakes and do not affect the scientific or argumentative structure of the text, an errata can be published justifying the exclusion.
Actual corrections to published articles:

The actual correction in the published document may only occur in the following data:

  • DOI of the article;
  • Author's name;
  • Corresponding author data;
  • Authorship contribution information;
  • Document section;
  • Article title;
  • Author affiliation at the time of publication of the article;
  • Abstract (complete);
  • Keywords;
  • Funding institution and contract or process number;
  • Funding institution;
  • Citation;
  • Reference;
  • Bibliographic legend (journal title, volume, special issue or number, volume supplement, periodicity, year, pagination, elocation-id);
  • Article history dates.

Any other data that is corrected will not actually be corrected in the original document, but readers will have access to the errata informing them of the corrections.

Cases in which an erratum is not necessary:

  • A layout error that has not deleted data;
  • An error in the formatting of the article (e.g. words that should be in italics, etc.);
  • Proofreading or spelling errors that do not compromise the meaning of the text;
  • ORCID error;
  • A change in the author's institution after publication.

The request for an erratum or addendum must be made using the appropriate form available in the change form.

In the event of misconduct:

  • The published article in which the misconduct was identified will remain as such in the retracted condition. The article cannot be “unpublished”.
  • The retraction must state the reason, duly referenced, by means of a communication from the author or editor.

The published article will be labeled with a retraction notice.

In the event of doubts or questions about authorship or other relevant issues, the editor-in-chief should be contacted so that he or she can take the appropriate measures, which include:

  • Requesting clarification from the author(s) of the article;
  • Informing the affiliation institutions of the author(s) and the funding institutions involved in the development of the research, if applicable;
  • Set up a committee made up of members of the editorial board and those from outside the journal to assess the case, if necessary;
  • Disclosure of the retraction.

Important note:

Authors are requested to provide their first and last names correctly when submitting and in the identified article, considering the usual citation method. Errors or variations in the author's name in publications affect the indexers' metadata, making it difficult to correctly identify the author. The author's last name must be written in ALL CAPS.

 

 

Policy on Conflict of Interest

 

In order for the editorial board to better decide on a submitted text, it is necessary to know about any competing interests that the authors may have. The aim is not to eliminate these interests; they are almost inevitable. Manuscripts will not be rejected, nor will referees be excluded simply because there is a conflict of interest, but there needs to be a declaration of whether or not there is a conflict of interest.

Public trust in the peer review process and the credibility of published articles depend, in part, on how conflicts of interest are managed during writing, peer review and decision-making by editors. Conflicts of interest can arise when authors, reviewers or editors have interests that, whether apparent or not, can influence the preparation or evaluation of manuscripts. Conflicts of interest can be of a personal, commercial, political, academic or financial nature. When authors submit a manuscript, they are responsible for recognizing and disclosing financial or other conflicts that may have influenced their work.

Authors must:

  • Acknowledge in the manuscript all financial support for the work and other financial or personal connections in relation to the research.
  • Report the contributions of people who are mentioned in the acknowledgments for their assistance to the research, describing the type of contribution and attesting to their consent.
  • Declare whether or not there is a conflict of interest when submitting the article, in Step 3: Submission metadata, Conflicts of interest field.

As in the case of authors, if there is silence on the part of the reviewers about potential conflicts of interest, this may mean that such conflicts do not exist or have not been disclosed.

The reviewer must:

  • Disclose to the editors any competing conflicts of interest or substantive interpretative disagreements that may influence or compromise the evaluation, which will be taken into account a posteriori when evaluating the opinions issued.
  • Declare themselves unqualified to review specific originals, if they believe that the evaluation is compromised due to a conflict of interest or identification of the article's authorship, with the exception of the cases foreseen in which the evaluation is opened up.

The editor must:

  • In the case of the editor-in-chief, inform the editorial board, made up of the executive editors, who may suggest the best name to accompany the evaluation of the manuscript;
  • In the case of the executive editor, who is responsible for forwarding the evaluation and deciding whether or not to publish the manuscript, inform the editor-in-chief, who may forward the article to another executive editor, if necessary.

If there are no conflicts of interest, simply add the following note in the specific field included in the opinion form: There were no conflicts of interest in carrying out this study. Information on the existence or not of conflicts of interest of the authors will be inserted at the end of the published article, as metadata.

If the authors are unsure about what might constitute a potential conflict of interest, they should contact the journal's editors.

 

 

Adoption of Similarity Software

 

The journal uses Turnitin similarity checking software. All articles can be checked at any time: before, during, and after the evaluation process.

In order to ensure an editorial policy committed to ethical publication criteria that encourage the identification of plagiarism and similarity, we recommend that authors follow these steps before submitting texts to the journal:

  • Visit the COPE website, which contains information on research ethics for authors and editors;
  • Explicitly reference data acquired, analyzed, or interpreted from other publications;
  • Cite any intellectual content from other authors;
  • List as authors only those who actively and substantially participated in all phases of the research and writing of the article;
  • Do not omit from the list of authors any researcher who was fully involved in the research and writing of the article;
  • Include all authors in the article's authorship criteria.

