Author Guidelines
The Editorial Board welcomes proposals for papers centred on historical network research into any period of the recorded human past, from Bronze Age civilisation to contemporary history.
We accept submissions in the form of articles as well as reviews of books, projects and datasets. Articles are expected to present substantive and original findings and should not exceed 60,000 and 90,000 characters (incl. white space, footnotes and bibliography). Reviews should not exceed 15,000 characters.
While English is the language of choice, articles can also be submitted in German and French. All articles (but especially those articles written in a language other than English) should be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 300 words in American English which gives the salient points and arguments, and should also be indexed by no more than 5 keywords.
Illustrations and figures should be included in the text document and also uploaded as individual image files in a vector format (e.g. svg).
Submissions will undergo a double-blind peer review. We do not charge any fees for article submissions, processing or publication.
