Approach and scope

IH is a scientific digital journal which annually publishes original research articles that are not under consideration by the editors of any other scientific journal. We invite articles on Modern and Contemporary History, particularly those engaging in innovative methodological approaches or fostering new lines of work. Unpublished reviews of books recently published in any language as well as contributions to the section “On Archives” are also welcome.

The articles may be written either in Spanish or in other languages –preferably English-. English texts should be written or checked by a native speaker in order to assert the highest linguistic quality.

Frequency of publication

Investigaciones Históricas, época moderna y contemporánea is published annually.

Submissions are welcome throughout the year. The current volume will be closed at the end of the year or, in any case, when enough contributions have been accepted.

Articles and reviews are to be sent as Microsoft Word documents. Texts will have a maximum of  65,000 characters, including spaces, notes, charts, tables and appendices. Any illustrations, images or any kind of graphic content should be inserted in their proper place within the text. Bibliography will appear at the end of the article.

The author is liable for the originality and content of the text and must have the permission required to reproduce all images included in his/her article.

When submitting an article in "Step 3. Enter Metadata" do not forget to include your name, surname and email address, as well as the title of the article, the keywords and the abstracts both  in Spanish and English. To do this, please select the "Spanish" language in the box that appears at the top of the page and include the information in Spanish; then, select the “English” language in the same box and enter the information in English. Do not forget to fill in the “Affiliation” box, indicating the name and mailing address of your institution and your academic category, as well as your ORCID identification number, if available.