In the event of plagiarism or similarity being identified, the executive editor responsible will communicate the problem to the author and request clarification. Once the doubts have been clarified, the manuscript will continue in the evaluation and/or editorial processing process. If the questions are not adequately answered, the executive editor shall report the problem to the editor-in-chief, who shall suspend the evaluation and/or editorial processing of the manuscript and notify the author.

The author shall be guaranteed ample opportunity to express their opinion at all stages. The text may be revised and resubmitted at a later date, or the submission may be canceled.

Authors are advised to consult the following materials:

  • Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE);
  • Basic guidelines for scientific activity from the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq).
 

 

Adoption of Software Using Artificial Intelligence Resources

 

History of Historiography understands that the use of artificial intelligence tools and resources, which can assist authors in the preparation of their research and texts, in addition to helping editors organize and streamline editorial processes, is possible, as long as it is guided by ethical principles that guarantee the integrity of the research and the valorization of human authorship. Only humans can be authors.

Examples of cases in which the use of artificial intelligence is possible:

  • Preparation, formatting, review and translation of articles and abstracts;
  • Selection of keywords;
  • Reception, editing tasks, review, translation, preparation of content summaries, assignment of metadata, selection of reviewers.
  • Preparation of reviews.

Any use of artificial intelligence must be informed in accordance with ethical principles and good practices of scientific communication. It is understood that concealing the use of content generated by artificial intelligence is an ethical failure that violates the principles of research integrity and devalues ​​human authorship, which may lead to the retraction of the article. It is up to human authorship to assume public responsibility for their work and ensure the proper use of technological resources.

Authors must inform:

  • The sources and studies used in the research and mentioned in the article.
  • Any and all use of content generated by artificial intelligence. The information must be included in the abstract, in the methods section or equivalent (if applicable) and/or in a reference note.

Reviewers must inform:

  • The use of artificial intelligence tools in the preparation of their opinions.

Reviewers are recommended to use plagiarism detection software and academic search engines, among other tools, to identify plagiarism.

Examples of search engines that help locate previous publications and plagiarism: Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ask, DuckDuckGo.

Content generated by artificial intelligence tools must be cited as a non-retrievable source and/or similar to a personal communication, following the following format:

Company name. Date of access in __/__/__ format. Product name. URL. Version or model.

  • The History of Historiography journal uses the free and open access software Open Journal Systems (OJS), which assists in the processes of receiving and evaluating submitted articles.
  • The work of layout, review, translation and XML markup is decentralized and the companies (which may vary over time) responsible may use their own tools, which must be informed to the journal through a form provided by the journal.
  • Articles are evaluated by ad hoc reviewers, who are recognized by the journal as the authors of their respective reviews, even if they remain anonymous. When performing the task of evaluating a manuscript, reviewers may or may not use artificial intelligence, which must be informed in the review form.
  • The analysis of the relevance of the text to the scope of the journal is done without the use of artificial intelligence, but the evaluation of abstracts and keywords by editors may use them, which should be reported from 2025 onwards.
  • The verification of the originality of articles (plagiarism prevention) uses Turnitin software as a complement to the analysis by experts.
  • Communication between editors, reviewers and authors does not use chatbots.

See Guide to Using AI Tools and Resources.

 

 

Gender and Sex Issues

 

The editorial team of the journal História da Historiografia (HH), in addition to the authors who publish in the journal, must always follow the guidelines on Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER). The SAGER guidelines comprise a set of tools that guide the reporting of information on sex and gender in the design of the study, in the analysis of data and in the results and interpretation of findings. In addition, HH observes the gender equity policy in the formation of its editorial board.

It is understood that any editorial guideline must recognize the specificities of the different areas of knowledge, as well as the scope of each academic journal. Considering HH, problems related to sex and gender can and have been addressed by studies that address concepts and theories on the subject, individual trajectories, networks of intellectual sociability, institutions, construction of canons, practices for evaluating scientific and historiographical production, means of circulation and reception of knowledge, etc.

It is understood that whenever the topic allows for differentiation of sex and gender, editors and reviewers can value the approach and suggest highlights in titles, abstracts and keywords. In this sense, the Guidelines on Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) provide some important recommendations and some of them have been incorporated into the forms for submitting articles and reviews.

The editorial board, in its diversity, shares the defense of human rights and adopts an ethical stance in relation to the treatment of submitted texts, respecting freedom of thought and expression, but remaining attentive to the published content, in order to avoid the dissemination of ideas capable of reinforcing prejudices or promoting forms of discrimination or gender violence.

Types of Documents Accepted

 

The journal História da Historiografia accepts two types of articles: original and review articles. It also accepts evaluations of texts previously published on preprint platforms.

