Studies in People’s History
Asian History
Studies in People’s History journal would embrace all aspects of History under the broadest of definitions, but always bearing in mind their relationship with society at large. The journal is peer-reviewed and would aspire to a detailed level of research and theoretical discussion. Papers on the history of classes, and other social groups and gender history, and the National Movement would be especially welcome.
The journal will cover all periods of Indian history (i.e., the entire past of present-day South Asian nations plus Afghanistan), but would also include papers on other countries, especially such as may be concerned with world-wide movements that also affected India (e.g., language shifts: technology transfers, feudalism, capitalism, colonialism, genesis of modern ideas) or with comparative history (in e.g., spheres of political structures, forms of thought, trends in art). The journal could include surveys of work done on particular fields, reports or commentaries on textual sources including inscriptions, and archival documents.
This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Studies in People’s History is an established journal, in print and on–line, issued twice a year (June and December). All contributions are peer–reviewed and subject to copy–editing. It invites or accepts papers on all aspects of History, with insistence on adequate level of detailed research and reasoned analysis. Its focus is on Indian history, in the larger sense of the history of all South Asian countries. But it welcomes papers related to the history of other countries as well, since it deems this crucial for comparative studies and the appreciation of varying applications of the historical method. Moreover, it treats history in all its aspects, extending from the study of technology, economic conditions, social structures, to political history, ideological trends, and women’s history, as well as different aspects of culture and art. Archaeology is treated as part of History, and so too Numismatics and Historical Geography. The journal also publishes surveys of work done in particular fields of history as well as reports on textual and other historical sources. Further, it keeps its doors open to debates on particular historical themes or theories. Up to half of its issues have been devoted to specific historical themes. The journal has also a strong review section.
Special effort is made to publish papers quickly once they are accepted.