Original, unpublished article

An original article is the report of a study written by the researchers involved in the research. It describes, for example, the methods adopted, the results found, the hypotheses that guided the study, among other information. We receive original articles on topics related to the fields of history of historiography, theory and methodology of history, speculative philosophy of history, historical theories, philosophy of time, and related areas. When submitting, it is essential to indicate whether the article should be evaluated for a thematic dossier or for the free section. Submitted manuscripts must contain between 28,000 and 70,000 characters with spaces, including notes and bibliographical references.

Review article, unpublished

A review article provides a comprehensive summary of the state of the art on a given topic, identifies gaps in current research, and suggests trends. We welcome original literature review articles on topics related to the fields of history of historiography, theory and methodology of history, speculative philosophy of history, historical theories, philosophy of time, and related areas. When submitting, it is essential to indicate whether the article should be evaluated for a thematic dossier or for the free section. Submitted manuscripts must contain between 28,000 and 70,000 characters with spaces, including notes and bibliographical references.
Please indicate which submission and publication languages ​​you accept.

  • I declare that the submitted article is my own;
  • I certify that the submitted article is original and is not being evaluated by another journal;

  • If the article is derived from material contained in a thesis or dissertation, I confirm that it presents substantial progress, especially in the conclusion section;

  • I confirm that I have an ORCID number;
  • I am aware that keywords should be removed from the journal's keyword list, and I may suggest that editors include new keywords.

To submit an article to História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography, it is necessary to be registered on the journal's website and to log in to the system. There is no requirement for a minimum degree for the author to submit articles.

Submission information

At the time of submission, it is mandatory to send three items:

1. a version of the article without any identification;
2. a version of the article in the submission template, containing the authorship data;
3. the Open Science Compliance Statement filled out and signed.

The manuscript evaluation process takes, on average, 3 to 4 months and can only be started when the three required documents are attached.

Manuscript submission guidelines

1. The article must contain between 28,000 and 70,000 characters with spaces, including notes and bibliographical references. It must include an abstract (700 to 1,050 characters with spaces) and three keywords, both followed by translations into English. The maximum number of characters does not include the author's data requested in the submission template.

2. The keywords must be taken from the keyword database prepared by the journal's editors, and it is possible to suggest the inclusion of new words to the editors.

3. The journal publishes contributions in Portuguese, Spanish and English.

4. Contributions must be sent in Times New Roman, size 12, 1.5 spacing and with 3 cm margins. Quotations longer than three lines must be indented from the left margin (1.5 cm), without quotation marks, in size 11 and single spacing. 5. The contribution must be original and unpublished, not under review by another publication and not have any indication of authorship. The author must exclude all information from the file that could identify them as such.

5. The research funding must be indicated in detail in the article information field in the journal's standard template.

6. It is recommended that the author divide the article into sections, which must consist of explanatory titles, in bold and with capital letters only at the beginning (or, if present, a proper noun). Under no circumstances will the division of sections by numbers be accepted.

7. The articles will undergo a pre-selection, which will assess their relevance to the journal's theme. Once approved in the pre-selection, they will be forwarded to the executive editor in charge, who will forward them to the reviewers. All texts must be submitted after spelling and grammar review.

8. Footnotes must be strictly explanatory in nature, with a maximum length of 260 characters with spaces each and limited to a maximum of 12 notes per article. If a greater number of notes is essential for understanding the article's argument, the author must contact the secretariat that will evaluate the request. When a quote is translated, the original text must not be inserted as a note. 13. References should be included in the body of the text in the following format: (Abreu, 2005, p. 36). If you have any questions, please consult ABNT NBR 10520 (2023).

9. References to classical texts should also be included in the body of the text, indicating the author's name, the first word of the title of the work (in italics) and the section and/or lines cited, as in the following examples: Aristotle, Poetics VII; Thucydides, History IV, 49. The complete reference to the cited work should appear at the end of the text, in the references.

10. Only material cited in the text should be listed in the references. Authors should not use acronyms to identify works, as this procedure compromises the automated process of identifying references. All submissions must follow the ABNT NBR 10520: 2023 standards. We provide examples of the main types of documents, and the reference data must be added to them in the case of electronic publication.

11. There is no minimum or maximum limit for tables, charts, diagrams, photographs, graphs and illustrations. All figures must be numbered, have a title, with only the initials of the title in capital letters, and an indication of authorship, in accordance with the ABNT NBR 10520: 2023 standards. Figures in the text must be mentioned in parentheses (e.g. (Figure 1)). There is no specific guideline for image size, and they must be the size necessary to develop the argument presented throughout the article. We also request that the material be sent, preferably, in PNG format, to ensure the quality of the image resolution.

Discontinued sections and published dossiers

A journal is a living organism and, as such, is constantly changing. Until 2019, História da Historiografia accepted submissions of reviews, interviews, and historiographical texts and documents, which contributed to the consolidation of the journal and to the exchange of ideas among researchers in its areas of study in focus. In addition, since 2010, the journal has launched public calls for publication in its thematic dossiers. As a way of preserving this memory of the journal, we leave this data recorded on this page.
